Can the flight booking API show the baggage allowance before my customer chooses a flight?

Yes, the flight booking API can show the baggage allowance before your customer chooses a flight, when that information is provided by the airline or flight supplier.

The booking portal may display the included cabin baggage and checked baggage beside each flight or fare option. This helps the customer compare fares more fairly, since a lower fare may include less baggage. The allowance can differ by airline, route, travel class, fare type and passenger, so the details shown should always match the selected option.

Some suppliers provide a clear baggage allowance during the first search, while others return limited details or confirm them later in the booking process. A supplier may also describe baggage by weight or by the number of pieces. If the airline does not send complete baggage information through the API, glideFares cannot guarantee that every allowance will appear at the same stage.

Showing an included allowance does not always mean that extra baggage can also be purchased through the same booking flow. That option depends on the airline, the supplier connection and the features available on your plan. Check which flight sources you intend to use and ask glideFares to confirm what baggage details and extra baggage options they support.
