Free vs paid
- Always free: one personal item within 17 × 13 × 9 in under the seat.
- Base reservation: carry-on + checked are Optional Services (ULCC à la carte) — paid.
- Active-duty military (ID): 1 carry-on + up to 2 checked free; embargo: some flights limit to 1 checked — confirm itinerary.
- Avelo PLUS ($99/yr; first year $59 listed): member fare perks; bag fee waiver not confirmed on Optional Services — confirm T&Cs before claiming.
- No Frontier-style WORKS/PERKS / Economy-includes-carry-on names on Optional Services — do not invent.

Gotchas
- Airport / later purchase often higher than new-reservation $34–$70 / $39–$70 ranges — buy early.
- Overweight and oversize stack to +$200 (official) — budget both if the bag fails weight and linear.
- Bags >70 lb or >80″ not accepted (except assistive / discretionary sports/instruments exceptions).
- Up to 10 bags per customer — fee per bag; don’t assume unlimited free.
- Military 2-checked free can be cut to 1 on some flights — confirm itinerary.
- Exact check-in vs airport dollar steps beyond the published ranges need the live tool — confirm rather than assuming a full POS matrix.
- Carry-on is paid — don’t bury that under checked-only framing.
Avoid fees
- Add bags online at initial reservation (lowest tier of the published ranges).
- Stay ≤50 lb / ≤62 linear inches to avoid OW/OS (+$100 / +$200).
- Pack to personal-item only (17 × 13 × 9) when possible.
- Active-duty military: use free carry-on + checked allowance with ID.
- Confirm live Optional Services / Manage Travel for your city-pair before travel.
