Tips to avoid extra fees
Add baggage at booking — online pre-booking is always cheaper than paying at the airport counter.
Weigh your cabin bag — airlines strictly enforce the 7kg limit, especially on budget carriers.
Book flexible fares if your plans may change — the fee difference is often worth it.
Check-in online 48–24 hours before departure to avoid check-in fees on some budget carriers.
Read the fare rules before booking — "Saver" fares often have zero refund/change options.
Use SkybirdFly to compare airlines side-by-side — sometimes the cheapest base fare isn't cheapest after bags.
