Steps
After retrieving a flight offer from the Amadeus Flight Offers Search API, locate the pricingOptions and travelerPricings arrays within each offer object.
Within each travelerPricing, inspect the fareDetailsBySegment array; each entry contains an includedCheckedBags object with quantity (integer, number of bags) or weight (integer) and weightUnit fields.
If the includedCheckedBags quantity is 0, the fare is typically carry-on only; surface this prominently as baggage fees may apply at check-in.
For chargeable extra bags, note that additionalServices.chargeableCheckedBags uses the same BaggageAllowance shape but represents a paid add-on, not an included allowance — do not merge the two when displaying totals.
When displaying allowances, group by segment because long-haul and short-haul legs within the same booking may have different baggage rules.
To get the most accurate baggage data, re-confirm allowances via the flight offers pricing endpoint before order creation, as allowances can differ from initial search results.
Known gotchas
Amadeus Self-Service test and production API keys are being disabled 2026-07-17 as the self-service portal shuts down; Enterprise API customers are unaffected; migrate to an Amadeus Enterprise contract or contact Amadeus sales before that date.
Baggage data in search results may be absent or incomplete for some carriers; always re-price via the pricing endpoint for authoritative allowance details.
Weight-based and piece-based allowances coexist across different itineraries/carriers — display the dimension actually present (quantity vs. weight/weightUnit) rather than assuming one format.
