I flew Aer Lingus recently and the flight had exactly that: 1 free item of checked luggage, pay for hand luggage (except an under-the-seat-in-front-of-you personal item).
It worked great except that the bag-check process was absolutely terrible: every passenger had to go to the desk outside security. But other airlines have solved that issue (separate check-in and self-service-tag-printing+bag-drop-only queues make a big difference).
