Each airline sets its own terms and conditions, including baggage policies. This can lead to variations, such as Wizz Air's specific rule about neck pillows, which differs from most other carriers. These policies are influenced by operational costs, aircraft capacity, and competitive strategies, aiming to balance customer experience with profitability.
