About this tool
Estimate excess baggage charges on IndiGo, SpiceJet, Akasa Air, Emirates, Etihad, Singapore Airlines, Thai, Turkish, British Airways and Ryanair, prepaid vs at the airport.
Know the extra baggage bill before you fly. Pick an airline, enter your bag weight and route, and compare prepaid excess baggage with paying at the counter. This page brings together 10 separate excess baggage cost estimator pages (Akasa Air, British Airways, Emirates, Etihad, IndiGo, Ryanair, Singapore Airlines, SpiceJet, Thai Airways, Turkish Airlines) so you can compare them without hunting for the right one.
Open Excess Baggage Cost Estimator on AltFTool — it loads instantly in your browser.
Choose your airline at the top: Akasa Air, British Airways, Emirates, Etihad and 6 more. On a phone it is a drop-down list.
Fill in the excess baggage cost estimator for that airline; each of the 10 options keeps its own rules, data and defaults.
Read the result, then switch airline to compare. The page link keeps your airline (?v=akasa-air), so you can bookmark or share it.
Akasa Air, British Airways, Emirates and the rest sit behind one picker, so switching airline takes a tap instead of a new search.
Every airline keeps its own rules, numbers and defaults rather than one generic template.
The link remembers the airline you picked, so a bookmark or a shared link opens straight on it.
10: Akasa Air, British Airways, Emirates, Etihad, IndiGo, Ryanair, Singapore Airlines, SpiceJet, Thai Airways, Turkish Airlines. Pick one at the top of the tool; the page link updates (for example ?v=akasa-air) so you can bookmark or share that exact view.
Extra checked weight is priced per kilogram and the rate rises the later you buy: cheapest when added to the booking, higher at web check-in, and highest when it is weighed at the airport counter. Domestic rates have sat in the ₹400 to ₹550 per kilogram band across those channels, but they change with the fare sheet and by sector, so enter the figures your booking page shows.
Extra bags are charged per piece, with the amount set by route band, and buying one in Manage My Booking before you travel is consistently cheaper than paying at the check-in desk. Because BA revises the table and prices short-haul European routes very differently from long-haul, this tool takes the fee as an input so you can price the amount your own booking quotes.
There is no single rate — Emirates prices excess by route band and by the currency of the point of sale, so the same extra kilo costs a different amount on a Dubai to Mumbai sector than on a Dubai to London one. What is consistent is that weight bought in advance through manage-booking is cheaper per kilogram than weight weighed at the airport counter, which is why this tool prices both from the rate you enter.
Excess is charged per kilogram over the free allowance, at a rate set by route, and weight bought in advance through Manage My Booking costs less per kilo than the same weight weighed at the airport desk. Because the rate varies widely between routes and points of sale, this tool takes both rates as inputs rather than storing a figure that would quickly be wrong.
Domestic excess is billed per kilogram at the check-in counter, and the published rate has sat in the ₹500–₹550 per kilogram range in recent fare sheets. Buying the same weight in advance as a prepaid excess baggage slab is cheaper per kilogram, which is why this tool prices both. Rates change with the fare sheet, so check the current figure on the booking page and type it in.
Weight above the hold allowance you bought is billed per kilogram at the bag drop, and the published headline rate has long been 11 euro or 11 pounds per kilo depending on the market. Because it is charged on every one-way flight, 5 kg of excess on a return trip is ten kilo-charges rather than five — which is usually more than the price of a second hold bag bought online in advance.
It depends on the fare brand, measured in total weight rather than pieces: Economy Lite 25 kg, Economy Value and Standard 30 kg, Economy Flexi and Premium Economy 35 kg, Business 40 kg, First and Suites 50 kg. Because it is a weight allowance, how you split it between suitcases makes no difference to the charge.
Domestic excess is charged per kilogram at the check-in counter, with the published rate sitting around ₹500 per kilogram in recent fare sheets. Weight bought in advance through manage-booking is charged at a lower per-kilogram rate. Because the rate changes with the fare sheet and by sector, type the figure your booking page shows into the calculator rather than relying on a stored number.
There is no single worldwide rate — Thai Airways sets excess charges by route band and by the currency of the point of sale, so an extra kilo on a Bangkok to Singapore sector costs a different amount from the same kilo to Frankfurt. What holds everywhere is that weight bought in advance is cheaper per kilogram than weight weighed at the check-in desk, which is why this tool prices both from the rate quoted on your own booking.
There is no single rate — Turkish Airlines sets excess charges by route band and by the currency of the point of sale, so an extra kilo from Istanbul to Berlin costs a different amount from the same kilo to Delhi. The consistent part is that weight bought through manage-booking before departure is sold at a discount to the desk rate, which is why this tool takes the airport rate and the discount percentage from your own booking.
