Fees on the official page

  • Going over the allowance at the airport means excess baggage fees, and the bag may have to be checked (no amount given). source

Good to know

  • Jetstar Airways (JQ) carry-on rules change from 2 February 2027. The figures here apply to travel before that date, or with Jetstar Japan (GK). source

Need more allowance? Add the bag online, before the airport

Many airlines charge more at the airport or gate than when you add a bag online. Flair's own page, for example, lists a carry-on at $49–$109 when booking but $99–$154 at the airport gate (CAD, or USD for US-originating trips). Check your airline's current price on its official site:

Links go to each airline's official page. We haven't verified direct manage-booking links yet, so we link to the official baggage page.
