Why can't I add checked baggage to certain flights after the original booking?

With some airlines, it's only possible to add checked baggage during the original booking because:

• The airline's online booking management system does not allow us to add it later, or
• The airline's payment system does not allow us to pay for it later.

We apologise if this causes you any inconvenience.

If you're unsure about ordering checked baggage:

Try packing a small cabin bag before you book. If it's not sufficient, then go ahead and order checked baggage up front.
