The case went to court after a woman travelling from Madrid to Brussels, was forced her to pay €20 to bring her small suitcase onto the plane.
The judge called the change in the baggage policy as abusive, saying that it "curtailed the rights that the passenger has recognised by law", and declared it invalid in Spain.
The passenger in question was also seeking compensation, which she was denied by the court.
"The passenger suffered rage and powerlessness in having to pay the extra unforeseen cost at the time of boarding" however, the discomfort did not reach a level that would justify compensation.
It will be interesting to see if this sparks a trend.Explore more on these topics:
