How to Avoid Baggage Fees on Last-Minute Flights

Avoid Baggage Fees on Last-Minute Flights can be tricky, but with a bit of strategy, it's possible to save money. First, check the airline's baggage policy when booking; some airlines offer free carry-on allowances even on last-minute tickets. Next, pack light and smart—use a smaller carry-on or personal item to avoid checked bag fees. If you must check a bag, look for airlines that include free checked bags in their fare structure or consider budget carriers with lower fees. Another option is to use travel reward programs or credit cards that offer free checked bags as a benefit. Additionally, consider consolidating your belongings to fit within size and weight limits for free carry-ons. Finally, always review your airline's baggage policy and fee structure before finalizing your booking to avoid any surprises. By planning your packing strategy and taking advantage of available perks, you can minimize or even eliminate last-minute baggage fees.
