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.
ANA Carry-On Allowance
1 personal item: FREE
1 standard carry-on bag: FREE
Size Restrictions
- Personal: undisclosed
- Standard: 22 x 16 x 10 inches (55 x 40 x 25 cm), no more than 22 pounds (10 kg)
Lap Infant Carry-On Policy: Strollers can be brought onboard if they adhere to the carry-on size allowance. If a stroller is brought onboard then this would count towards the passenger’s carry-on allowance.
Stroller Check Policy:
- Strollers will be checked at gate free of charge. However, if checking the stroller at the ticket counter is desired, ANA’s baby strollers are also available to borrow from the counter until the boarding gate.
- Lap infants are permitted 1 piece of checked luggage at the same weight allowance as the accompanying adult.
ANA Checked Baggage Allowance
For Domestic Routes
All checked bags must adhere to max linear dimensions of 81.9 inches (208 cm). Economy passengers have a weight allowance of 44 pounds (20 kg) and premium class passengers have a weight allowance of 88 pounds (40 kg).
There are no restrictions on the number of pieces you can bring, provided the combined weight does not exceed the permitted allowance.
For International Route Sectors
All checked bags must adhere to a max weight of 50 pounds (23 kg) for Economy and Premium Economy; 70 pounds (32 kg) for Business and First Class fares, and all checked bags must adhere to max linear dimensions of 62 inches (158 cm).

Hot Tip: ANA states your free baggage allowance should be clearly printed on your e-Ticket/Receipt, which can be found on the reservation details page. This ANA link is helpful in showing you where to find this information.
