Asiana Airlines to Launch 'Baggage Pre-Purchase Service' Starting from the 10th

[Asia Economy Reporter Yu Je-hoon] Asiana Airlines announced on the 6th that it will start the 'Baggage Pre-Purchase Service' for all international routes from the 10th.

The baggage pre-purchase service is a system that allows passengers to prepay for additional baggage exceeding the basic free baggage allowance through the website or mobile web/app. Each passenger can purchase up to 2 additional pieces of baggage (each weighing up to 23 kg).

The prices are 180,000 KRW per piece for routes to the Americas, 90,000 KRW for Saipan, 54,000 KRW for short-haul routes within 1 hour and 30 minutes of flight time, 99,900 KRW for Japan, Greater China, and Mongolia, and 126,000 KRW for other Asian regions. These prices are 8,000 to 20,000 KRW cheaper than paying at the airport counter.

This service is available up to 24 hours before the flight departure and can be purchased at a rate 10% cheaper than at the airport counter. However, it is only available on direct international flights operated by Asiana Airlines and excludes itineraries that include connecting flights or transfers.

An Asiana Airlines official stated, "Using this service can reasonably reduce the time and cost spent at the check-in counter."
