Win for passenger baggage limits reshapes air tariff rules
A Miami lawyer, Donald Pevsner, challenged the one percent per kilo excess baggage charge set by IATA, winning a Civil Aeronautics Board ruling. The CAB ordered economy passengers to be allowed one 62 inch bag, one 65 inch bag, and one carry-on 39 inch bag, with extra bags priced by size and distance, starting June 1. The decision affects foreign carriers operating in the U.S. and could cause international travel pricing friction.
