Worst Fees To Avoid & Real-World Trap
Wizz Air charges €34 for 20kg checked baggage at Athens (ATH) if booked online after 24 hours. In April 2024, I paid €34 extra for a 20kg bag on W6 12:30 PM flight when I missed the online booking window. Always select baggage at booking—adding it later costs €34. Aegean includes 10kg free but charges €25 for extra 10kg. Never assume "all-inclusive" pricing.
