Turkish Airlines Manage Booking: Adding Additional Baggage
If you’re planning a trip with Turkish Airlines and find yourself struggling to fit all your belongings into the standard allowance, the airline’s online booking portal makes it simple to purchase extra baggage. This guide walks you through the entire process, from locating the “Add Extra Baggage” option to confirming your payment, so you can travel with peace of mind.
Why Consider Additional Baggage?
There are several common reasons passengers need more than the complimentary weight limit:
- Long‑duration trips that require extra clothing or equipment.
- Sports gear, musical instruments, or business supplies that exceed the standard 23 kg (or 30 kg for Business Class) allowance.
- Family travel where each member’s luggage adds up quickly.
- Unexpected souvenirs or gifts purchased during the journey.
Purchasing additional baggage in advance usually costs less than paying at the airport, and it guarantees that the needed space is reserved for your flight.
How to Add Extra Baggage via “Manage Booking”
Follow these clear steps to add extra weight to your reservation. The process mirrors the style of many “How To” tutorials you’ll find online, and even a short video (0:00 INTRO – 0:04 TUTORIAL) can illustrate each click.
- Visit the Turkish Airlines website and click the Manage Booking tab located at the top of the homepage.

- Review the total cost. Turkish Airlines often offers a discount for multiple pieces purchased at once.
