ANA has a generous baggage policy in comparison with most airlines – even economy travelers get 2 bags included in their base fare.

However, if you’re traveling with overweight or oversized bags, it’s important to note that ANA will charge a fee each time you exceed a category.

Frequently asked questions

Does ANA weigh carry-on?

ANA allows passengers to bring onboard a piece of standard carry-on baggage plus a personal item. These items combined must not weigh more than 10kg and not exceed 22″ x 16″ x 10″. There is always a chance ANA will weigh your carry-on baggage so it is best not to chance this to avoid having to store your bag in the hold.

Can we carry a bag with linear dimension of 177 cms with 32 kgs instead of 2 bags of 23 kgs each?
Reply
- Erin Miller March 20, 2019
  Hi KP, ANA states that the max linear dimensions of any bag shall not exceed 158cm. Since your bag is 177cm, you’ll be subject to an ‘excess baggage charge’.
  Additionally, if you’ve purchased an economy fare, airlines are pretty strict about your weight limit. ANA’s weight limit per bag for economy travelers is 23kg. Anything over will incur an excess charge.
  Lastly, it’s important to note with ANA that if you exceed both weight and size, you’re subject to BOTH excess charges.
  The charges applied will depend on your flight route — you can see more details on Excess Baggage at ANA’s site here.

Hello,
I need to check, my baggage is not more than 18kg but I am not sure about the size of may bag. The bag capacity is up to 30kg but my total baggage is not more than 18kg.
I will be travelling Osaka to Haneda on NH. I hope baggage will not be any issue in my case, as I want to avoid excess charges.
Please advise.
Reply
- Catherine Luther March 29, 2019
  Hi Sanchita,
  For checked luggage, ANA has a maximum linear size allowance of 158cm, so you would need to measure the length + height + width of your bag to calculate this.
  We’re not sure what cabin you’re traveling in, but it’s worth noting that Economy and Premium Economy has a maximum weight allowance of 23kg per bag, Business and First Class has 32kg per bag.

  Hi A, according to ANA’s website, this should be a charge of $200 USD for the outbound flight (converted to the local currency of the country of departure) and 200 CAD for the return flight.
  Please keep in mind we are not ANA, this is simply what we have gleaned from their website – for the most accurate information, we suggest calling their customer service department.

Hello,
I will have 2 extra bags from KL to Tokyo. Can you confirm that it is 100USD per piece? Can I pay cash at the airport? What currency do I pay in?
I tried to look at the ANA website to no avail.
Thank you.
Reply
- Erin Miller April 17, 2019
  Hi Mars – First, please be advised we are not ANA. We are Upgraded Points, a website publishing points and miles based articles and additional travel content like this baggage fee article. As such, we can give you our best researched answer, but we cannot 100% confirm any fee as we are not ANA – you would have to call their customer service line for that.
  ANA’s policies state that on international flights, economy passengers (you did not state which cabin class you are flying so I am just assuming economy here) are allowed two free checked bags up to 23kg/50lbs a piece.
  For extra bags, ANA states “The currency and fee applied vary depending on the itinerary, the sector on which baggage is checked in, as well as the airport at which the payment is made.” The currency should be USD when you are paying in Malaysia, and JPY when you are paying in Japan.
  Currently, the way ANA shows pricing on their website, you should expect to pay $100 per extra bag, per leg of your trip. If you have 2 extra bags both ways, this should amount to $400 total for extra baggage fees.
  If you would like to prepay online, please see our “Can I Prepay for Baggage” section above for more details. In terms of if you can pay cash at the airport? Many airport ticketing desks no longer accept cash payments – this varies by airline and even airport in some cases. We are unable to confirm whether or not you can pay cash but if this is your only option (vs. prepaying online or paying via cc) we suggest you call ANA first to confirm you can do so.
  Hope this helps…

      Hi Phi,
      You can view ANA’s restricted items on the airline’s website.
      In regards to cosmetics, ANA states:
      “Non-radioactive Cosmetics and Drugs (Including Hair Spray)
      2 kg or 2 liters per person are permitted to be checked in or carried on board in containers of up to 0.5 kg or 0.5 liters.
      * Sprays must have their valve secured by a cap or other adequate method to prevent the content from accidentally leaking out.
      * When checking in non-radioactive cosmetics or drugs and sprays for sporting equipment or daily use together, their combined amount must not exceed 2 kg or 2 liters.”
      So the items you mentioned should be fine, provided they are within ANA’s stated restrictions.

  Hi Isao, please be informed we are not ANA. We are Upgraded Points, a website publishing educational information on points and miles strategies as well as other travel related articled such as this baggage fee post.
  As such, we can’t confirm ANA’s policy on this. That being said, we attempted to search their website but have found no specific mention of smart backpacks. They DO mention that lithium-ion batteries are not permitted in checked luggage and in terms of carry on baggage, items with lithium-ion batteries are allowed but only if the battery can be removed.
  We suggest calling ANA’s customer service and inquiring directly with them for the most accurate answer to your question.

  Hi Arceli,
  ANA accepts sporting equipment with a weight not exceeding 45 kg and total linear dimensions (length, width, height) not exceeding 292 cm. This can be checked as part of your free baggage allowance but if you have already exceeded your allowance then you will need to pay for an additional bag ($200). If one of your checked bags exceeds 23 kg then then excess charge for 23-32 kg is $60.

Thank you for the very concise information. I wonder if you could explain the baggage charges/ allowances for an international flight (LAX- NRT- SGN / ANA airline flight the whole way), economy class, with a small pet. I understand the fee for the pet is $400 USD.
My question is, do you think I am still allowed to have 2 pieces of checked luggage at the allowable weight of 50 lbs each, and the pet crate ($400) and a carry on and a personal item? I am moving to Vietnam, so this is a one way trip.

  Your standard ticket would include your carry-on, personal item and 2 pieces of checked luggage. The service fee for the transportation of your pet would be separate and this would not be considered part of your checked luggage.

I am going to Canada via ANA. I have 2 pcs of 23kg of baggage free, right? What if I add another bag that is less than 23kg? How much will I pay?

  Hi Michelle,
  Yes, you receive 2 23kgs bags for free. The cost of adding another bag will depend on where you’re flying from, but should be between $100 to $200.

I am going to travel from Los Angeles to Narita. I have 2 pieces of baggage free. 1 bag is 25 kgs and the other is 20 kgs. Am I good to check in this baggage?

  Hi Juddy,
  Checked bags with ANA have a weight limit of 23kgs. So I recommend you move some of the weight from your first bag to the second bag or you’ll likely be charged an overweight fee.

My carry-on bag is around half an inch over the limit for one of the dimensions (1 in and 1.5 inch under for the other two) will I be charged the oversize fee?

  Hi Alice,
  More likely than not, they won’t measure it. So you will probably be fine. However, if they do decide to measure it then it, then they may decide to charge you.

I will be travelling from Haneda, Japan to Manila, Philippines. I understand that the free check-in baggage is 2 pieces of baggage with a weight of 23kgs each, a total of 46kgs.
What if I have only 1 check-in baggage with the weight of about 35kgs, do I still need to pay a charge? Thanks.

  Hi Teddy,
  If a piece of luggage exceeds 23 kg, you would be charged an overweight fee of ¥20,000/$200.

I will be flying from KL to the USA through ANA and United, and I would like to have a carry on bag (approx.10kg), a backpack with electronics like a camera, laptop, power bank, etc. Could you please advise if this is possible?

  Hi Kayla,
  Yes, you should be perfectly fine to bring those items.

Hi, my carry on is already 22lbs. I have a backpack as my personal item, and it has my laptop in it and some other personal stuff. Will they weigh my backpack too??

  Hi Yhan,
  They most likely won’t weigh either of your carry-on items. In my years and years of travel I have never seen a carry-on item get weighed so you should be just fine.
