"Skis fly for free, right?" I've heard that line at Munich airport more times than I can count. Usually from someone who just got a nasty surprise at the check-in desk. Whether your ski baggage on a plane is free or suddenly costs 105 euros extra comes down to two things: your airline and your...

I watched someone lose a half-empty bottle of Chanel No. 5 at Frankfurt airport security last week. She'd had it for years. Didn't matter. The bottle said 200 ml on the label, so it went straight into the bin.

Your cabin trolley just got a price tag. Since May 19, 2026, Lufthansa's Economy Basic fare on European short and medium-haul routes no longer includes a free overhead bin bag. You get one small personal item under the seat. That's it.
