Jetstar charges customers for carry-on luggage
Jetstar has announced a new policy charging customers for carry-on luggage starting next year, allowing only one small under-seat bag with tickets and requiring payment for overhead locker access. This move represents the airline's joining of competitors in monetizing previously included services, making it increasingly difficult for consumers to accurately compare advertised fares with actual total costs. Industry experts view such add-on fees as obscuring true ticket prices and potentially misleading consumers.
