Jetstar to charge extra for overhead cabin bags from February

Jetstar, the low-cost airline owned by Australia's national carrier Qantas, will start charging passengers for storing larger carry-on bags in overhead lockers from February as it changes its cabin baggage policy.

Under the new policy, passengers can continue to bring one small bag, such as a backpack, handbag or laptop bag, that fits under the seat at no extra cost. Those who want to carry a larger bag in the overhead locker will have to pay between A$25 and A$52 per flight, depending on the route.
