Tips to avoid extra fees

Add baggage during booking — online pre-booking is almost always cheaper than paying at the airport counter.

Weigh your carry-on — US airlines strictly enforce the 1 carry-on + 1 personal item limit, especially on budget carriers.

Book flexible fares if your plans may change — the difference is often worth it for peace of mind.

Check-in online 24 hours before departure to secure your seat and avoid any last-minute fees.

Read the fare rules before booking — "Basic Economy" fares often have zero refund/change options.

Use Skyviorafly to compare airlines side-by-side — sometimes the cheapest base fare isn't cheapest after baggage fees.

Join airline loyalty programs — free baggage is often included with status or co-branded credit cards.

Consider airline credit cards — many offer free checked bags as a cardholder benefit.
