NEW YORK—Sen. Charles Schumer wants airlines to scrap a proposal to reduce the allowed size of carry-on luggage.

He planned a news conference Sunday to warn travelers that a 20 percent reduction would force them to pay more for check-in fees or spend money on new luggage.

We want to blow the whistle on this before it happens.
Chuck Schumer, senator (D-N.Y.)
