Family vacation ends with an expensive surprise: 400 euros for hand luggage. Family from Cologne had to pay an additional 400 euros when they returned from Turkey.
The additional costs for excess baggage amounted to 80 euros per person, which totaled 400 euros. The family felt “ripped off” but eventually gave in and paid to defuse the situation. The different hand luggage regulations of different airlines can quickly become confusing for travelers. An EU Commission is now calling for uniform rules for handuggage.
