Overhead cabin baggage fees are charges levied by airlines for passengers to bring larger carry-on luggage into the aircraft cabin and store it in the overhead bins.

The practice has sparked significant consumer debate and regulatory scrutiny globally regarding fare transparency and passenger rights.
