TL;DR
It’s usually cheapest to add baggage in advance on the airline’s website; prices go up closer to departure, and airport rates are typically the highest. With Wizz Air, online check-in is especially important because airport check-in is paid and can be very expensive.

If you’re using a pre-booked transfer instead of flying, the ticket can be around 2500, with baggage paid separately to the driver. In one example, a suitcase plus a large backpack cost an extra 1500.

On regular airlines such as S7, it’s better to add baggage in advance through the official website. Travelers report that the earlier you buy it before departure, the cheaper it is, while buying at the airport last minute is the most expensive option.

For Wizz Air flights, make sure to complete online check-in in advance: if you don’t, airport check-in is paid and can sometimes cost almost as much as the ticket itself. If your baggage is already paid for, you usually drop it off separately at the bag drop counter.
