Guide to Baggage Fees

avatar

Sneaky baggage fees can really add to the total cost of your flight, with some carriers now charging for carry-on bags. Checked bag fees can vary based on the weight of your bag. To further complicate matters, these costs can even vary based on where you’re flying to and from, flight duration, and even whether you purchase your baggage online, through customer service, or at the airport.

To better prepare you, we put together an overview of expected baggage fees by airline carrier across various routes and zones. Take a look, and pack your luggage accordingly.

Editors’ Note: Prices are accurate at the time of publication. Prices are converted from original currency to USD where relevant. Listed fees may not apply to fares that include luggage in the ticket price.
