Baggage-Adjusted Fare Index
A methodology for comparing fares after baggage, seat, and fare-rule exposure, without presenting examples as live prices.
Region
North America
Status
Methodology framework
Cadence
Monthly when airline policy and observed fare samples are available.
Quote-Ready Summary
Fly2Any recommends comparing total fare exposure, not just base fare, when baggage and seat rules materially change trip cost.
Methodology
- Separate base fare, carry-on policy, checked-bag policy, seat rules, and cancellation terms.
- Use official airline policy pages or observed booking-session terms for each rule.
- Do not mark planning examples as bookable offers.
Data Credibility
| Sample size | 0 observed baggage-adjusted fare samples in the public methodology file. |
|---|---|
| Observation window | Not active until airline policy and observed fare samples are published. |
| Freshness | Methodology framework; not a live baggage-adjusted fare dataset. |
| Source class | Future observed fare samples plus official airline baggage and fare-rule sources. |
Exclusion Rules
- Exclude baggage rules without source URL, timestamp, or fare-family context.
- Exclude samples where seats, bags, taxes, and fare restrictions cannot be separated.
- Exclude planning examples from customer-facing price schema.

The current CSV is a methodology framework, not a live fare dataset. It is intentionally marked as non-observed until live samples meet source and freshness requirements.
