Auxiliary services in aviation
Auxiliary services, also known as ancillary services, are additional services offered by airlines to enhance the travel experience of passengers. These services are not included in the basic ticket price and are often available for an additional fee.
Some common examples of ancillary services in aviation include:
- Seat selection: Passengers can choose their preferred seat in advance, such as a window seat or aisle seat.
- Extra baggage allowance: Passengers can purchase additional baggage allowance if they need to carry more luggage.
- In-flight meals: Passengers can pre-order special meals or purchase meals on board.
- Priority boarding: Passengers can pay for priority boarding to skip the queue and board the plane first.
These ancillary services allow airlines to generate additional revenue and provide passengers with more personalized options during their journey.
