Domestic adding checked luggage
I booked a domestic flight HND > CTS for later this month, but forgot to add the checked luggage at the time of booking and for some reason can't seem to add it online, perhaps this is a feature of domestic flights?
Firstly I assume the normal fare doesn't come with checked baggage?
If not, how do I add the luggage - can I do it at the time of online check-in? If so how early does this commence?
I assume if all else fails I'll need to do it at the airport, but assume like other airlines will be much more expensive to do this.
Hoping to add 3 checked bags and 1 ski/snowboard bag, split between two people (e.g. 2 bags each).
Also does anyone know the cost for checked bags both online if possible and at the airport?
Thanks!

Thanks. I’ve been looking on the website and that makes sense, it seems it includes 20kg and it confused me at first that it’s based on a weight model rather than number of bags. So seems I will most likely need to pay the excess fee.
Im still confused whether I can/need to do this online, I’m guessing it’s just done at the airport.

They are not penny pinchers on the 20kg limit, but you can be charged excess. You'll have to wait until the airport to manage that.

By the way you will find most Japanese people won’t be checking their ski/snowboard bags when flying to Hokkaido for skiing as sending them by Takkyū-bin (or Takuhai-bin) is often cheaper and definitely more convenient.
