- Australian airline Jetstar will charge passengers to use the overhead lockers for their bags
Jetstar, an Australian budget airline, will begin charging passengers to store carry-on bags in overhead lockers starting February 2027. The fee, starting at 25 Australian dollars, aims to reduce boarding stress and streamline flight departures by encouraging use of under-seat storage for free. This move follows similar practices by U.S. and European low-cost carriers.
