What extra costs should I check before booking Mendoza to Cartagena flights?

Before booking, always check for potential extra costs such as baggage fees, seat selection charges, and in-flight services. Some airlines may also charge for printing boarding passes at the airport. These additional fees can add up and impact your total travel budget.
