What additional charges will I have to pay?
Any items of a personal nature including but not limited to: phone calls, tips, laundry, beverages, meals not stated, taxi and bus fares, passport and visa fees.
You may also be required to pay an airport departure tax.
Because of changes in restrictions and security concerns, individual carriers on Intra-European flights can have different baggage restrictions than trans-Atlantic carriers.
Intra-European flights tend to be more restrictive on baggage weight and luggage size than transatlantic flight guidelines and could result in excess baggage charges.
In order to make your flights as pleasant as possible, it is important that you check each carrier's baggage restrictions prior to flying.
