Before booking, understand baggage, fare-type and seat differences so you pick what suits you. This guide explains weight, bags, cabins, seats and ticket types clearly.

Baggage weight (20/25/30/35kg) & buying extra

Allowance varies by airline and fare (often 20, 25, 30 or 35 kg checked + a cabin bag). Many airlines let you buy extra weight with the ticket or later. The actual baggage details show when you pick a flight in search.

With bag / without bag

Some economy fares include only a cabin bag (no checked), others include one or two checked bags. Check what your ticket includes before paying.

Seat selection (window / family seats)

Some airlines let you pick a window seat or adjacent family seats at booking or later — available options depend on the airline and fare.

Ticket terms: changeable / free cancellation / non-refundable

Flexible tickets (changeable, free cancellation or refundable) cost more and are safer if your dates aren't fixed; economy tickets are often non-refundable. An ‘open’ ticket lets you set the return later. The final price and its details show before you pay.

Cabin: economy / premium economy / business

Choose economy for the best price, premium economy for more comfort, or business for full perks. You can set the cabin in search.
