• Manage and pay for baggage through your online reservation
  
  

• Note: For layovers or connections, you might need to re-check bags depending on routing

• Cancel or request refunds/credits — check your fare terms via Manage Booking (especially within the 24-hour risk-free window)
  
  

• Add special services—wheelchair assistance, pets, meals—directly through your reservation
