Baggage Revenue Analysis Summary

Baggage is a significant revenue stream for airlines, with the market growing from $32.9 billion in 2019 to $20.9 billion in 2021, accounting for up to 4.6% of global airline revenue. Carriers are increasingly implementing baggage fees across routes and fares, contributing to ancillary revenue through either fees for carry-on items/policies or basic fares without included checked bags.

Key Insights

American (previously US Airways) and Spirit exemplify how baggage fees drive multi-billion revenue, with Spirit seeing $21.51 per passenger revenue from 2011 to 2021.
The LCC business model is highly adapted for baggage fees, while global carriers typically offer baggage as optional at lower baseline revenue rates.

Baggage Fee Trends

Carrier	Lead-in	Discount	Cash Premium	Range in $/Passenger
North America	Basic economy	One carry-on	Highest fee	$8–21
Europe	Branded fares	Fixed baggage allowance	Variable	$16–24
Middle East	Capacity-based	Gate fees if sold		$17–36

Marketing Strategies

Baggage policies are being communicated through:

Booking path warnings exceed simple disclaimers, using price incentives and priority boarding guarantees.
Three-tiered hierarchical display creates clear purchase trajectories, enabling consumers to consistently add baggage services.
Localized strategies for international markets help manage policy differences in booking paths.

Baggage Points of Value

Alaska Airlines and Delta offer 2,500 frequent traveler miles if passengers' baggage arrives within 20 minutes of arrival.
Volaris guarantees a $80 USD credit if passengers' bags don't arrive on the same flight.
easyJet and Spirit use dynamic pricing models.

Recommendations

Airlines should:

Pre-pay baggage options and connect them with airline loyalty systems.
Implement a guarantee service to offset boarding process delays and policy confusion.
Leverage the booking path to offer discounts and convenient tailored options.
Test and mature dynamic baggage pricing models.
