How to add baggage during Expedia flight booking?
When you book flights through Expedia, you might wonder: how can I add baggage?

Typically, when you search for flights on Expedia and pick an itinerary, you’ll see a breakdown that includes whether baggage is included. If it’s not, look for an “Add bags” or “Additional options” link.


In many cases, low-cost carriers will NOT allow Expedia to sell baggage. That means after you book your ticket on Expedia, you’ll receive a confirmation email with the airline booking reference. You then log in directly on the airline’s site to add baggage.


Some airlines allow Expedia to sell baggage at the time of booking, but not afterward. That’s why you should carefully check before you click “confirm.” If you miss adding baggage during checkout, you might pay more at the airport.


What if you’ve already booked and want to add bags later? Simple: pull up your Expedia itinerary under “My Trips.” Look for a “Manage Booking” or “Add baggage” button. If it’s not there, you must add bags on the airline’s website.


Remember, each airline has unique baggage fees. They often depend on route, season, and how close to departure you’re adding bags. That’s why sometimes baggage bought via Expedia isn’t the cheapest option.


For people traveling with oversized bags or special items (like skis or musical instruments), adding baggage can be even trickier. Not all of these can be booked online. Often, you’ll have to call the airline directly, though Expedia support might assist.


Finally, keep an eye on your confirmation emails. They’ll list what baggage is included. Many travelers overlook this and show up at the airport shocked by high fees.
