Anyone who's flown a budget airline in the last few years has probably noticed the same thing: the rules around what you can bring on board seem to shrink a little more with every trip. What used to be a fairly standard carry-on allowance has splintered into a maze of size charts, weight limits, and add-on fees that vary from one airline to the next.
