Yes, a UK student visa can often be extended if you apply in time, have a new CAS, and meet the academic progress and money rules. If your course is running longer than planned, or you’re moving on to a new course, you may be able to stay in the UK by extending your student

Yes, extra checked bags can usually be added after you’ve checked in, though airport cutoffs, bag drop timing, and payment method can change what’s still possible. If you’re staring at your Alaska Airlines booking and just realized you need another checked bag, don’t panic. In many cases, you can still add bags after check-in. The
