Jetstar’s about to shake up baggage rules: starting February 27, Aussie flyers will pay $25 (about $18 USD) per way to stash carry-ons in overhead bins—aiming for smoother boarding and less gate chaos. Small under-seat items like purses or laptops? Still free, with the old 7kg limit scrapped. Overhead bags? Limited to 10kg, no pre-boarding weigh-ins. While similar fees exist overseas, this makes Jetstar the first major Aussie/NZ carrier to charge specifically for bin space. Critics warn it could ruffle feathers among travelers used to inclusive fares, even as the airline touts efficiency gains and a “pay-for-what-you-use” model.
