1. Buy extra checked baggage

  • Buy extra checked baggage at the airport: If you find that your luggage is overweight when you arrive at the airport, you can buy extra checked baggage weight directly at the airline counter. Note that the cost of buying at the airport is often higher than buying in advance online.
  • Buy extra baggage before your flight: If you know in advance that your luggage will be overweight, buy extra baggage weight online before you go to the airport to save money.

2. Move some items to carry-on

  • Optimize your carry-on: Check to see if you can transfer some items from your checked baggage to your carry-on, as long as they do not exceed the weight and size limits of your carry-on.

3. Repack your luggage

  • Repack at the airport: Some airports offer a baggage repacking service, where you can rearrange your belongings or move some of them to your carry-on. This can help reduce the weight of your checked baggage.

4. Send your baggage by courier

  • Use a courier service: If your baggage is too heavy or you don't want to pay extra for checked baggage, you can send some of it by courier to your destination.

5. Dispose of or leave behind some items

  • Dispose of or leave behind unnecessary items: If you can't repack or buy extra baggage weight, you can consider leaving behind unnecessary items or finding a way to dispose of them at the airport.

6. Check the airline's baggage policy

  • Find out about the baggage policy in advance: Before you fly, you should carefully check the baggage policy of the airline you are flying with to know the weight limits and fees for overweight baggage. This will help you be better prepared and avoid surprises at the airport.
