Posto qui, nel caso spostate pure. Si parla di sentenza storica.



Spain's leftist government said Friday it has fined five budget airlines including Ryanair and EasyJet 179 million euros ($187 million) for "abusive practices" such as charging passengers for hand luggage.


The carriers, which also included Spanish airlines Volotea and Vueling along with Norwegian Air, were also fined for charging passengers to reserve adjacent seats for children and other dependents and not accepting cash when selling tickets at airports, the consumer rights ministry said in a statement.


Irish no-frills carrier Ryanair, which was the first to start charging extra for hand luggage in November 2018, was slapped with the biggest fine (107.8 million euros), followed by Vueling -- part of the International Airlines Group which also owns British Airways -- which was ordered to pay 39.3 million euros.

EasyJet was fined 29.1 million euros, Norwegian Air 1.6 million euros and Barcelona-based Volotea 1.2 million euros.
The fines are also for providing misleading information and lack of price transparency "which hinders consumers’ ability to compare offers" and make informed decisions, the ministry said.


Ryanair was specifically fined for charging passengers a "disproportionate amount" for printing their boarding passes at terminals when they did not have them.


The different fines were calculated based on the "illicit profit" obtained by each airline from these practices.

The ministry said it had upheld fines that were first announced in May and dismissed the appeals lodged by companies.


Consumer rights association Facua, which has campaigned against the fees, hailed the decision as "historic".



"These sanctions are the highest ever applied by a consumer protection authority," it added in a statement, saying passengers could now claim reimbursement of these charges.

Secondo voi cosa succederà? Faranno ricorso e la decisione verrà cancellata?
Perché, forse la soluzione che metterebbe d'accordo tutti, sarebbe la possibilità di imbarcare un bagaglio di 8/10kg già compreso nella tariffa di basic economy.

io continuo a pensare che questi provvedimenti siano una follia totale: il risultato finale sarà un biglietto più caro per tutti, anche per il 20enne che vuole farsi un fine settimana a madrd e si accotenta dello zainetto che dovrà pagare quanto il manager che invece deve necessariamente portarsi un trolley da 10kg. in più tornerà il caos per trovare posto nelle cappelliere. sono provvedimenti populisti lontani dalla pratica.

Sicuramente il prezzo aumenterebbe, ma il caos nelle cappelliere lo escluderei: non penso che molti pagherebbero l'extra per avere il bagaglio a bordo, quando ti è incluso nella stiva.

il bagaglio nella stiva è un'enorme perdita di tempo. io pagherei pure di non essere costretto ad andare al banco check in per consegnare il trolley e poi all'arrivo aspettare al nastro la restituzione del bagaglio, ripeto: questo provvedimento è populista e peggiorativo
