Asiana Airlines is conveniently straightforward when it comes to baggage fees. The South Korea-based airline uses a weight allowance for domestic flights with no maximum number of items permitted, and a clear-cut piece allowance for all other routes.

If you’re part of the Asiana Club, then you will receive a generous allowance of additional baggage on top of the standard amount.

        My flight is from Tokyo to Uzbekistan through Korea and my baggage allowance is 23kg. I am also wondering how much I have to pay for each extra kg because my baggage is now around 25kg (about 2 kg extra)? On the website it is written like excess weight is charged at $1.7 per kg but it is also written like excess weight from 24-28 is $40 to Japan. I would be so thankful if you can clarify my question. Thank you so much in advance!

      Hi Laurence,
      I would say that bag would be fine, especially if it’s a soft bag that you can squash slightly if asked to place in a bag sizer. The sum of L + W + H may not exceed 115 cm. The maximum weight of a carry-on is 10 kg.

Hi,
I want to bring a used 32″ TV to the Philippines. My Home Depot box dimensions will total to 63 linear inches and weight will be less than the allowed 50 lbs. Will I be subjected to an additional fee? How much? If dimensions and weight don’t exceed allowed, will there be no additional fee on TV if within my allowed 2 baggages?

  Hi Susan,
  Providing the package does not exceed Asiana Airlines’ maximum size and weight restrictions, then they should allow you to check the TV as part of your standard allowance.

  Hi Elizabeth,
  Your mother should be allowed to bring 1 checked bag that does not exceed 23 kgs or 50 lbs. If you use a Balikbayan box then it too should not be larger than 23 kgs or 50 lbs. The box also cannot exceed 158 cms in total dimensions. Keep in mind that we are not Asiana Airlines so feel free to contact them directly for more information!

  If a bag weighs 33 kg-45 kg, Asiana Airlines charges $170 (per bag). The airline also states that advance notice is required for these overweight bags so you will need to contact Asiana Airlines to inform them.

Hi! Our flight will be SFO-MNL-SFO. We are planning to bring balikbayan boxes. The boxes measures: 44.5 cm and 60 cm. width, 54cm height. We will make sure that it will not be heavier than 50 lbs.
My concern is if the balikbayan boxes will be accepted as checked in baggages. Thanks,

- Catherine Luther November 9, 2019
  Hi Rose,
  Providing your box does not exceed maximum linear dimensions of 158cm then you would be able to check the item. Those measurements are slightly over so you must be prepared to pay oversized charges if the airline does not accept the piece.

Hi, is a backpack considered as a personal item? Will they weigh my carry-on baggage and personal item together? Thank you.
Reply
- Erin Miller November 10, 2019
  Hi JR, according to the information on Asiana’s baggage fee policy on their webpage, the following are allowed:
  “You may take one of the following items into the cabin, in addition to your carry-on baggage.
  Small briefcase
  Handbook
  Laptop computer
  Book
  Small duty-free item
  Infant food to be eaten during the flight
  Staff or crutches for disabled passengers
  Guide dog for visually handicapped passengers
  Small stroller that can be folded flat”
  Most airlines will allow a small backpack as a personal item, however, the general rule is that it must be smaller than your carry-on.
  Asiana does not state whether or not these items will be weighed separately or together.
  I suggest calling Asiana’s customer service line directly to inquire with them. SOrry to not be of more help!

  Hi Marivic,
  If you booked both of your flights on 1 ticket, then you should have the checked baggage allowance of the most significant flight. But as we’re not Asiana Airlines we can’t confirm this for you 100% and you should contact the airline to confirm.

Hello,
I am flying from JFK to Tokyo, with a transfer in Seoul. I am having such a hard time finding any store with the correct carry-on requirements for Asiana carry-on, (21.6″×15.7″×7.8″). The main issue is the depth. All bags sold in stores have a depth of 8″-11″. How strict is the airline when it comes to this? If I buy a bag that is 9″ deep, will I have to pay the checked fee for exceeding limits?
Thanks,
Tracey T.

  Hi Tracey,
  We can’t comment on how strict the airline is as it can depend entirely on the gate agent on the day. There should be a little flex with the conversion from cm to inches so you should be fine with a 8″ deep bag.

Hello, I am traveling from London to Phnom Penh via Seoul on economy class. The baggage allowance is only 1 piece. So I am thinking of purchasing an additional 2 pieces. However, I can’t do it online. Do you happen to know why? When I tried clicking apply to purchase it says “You cannot pre-purchase baggage allowance for the itinerary you selected.” I noticed you have mentioned above that we cant pre-purchase. But Asiana staff told me to do online. So would like to check if you happen to know why it does not work online.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

  I cannot say for certain why Asiana is not allowing you to purchase online for your selected route. The best advice that I can offer is for you to contact them again and let them know that their website is not allowing you to complete the purchase. It might be the case that there is an IT issue that needs to be resolved.

I am traveling from Japan to the Philippines with a connecting flight to Incheon. I have 3 bags with a total weight of 44kg. The extra piece is a box of e-drum with an amplifier. Am I going to pay for the extra piece even if the total weight is just 44kg?

  Hi Albert,
  I’m assuming that your 3 bags are comprised of 1 carry-on bag and 2 checked bags? If so, yes you likely will need to pay for the extra checked bag since Asiana only allows for 1 free checked bag on non-U.S. routes.
  Safe travels!

How much to take an extra bag from Seoul to New Zealand via Sydney. Can we prebook it?

  Hi Jackie,
  For this route, the extra bag charge should be $140. Unfortunately, Asiana does not allow you to purchase extra baggage online.

I am traveling to Bangkok coach class from Los Angeles. Can I take one or two 50 pound bags? The instructions are not clear. Thanks

  Hi Marc,
  For that route, you should be able to bring 2 checked bags weighing up to 50 pounds each.
  Safe travels!

Hello, I am traveling to Manila from Incheon. I get 1 free piece of luggage weighing up to 23kgs. I also reserved another piece of luggage 23kg (it cost 99,000 won). Can I bring my electric guitar to the cabin? Or should it be checked as a 3rd bag? Or is it possible to have 1 small luggage + electric guitar with a total weight of 23kg?
Thank you.

  Hi Vira,
  How large is your guitar? Carry-on items with Asiana cannot exceed 45 inches (115 cm), with maximum dimensions of:
  L = 21.6 inches (55 cm)
  W = 15.7 inches (40 cm)
  H = 7.9 inches (20 cm)
  If your guitar exceeds these dimensions then it will need to be checked. Thanks for reading!

I am traveling from seoul to manila as a merchant marine or seafarer. I’m confused because in my ticket allowed check-in baggage is 2 pcs / 23kg. But when i get to their website site econ class is 1 piece / 23 kg.
Can you please help me with this?

  Hi Allan,
  If your ticket states that you’re entitled to 2 pieces of luggage weighing up to 23 kgs then that is what you should be able to bring. If you have any other specific questions I recommend you contact Asiana customer service directly at 1-800-227-4262.

I’m traveling between Jeju Island and Seoul this week. I want to bring my hockey bag (under 20 kgs) and a hockey stick. Are one hockey stick and one hockey bag okay?

I am traveling from Tokyo Narita to Incheon. I’m bringing one laptop bag, one carry-on baggage, and 2 checked bags of 23kg each. What luggage is free and which will I have to pay extra for?

  Hi Alejandro,
  You should only need to pay for your second checked bag, and the price should be $80.
  Safe travels!

Hi! If I travel from China (Changchun) to Incheon and my checked-in bags total dimensions including wheels and handles is 160cm, is there any chance at all that I can bring it for free? The bag is a little flexible.

  Hi Mary,
  If your bag is oversized, there are no guarantees with any airline that this will be permitted. It’s likely that it would be fine, but it can depend completely on the check-in agent on the day.

I have 2 pieces of checked luggage each weighing 23 kgs. If I only bring 1 bag, how many kgs is it allowed to be?
Reply

  Hi April,
  Each bag can only weigh up to 23 kgs. So if you only bring 1 bag the maximum it can weigh is 23 kgs. Safe travels!

Hello,
I am planning to buy an extra luggage and my flight is from Seoul to Philippines. Technically it a connecting flight coming from Germany. It states that the amount to pay is $110, is that already back and forth?

  Hi Sarena,
  If that is the price you were quoted, and the whole itinerary was booked together, then yes that should be the round-trip price.
