Baggage
At Miles Air Travels, we help you understand airline baggage rules, fees, and allowances so you can travel with confidence and avoid unexpected charges.
Baggage charges vary depending on the airline’s specific rules. Each airline sets its own allowance based on ticket type, route, and fare class. Lower-priced or restricted fare types may not include any bags beyond a small personal item, and additional bags may incur extra fees. For most domestic flights, fees typically begin around US $30 for the first checked bag, with costs increasing for additional bags.
Generally, budget carriers charge for any bag other than a personal item like a purse or small backpack. Full-service airlines may also charge for checked baggage, especially when passengers book basic or economy fare types. In some cases, even carry-on luggage may incur a fee depending on the fare purchased.
Most basic economy tickets only cover the flight and do not include additional perks like checked luggage. This fare class offers the lowest price but typically limits what luggage is included.
Main economy passengers usually receive standard baggage allowances. In contrast, basic economy bookings may allow only one personal item, with no included checked bags. Optional services such as carry-ons or checked luggage are often available for an extra fee.
Policies vary by airline and route. Some basic economy fares include a carry-on plus a personal item, while others allow only a personal item. It’s important to review your fare’s baggage rules before travel to avoid unexpected fees at the airport.
Yes, baggage charges are applied per passenger and per direction of travel, based on the airline’s fee structure.
Whether your flight includes baggage depends on the fare type booked. Some fare classes include a carry-on and/or checked bag, while others only include a personal item. Always check your exact ticket details or contact Miles Air Travels for confirmation.
Many international tickets include at least one checked bag in the cost, but this still varies by airline and fare type. Checking your specific booking details is the best way to confirm what’s included.
It’s generally recommended to arrive at the airport 2–3 hours before departure if you plan to check bags. Most airlines require checked baggage to be dropped off at least 60 minutes before a domestic flight and 90 minutes before an international flight.
Yes, checking baggage at the airport often costs more than purchasing it in advance during booking. The closer you get to departure, the higher the charges tend to be.
Carry-on bags must meet size and weight limits, and certain items are restricted by security rules. Always check airline guidelines and TSA restrictions before travel.
Online Check-In
Online check-in helps you save time at the airport by allowing you to confirm your flight details and receive your boarding pass in advance when you book with Miles Air Travels.
Online check-in allows passengers to check in for their flight through the airline’s website or app before arriving at the airport. It helps reduce waiting time and makes the travel process smoother.
Most airlines open online check-in between 24 and 48 hours before departure. The exact time depends on the airline and route.
After booking with Miles Air Travels, you can complete online check-in by visiting the airline’s official website and entering your booking reference and last name.
Online check-in is not mandatory, but it is highly recommended. Passengers who do not check in online can still check in at the airport, though additional time may be required.
Yes, you can check in online even if you have checked baggage. After arriving at the airport, simply drop your bags at the airline’s designated baggage counter.
In many cases, seat selection is available during online check-in, depending on the airline and fare type. Some seats may involve an additional fee.
If online check-in is unavailable for your booking, you can complete check-in directly at the airport counter. Certain ticket types or special services may require airport check-in.
Some airlines allow digital boarding passes on mobile devices, while others may require a printed copy. It’s best to check the airline’s boarding pass policy before travel.
Online check-in is available for many international flights, but some routes may require passengers to check in at the airport for document verification.
After checking in online, arrive at the airport on time, proceed through security, and head to the boarding gate. If you have checked baggage, make sure to drop it off before the airline’s baggage cutoff time.
If you face any issues with online check-in, you can contact the Miles Air Travels support team for guidance and assistance.

Travelling with Pets
Miles Air Travels provides helpful guidance on airline pet policies so you can travel safely and comfortably with your pet.
Whether your pet flies with you inside the cabin or travels in the cargo hold depends mainly on its size and the airline’s rules. Smaller pets that fit comfortably in an approved carrier under the seat in front of you can usually fly in the cabin. Larger animals that cannot fit under the seat may need to travel in the cargo area. Regardless of where they go, always ensure you know the airline’s specific pet policy before booking.
When flying with a pet, a proper pet carrier or kennel is essential, whether your pet travels in the cabin or cargo. The kennel should be strong, well-ventilated, leak-proof, and large enough for your pet to stand up and turn around comfortably. Make sure it has sturdy handles, and clearly label it with “Live Animal Inside,” your name, contact number, and destination address.
The fee for bringing your pet in the cabin varies by airline, but it can be around $125 for a one-way flight. Costs can be higher or lower depending on the airline, your route, and your pet’s size. Shipping a pet in cargo is usually priced based on the combined weight of the pet and its carrier, as well as the flight distance.
Not all breeds are permitted to fly, especially in the cabin. Some airlines restrict breeds that may have respiratory or health issues, so always confirm your pet’s eligibility before booking.
Choosing a nonstop flight can reduce stress for your pet, especially on long journeys. Also, try to avoid peak travel times when airports are busiest. If your pet must fly in cargo, check the weather for your destination — it may influence which flights are safest for your animal.
Airlines generally limit how many pets can be on each flight. To secure a spot for your pet, it’s best to contact the airline well before booking and reserve space for both you and your pet together.
Yes — before your pet’s flight, visit your veterinarian to obtain a health certificate confirming that your pet is fit for air travel and has all required vaccinations. This certificate is usually required at both departure and arrival, especially for international travel.
Different locations may have specific rules for bringing pets into the country or region. Some places do not allow pets in the cabin or require special paperwork, so check destination animal importation laws ahead of time.
Arrive at the airport earlier than usual so you have enough time to check in your pet. If your pet travels in the cargo hold, you may need to take it to a designated drop-off area separate from regular check-in. If your pet flies in the cabin, you’ll check in together at the regular counter before security.
After you land, proceed to your baggage claim and then to the airline’s cargo pickup area to collect your pet. If it’s not picked up within a certain time frame (often a few hours), some airlines may transfer the pet to a boarding facility or veterinarian.
The most comfortable option for many pet owners is cabin travel, where your pet stays in an approved carrier under your seat. Usually, the combined weight of your pet and carrier must meet airline limits. Booking early is recommended as most airlines have a limited number of cabin pet slots.
