澳大利亚廉价航空公司捷星航空（Jetstar）宣布将从2027年2月开始对乘客使用客舱顶部行李舱进行收费[1]。收费标准起价为25澳元（约18美元），具体价格因航线而异[1]。该公司首席执行官斯蒂芬妮·塔利表示，"通过给予客户座下行李和优先随身行李选项，我们可以更好地利用行李舱空间，简化登机流程，帮助更多航班按时起飞"[1]。
根据新政策，放入顶部行李舱的行李重量上限为10公斤（22磅）[1]。乘客可免费在座位下方放置小物品，该类物品的重量限制将从原来的7公斤调整为无限制[1]。航空评级公司首席执行官莎伦·彼得森表示，捷星航空是首家对行李舱收费的航空公司[1]。
Jetstar, Australia's budget carrier, will begin charging passengers to use overhead lockers for their luggage starting in February 2027, with fees beginning at 25 Australian dollars (18 U.S. dollars) and varying by route.[1] The airline's move aims to streamline boarding procedures and reduce cabin congestion during check-in.
Under the new policy, passengers will continue to store small items such as handbags and laptop bags beneath their seats at no cost, though the weight limit for these items will increase from 7 kilograms to unlimited.[1] Overhead bin luggage will be restricted to a maximum of 10 kilograms (22 pounds).[1] Jetstar CEO Stephanie Tully stated that "by providing customers with a seat-below bag and a priority carry-on option, we can better utilize bin space, streamline the boarding process and help more flights depart on time."[1]
According to aviation ratings company executive Sharon Petersen, Jetstar is the first airline to implement paid overhead bin access.[1]
