Baggage Fees

Baggage fees are charges that airlines impose when passengers check in bags beyond their allowed free limit or choose to bring additional luggage. These fees vary depending on the airline, route, and baggage size or weight. Typically, a traveler gets one or two free carry-on and/or checked bags, but anything extra or oversized often incurs a cost. Paying baggage fees helps airlines cover the costs of handling, storing, and transporting luggage. To avoid surprises, it's advisable to review the airline’s baggage policy beforehand and factor these fees into travel expenses.
