[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In America airlines tend to turn a blind eye the carry-on size limits and make up the difference with: "Boarding groups 7 to 9, your ticket says carry-on but... NO!"

[b]In Europe they often enforce carry-on size limits strictly: "This is 1.5 in wider than limit, so... NO!"[/b][/quote]

It has gotten so bad, that Spain just fined several airlines for charging for carry-ons, seat assignments, and boarding passes and not accepting cash on board.

"Spain's Consumer Rights Ministry fined the carriers for violating customer rights when charging for larger carry-on luggage, picking seats or boarding pass printouts, while not allowing cash payments at check-in desks or to buy items on-board, said consumer rights associations OCU and Facua which have been challenging the practices since 2018. The ministry opened an investigation in 2023.

OCU said in a statement it expected other European countries to follow suit and also to punish those same "abusive practices.""
