If you've completed your flight check-in and later realize you have more luggage than allowed, you have several options to address this situation. It's important to be aware that paying for excess baggage at the airport check-in counter may incur higher fees. If your baggage exceeds the extra allowance, consider these alternatives:
• Turkish Airlines sells excess baggage allowances on its website, mobile app, and at the airport check-in counter. Your travel route and luggage weight determine excess baggage costs.
• Cargo Service: Turkish Airlines transports luggage over the standard baggage allowance. You can ship cargo through Turkish Airlines' website or customer service.
• Baggage Shipping Companies: Many companies specialize in shipping luggage. The weight and distance of your items determine baggage shipping costs.
