Check in luggage on flights between London and Edinburgh

score:2

Accepted answer

Nowadays many of the short-haul flights (and some of the long-haul flights) have a lowest fare that does not include any checked luggage.

This is usually shown quite prominently during booking (especially on the airline’s own website), with incentives to book more expensive fares which include checked-in luggage and/or other advantages, usually centred around flexibility (modifiable or refundable fares), number of frequent flyer miles earned, priority treatment, and so on.

You usually always have the option to add a checked-in luggage allowance to your booking, though:

  • the cost is usually slightly higher than the fare difference between the lowest no-hold-luggage-included and the next more expensive fare which includes luggage
  • it is nearly always a lot more expensive to pay for the hold luggage at the airport and/or at the last minute. You definitely want to buy the allowance online in advance.
