Air NZ cracking down on large cabin baggage

From Checkpoint, 5:28 pm on 7 March 2024

It's fair to say most people have baggage, but some airline passengers are taking the absolute mickey with their jumbo sized hand luggage, hogging the overhead lockers and breeding festering resentment among fellow passengers.

We've all seen the rule breakers; nochalantly gliding down the aisle with a bag stuffed fatter than a Christmas turkey, having to winch it into the overhead bin; trespassing into other passengers turf.

Let's not get started on the underseat antics.

Well buckle-up baggage delinquents, Air New Zealand is coming for you.
