ticket.
You also paid
for bags.
BaggageIQ stamps the real total onto every flight you see — on Google Flights, Skyscanner, Kayak, MakeMyTrip, Booking.com & Expedia. The bait fare gets a red correction. The number you'll actually pay takes its place.
The fare they show you isn't the fare you pay.

Works everywhere you already book.
Every flight gets a real total.
Not just a price tag. A decision.
Your wallet, decoded.
Travel cards give you free bags. But only on certain airlines, only for certain cabins, only if you book on that specific card. BaggageIQ knows all the rules — and bakes them into the real price on every flight.
- 62 travel cards, 80 benefits. Delta SkyMiles Amex, United Explorer Chase, British Airways Amex, Citi AAdvantage — and more, refreshed weekly.
- Every coverage rule. Primary only vs primary + companions. Domestic only vs any route. "If booked on card" caveats stamped inline.
- Seat selection fees. Real seat fees for 109 airlines — standard, preferred, extra legroom, exit row. Choose your seat preference and see the true total.
- Card seat benefits. 15 cards cover seat selection fees — Delta Reserve gives Comfort+, Amex Platinum's $200 credit covers seat fees, Citi Executive gets Main Cabin Extra free.
- Lives on your device. No server ever sees which cards are in your wallet.

Questions travellers ask before installing.
Is BaggageIQ really free?
Yes. The full feature set — real-price overlays, seat-fee math, credit-card baggage benefit subtraction, the best-value score badge, the price-position bar, fare-upgrade tips — ships free to every user. There is no Pro tier, no subscription, no paywall, no affiliate commission on bookings. The extension is a side project, not a business model.
Which flight search sites does it work on?
Six of the booking sites travellers use most: Google Flights, Skyscanner, Kayak, MakeMyTrip, Booking.com, and Expedia. It overlays real-cost numbers directly into the search results page so you can compare flights without clicking through to checkout. We trimmed from 11 sites down to the 6 we can keep working reliably as those sites redesign their layouts.
How does BaggageIQ know what each airline charges for bags?
A bundled database covering 109 airlines, with per-fare-tier baggage allowances (Basic Economy, Main, Premium, Business, etc.) and per-route fee breakdowns where airlines price bags differently by region. The database ships inside the extension — no per-search API calls — and refreshes via a backend pipeline that monitors airline fee pages for changes.
Does it slow down flight search results?
No. BaggageIQ reads the flight cards that the booking site has already loaded, computes the real cost locally from the bundled airline database, and stamps the badge on top. There is no extra network request per flight, no waiting on a remote server, and no interference with the booking site's own JavaScript.
What about credit-card baggage benefits?
62 travel credit cards are wired in. Add the cards in your wallet, and BaggageIQ will subtract the free-checked-bag benefit (and applicable seat-fee credits) from the real total when the airline matches a card you hold. So if your United Explorer card waives one checked bag on United metal, that flight's real cost reflects it — and you can see at a glance whether your card actually saves you money on this booking.
Does BaggageIQ collect my browsing or flight search data?
No. There is no analytics on which flights you searched, which routes you compared, or what you booked. The only telemetry is opt-in and limited to anonymous extension health metrics (extension version, crash counts) — no personal data, no tracking pixels, no ad networks, no affiliate links. The privacy page lays out exactly what touches the network and what stays on your device.
Does it work on mobile?
Not yet. BaggageIQ is a browser extension, and the major mobile browsers (Safari iOS, Chrome Android) don't support full extension APIs the way desktop browsers do. The desktop builds cover Chrome, Edge, Brave, Firefox, and Safari on macOS. Most flight booking happens on desktop anyway, but mobile is on the backlog if extension support improves.
