Wizz Air Holdings Plc, Eastern Europe’s biggest discount airline, plans to stop charging customers for carry-on luggage, bringing it into line with rivals Ryanair Holdings Plc and EasyJet Plc as low fuel prices boost earnings.
While Wizz had allowed customers to bring aboard small items and laptop bags for free, it imposed a fee of between 10 and 35 euros ($11.50-$50) for standard-sized cabin luggage, depending on the time booked. Those levies will be dropped from Oct. 29, allowing free carriage of bags up to 50 percent bigger, it said Wednesday.
