The timing on this is funny. I was just talking about this with me SO. I am on vacation around BENELUX and this is the first time I've ever seen the carry on bags were paid. You can take a small bag though but I remember that, at least before covid, you could bring a carry on + a small bag under the seat in front of you for free.

I was asked 50€ for the carry on this time... So for a couple that's 200€ just in carry on fees lol. I packed all my clothing on my backpack and I think I'll eventually need to pay a laundromat or something to wash my clothes but it won't be 50€.

Fuck these hidden fees.
