Budget carriers like Spring and 9 Air often exclude checked baggage, while full-service airlines include 20kg. We compile free baggage allowances and excess fees for 40 airlines.
Baggage is the most overlooked detail when booking budget flights. A 99-yuan fare looks great until you pay over 100 yuan at the counter to check a 20kg bag. Always check whether your fare includes free checked baggage.
