Australian airline Jetstar will charge passengers to use the overhead lockers for their bags

Australian budget airline Jetstar has announced a new policy that will require passengers to pay a fee to utilize overhead locker space for their carry-on luggage. The change is intended to address issues related to limited storage capacity and the practice of passengers filling lockers with large suitcases.

By implementing this charge, the airline seeks to manage the logistical challenges of cabin bag storage. The policy shift aims to alleviate the common passenger experience of finding overhead bins already occupied by other travelers' items.
