Does everyone get one free checked baggage allowance?
score:7
No, not all airlines give you a checked baggage allowance built into the ticket, the obvious example being Ryan Air:
What is my checked baggage allowance?
Each passenger can purchase up to 3 checked bags of 20 kilos.
Emphasis mine.
Side note: plan on booking holiday through expedia will they bring up checked baggage and so forth is this something i shouldn't really worry about?
Yes, Expedia will show the airlines baggage policies:
They also provide a detailed information page from the summary page:

The technical name for this is “unbundling”. Traditionally, air fares would include the transportation itself but also food and drinks, luggage, etc. Low-cost carriers separate the different components and charge for them separately. One obvious benefit is that, everything else being equal, the headline fare will be lower and make the airline much more attractive.
What to do if you need to take more with you is simple: Pay the extra charge. If you get over the annoyance and the feeling that it is expensive for what it is, you will probably find that the base fare + extra charge is still a better deal than any other reasonable alternative (legacy airline, other means of transportation…). Same thing for on-board food: €5 or so for a snack is not cheap but it's usually cheaper than at the airport or than the difference with a legacy airlines fare.
Personally, I fly with EasyJet perhaps 5 to 10 times a year and usually don't take any hold luggage. As a matter of fact, I also fly legacy airlines for business and even when hold luggage is included in the fare, I will often avoid checking in anything because it's a hassle.
