ancillaries
Add-ons and auxiliaries
Ancillaries are supplementary items or services that support something primary.
Airlines sell ancillaries like seat upgrades, baggage fees, and in-flight meals alongside the ticket itself.
In healthcare, ancillary services include lab work and imaging—necessary but secondary to the main treatment.
The hotel profits more from ancillaries than room rates.
