Colloquial sense of “promotional material” (from recording companies, etc.) was in use by 2001; swag was English criminal’s slang for “quantity of stolen property, loot” from c.1839.

The statement, ‘You can take your baby on the flight free of charge’ would be in opposition to ‘You have to pay to take your baby on a plane’ or ‘It’s not free’, or informally, ‘You gotta pay for it’. If you’re referring to a product, it’s probably more common simply to use a phrase such as “which must be paid for”.
