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.

Hi, can I confirm if check-in baggage allowance to U.S. from Singapore is 2 pieces (each weighing up to 23 kg or 50 lb) per person?
Hey Sharon,
You’re absolutely correct. Thanks for reading!
Can we carry a bag with linear dimension of 177 cms with 32 kgs instead of 2 bags of 23 kgs each?
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.
Hi,
I’m traveling to Japan with my partner and we will each have a snowboard bag 150cm and 159cm in size will these be able to travel with us on all our flights including our flight from Japan to Austria all tickets are booked with ANA.
Thank you.
Hi Richard!
Yes, your snowboard will be able to travel with you but they will be subject to the excess baggage charges outlined in the post.
Thanks for reading!
I just read the allowances, am travelling from Australia to Japan with skis, thought it said that sports equipment can be up to 292cm?
Hi Janis,
According to the ANA website, the overall allowance will depend on the routing. For the exact allowance for your situation, I would contact ANA directly.
Thanks for reading!
Hi, I just want to ask if the check-in baggage allowance for Manila to Osaka flight is 2 pieces and each is weighing up to 23kg or 50lbs per person? Thanks!
Hi Mariz, this should be correct since this is an international flight. However, since we are not ANA, we cannot 100% confirm.
ANA does state that your free baggage allowance should be clear on your e-Ticket/Receipt which can be found on the reservation details page. This link is very helpful in telling you where to find this information. Hope this helps!
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.
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, I am traveling from New Delhi to Calgary by NH828 & AC10. I am allowed to take two 23 kg bags and I want to know how much I will be charged for my one extra 23 kg bag.
Thank you.
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.
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, I’m leaving the United States and flying to Tokyo. Are there any restrictions for my checked bags? Can I bring lotion, vitamins, makeup and perfume in my checked bag. Not my carry on.
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.
For a passenger traveling from Tokyo to Singapore, is the cost of excess baggage US$60 for any excess between 23kg – 32kg?
Thank you.
Hi Patricia – that’s what ANA shows on their website to be correct, yes. Remember, if you exceed both weight AND size, you’ll be charged the sum of both fees.
My daughter is travelling from the US to Japan on ANA. Above you say that travelers get 2 bags included in their base fare. Is this including the carry-on (i.e only one checked bag and one carry on), or can she have 2 checked bags (compliant with size and weight each) plus the carry-on? Thanks!
Hi Gary, the carry-on allowance would be in addition to the 2 checked bags.
I heard a rumor that some carriers do not allow smart backpacks (that have smartphone chargers attached to the backpack) as carry on baggage or even as check-in baggage. What’s your policy?
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,
Just want to confirm, from Osaka to Singapore, with 2 checked-in baggage at 23KG each. A total of 46KG will be allowed for each passage right? I will need not pay for any additional cost right?
Please advise.
Thank you
Hi Jessica,
Yes, that’s correct. ANA permits Economy passengers to bring 2 checked bags weighing up to 23kg each within their free allowance.
Thanks
Catherine
Hello,
I would like to know how many baggage we can bring to the flight NH378
from Nakashibetsu to Tokyo?
My booking code is xxxxxx.
Also – when will I get the tickets? When doing check-in?
Thank you
Tal
Hi Tal,
For a domestic flight, passengers flying economy are permitted to bring 20kg of checked luggage and passengers flying premium class can bring 40kg. A single item may not exceed total linear dimensions of 203 cm.
Please be aware that we are not ANA – we are UpgradedPoints.com so we can’t comment on when you will receive your tickets. Please contact the airline for this information. I have removed your booking reference for your privacy.
I am going to SGN Vietnam, 7/1/19. I want to check in one additional bag (two are free) – how much for the third 50 pounds? Or 70pounds? Thank you.
Hi Lequyen – which fare type did you purchase and where are you flying from?
Hello,
I am traveling from Houston Texas to Manila. I have 2 check-in luggage and 1 hand carry and 1 pc. sporting { fiberglass diving fins }. The diving fins are 8 x 38 inch or 20 x 95 cm and 3kg in weight. What is the procedure to check in? And in case 1 luggage exceeds 23 kg, my understanding is that I will pay $60.
Thank you and best regards
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 $60.
Hello,
I’m still confused and have some other information to ask. My flight is on July 8, 2019. My 1st luggage is already 29.94 kg. and the 2nd is 21.65kg. I’m bringing my medicine with me because I’m a diabetic and using insulin. Is it possible to put my V-GO disposable insulin device and my insulin that needs ice, in my hand carry bag? Can I hand carry my diving fins that measure 8 x 38 inch or 20 x 95 cm and 3.0kg together with my hand carry luggage that has 6.5kg + 3.0 kg the diving fins a total of 9.5 kg? In my understanding, I will pay 60$ for the excess. is it correct? Need asap reply.
thanks and best regards,
Arceli Arcilla
Hi Arceli, since we are not ANA, we are not comfortable speaking to the specific regulations for your medical equipment and medications. Additionally, since the rest of your question is very specific, and again – we are not ANA – we suggest you call their customer service line directly to inquire with them directly. Sorry to not be of more assistance.
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.
Hi Chablis,
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.
Hello,
Thanks for the information.
I will be travelling from KUL to Japan in December. However, I still confuse with the measurement of luggage size. Is it the height including handle even though the handle can stretch out and draw back?
Thanks in advance!
Sincerely,
Matthew
Hi Matthew,
The maximum measurement includes wheels and handles, when the handle is retracted in its stored position.
Hi. I bought some honey and they packed it nicely in a carton. But that will mean I will have 3 pieces of luggage to check-in. All 3 pieces are under 23kg each and in total, they do not weigh more than 46 kg.
I am flying from Tokyo to Singapore in a few days.
Is that okay or will I incur fees?
Thank you.
Hi Cherie,
You may have to pay up to $200 in order to check the 3rd piece since it is over the 2 you are allowed.
Thanks for reading!
Hi,
Regarding to the max linear dimensions of 158cm, does it include the wheels and handle?
Thanks,
Mian
Hi Mian,
Yes, the wheels and handle should be included in the measurements.
Thanks for reading!
Hi! I will travel Singapore to Tokyo normal economy class.. and I heard that for baggage is times ×2 of 23kg per person.. so per person is 46 kg in total? Is it true? Cause I saw different info saying is for premium economy class..
Hi Julaiha,
The economy allowance for international routes is 2 x 23 kg bags so a combined total of 46 kg.
We are planning to travel from Houston to Perth via Tokyo. We are allowed 2 baggage of 23Kg each in economy. Can we carry an extra checked bag? What will the cost per extra baggage be?
Also, if we want to make a stopover of 3/4 days how will that work? Will the baggage go directly to Perth or will they take them out in Tokyo for our stopover period?
Your assistance will be helpful in planning our trip
Hi Neeraj,
For this route, ANA would usually charge $200 to bring an extra checked bag. As far as stopovers go, if you’re planning to stopover in Tokyo for 3 to 4 days, and your tickets state that, your luggage will be given back to you in Tokyo.
Thanks for reading!
Hello
I have a flight from MNL to NRT on ANA. I am in economy class. My check-in baggage is 22kg but 164cm total linear size, about 2 inches more than the maximum 62 inches. Will I be subject to excess baggage size? Hoping not. Thanks in advance for the reply.
Hi Gema,
You may be subject to the excess baggage size if they decide to measure the luggage. But since it is very close you might be fine!
Thanks for reading!
I have a baggage allowance on Ana together with United.
Traveling to the United States I took one luggage and traveling back I would like to take another.
In total it’s two luggages but I’m wondering if I will encounter any problems taking the other one back with me now since I came over with one.
Hi James,
Excess luggage is charged per one way route so you will be able to purchase an extra bag at the airport for your 2nd piece.
Hello Cath,
I got mixed up information about luggage allowance.
For International Flight from KUL-NRT, the allowance is 23kg for each, 2 pieces in total, right?
(23kg + 23kg)
I can see this page has revised content on 7th Jan 2020 so I cannot confirm with the answer you already gave to previous user.
Thank you!
Hi Nadia,
That is correct. You should be permitted to bring 2 pieces weighing no more than 23 kgs each.
Thanks for reading!
Hi. Flying from DC to Tokyo to Nagoya. What’s the weight limit for carry on luggage and personal item for both flights? Does weight limit change between international and national flights? I thought I remembered the carry on weight limit was 25 pounds? Thank you.

Hi! I’ll be flying with ANA for a domestic route (HND – KIX) and want to confirm things regarding check-in baggage. Is the maximum 20 kg free baggage allowance applied to total baggage? If I bring 2 suitcases (weighing 20 kg and 25 kg each), I will be charged ¥6,000 (¥5,000 for Each item exceeding checked baggage allowance + ¥1,000 for Overweight 23-32 kg). Is that correct? Please correct me if I’m wrong.
Hi Hans,
Yes, that is correct. Your 20 kgs in free baggage is applied to the total. If you bring extra bags that push you over the 20 kgs allowed, or if you have one bag that’s overweight, you will be charged extra.
Thanks for reading!
Hi, I will be traveling from Singapore to Toronto through Tokyo. (Singapore to Tokyo is ANA and the later is with Air Canada). I have 2 free checked in bags and a carry-on. However, I am planning to buy an additional/excess baggage, in addition to an overweight baggage. Is this allowed? How much will it cost me?
Hi Ivy,
Did you purchase both flights on 1 ticket with ANA?
I have a flight from ORD to HKG via NRT on July 1. I have an iMac desktop computer. Could I take the computer as carry-on or as checked-in luggage? Is it safe to transport it as a checked-in luggage? Thanks.
Hi Robert,
Are you planning to transport it inside of luggage? If so, yes it should be safe and there should be no issues with bringing it as long as it adheres to the size requirements.
Hi im flying from New Jersey > Stop over Narita > then Manila on July 12. Can I carry 1 personal bag and 1 carry on?

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.
Is the size limit including the wheels?
Hi Alina,
The size limit should not include wheels. Thanks for reading!
I will be travelling from U.S to Manila, Philippines. How much will I pay for extra baggage instead of 2 free baggage I will bring 3.
Hi Norma,
An extra bag for this route should cost $200.
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 have 2 extra bags. I just want to know how much per piece is an extra bag from Narita to Manila?
Hi Arnold,
The excess baggage fee that route should be $100 per bag.
