Tips about Baggage Allowance

Luggage is weighed as passengers check in at the airport. (from Wikipedia)

1. Avoid Extra Fees: Keep in mind that your bags will be weighed at the airport. If your baggage is over the limit included with your ticket, you might have to pay expensive fees. It’s better to add extra baggage in the app before your flight to avoid this.
2. Special Baggage: If you’re bringing large items like musical instruments or sports gear, contact the airline directly. These items might need extra baggage allowance, and the prices at the airport can be much higher.
