(5)luggage allowance(Refers to the amount required for checked baggage, calculated by weight; if less than one kilogram, it is counted as one kilogram.)

luggage allowance

Some flights do not offer free baggage allowance. We can weigh your suitcase in advance. If the size is less than 20 inches and weighs less than 7 kilograms, you can bring it on board.

If you have a lot of luggage, you can choose to buy extra; the airline's official account will be cheaper than at airport counters.

The minimum unit purchased is 5 kilograms, so any portion exceeding 5/10 kilograms can be charged separately as an overweight fee. For example, if my suitcase is 6 kilograms, I can purchase a 5 kilogram baggage allowance separately and pay a 1 kilogram excess weight fee. (The fee for 5 kilograms is 60 yuan, 10 kilograms is 120 yuan; overweight fees may be slightly higher, so choose wisely; Except for some airlines)
