- No refunds if you pay for add-ons that are later not used
- It's cheapest to buy the luggage allowance at the same time you buy the ticket, sometimes a bit more expensive to add it from home between the booking date and the flight date, and truly usurious if you do it at the airport on the day itself
You may also wish to consider the Ski Ta-Q-Bin service:

Thanks. Yeah, I had not heard of this airline and know nothing of them, but that makes sense. Besides, I figured Japan had more rules about such things. We may not need to take the flight after all... we have one booked on a different carrier but it had to do with airports and times... Anyway it would be better in this case to pay up front and not have issues. Appreciate the help. PS... Rarely do I chose low cost airlines because, well, they stink in terms of real costs and frustration costs.
