Eva Air Baggage Fees and Policy [2022 Update]

EVA Air has a fairly generous baggage allowance, but don’t get caught out on overweight checked baggage — this is charged by piece for flights to/from the U.S., so the opportunity isn’t there to pay for just a few extra pounds.

I’m traveling to the Philippines, what’s the weight allowance for excess baggage?

  Hi Lilian, in order to help you with your question, you’d have to give us some additional information like where you’re flying from, what fare type you purchased, etc. We don’t have enough details to answer your question as it stands.

    I’m flying out from Seattle on an economy class ticket.
    The reason why I am asking is I might have additional/excess baggage. Does it need to be 50 lbs too?
    
    Reply
    - Erin Miller May 9, 2019
      
      Hi again Lilian, EVA Air states that Economy travelers on routes to/from the U.S. are slotted into their “piece concept” for transpacific routes. This means you should be allowed two checked bags free of charge (as stated above).
      
      When it comes to excess fees (you can find EVA Air’s policies here), if you are asking about bringing a third bag, the pricing on extra pieces of luggage is determined by zones.
      
      Again, as you can see in the table above, on routes from the U.S. West coast to/from the Philippines each extra piece of luggage should cost $115. The limit for this bag will also be 50lbs before incurring an additional excess charge for the baggage to be overweight (no bags over 70lb/32kg will be accepted).
      
      If you are inquiring about one/both of your original 2 complimentary checked bags being overweight, the charge should be $32 per bag that is over 50lbs, keeping in mind no bag is allowed to exceed 70lbs/32kg.

    I’m booked on Economy flight from Vienna to Phil’s on Eva Air with 30kg free check in baggage allowance. I’m planning to purchase prepaid baggage allowance. Upon inquiry a 20kg one piece baggage cost USD1,050. I wonder why it was this much.

      Hi Yolanda,
      
      Did you enquire directly with the airline? According to Eva Air’s excess baggage charges a 1 x 23 kg bag from the east coast U.S. to Europe would cost $180.

      Hello,
      
      For this route, excess luggage should be charged at a rate of $8 per kilogram, so you should expect to pay $96.

    Hi Phuong,
    
    Is the Air Canada portion of the flight from Toronto to Chicago only, with Eva Air operating the other 2 flights? Did you book directly with Eva Air with the entire flight on one booking? Finally, what cabin are you traveling in?

Just to clarify, I will be traveling from Canada to Philippines in Economy class with 2 bags. What if 1 bag will exceed weight of 26 kgs. How much I will pay for excess weight per baggage? Please let me know. Thanks.

Reply
- Catherine Luther May 13, 2019
  
  Hi Shasha,
  
  Firstly, be aware that the weight allowance for economy class is actually 23kg per bag not 26kg. As flights to/from Canada work on the piece allowance, you are not able to purchase extra weight. You would need to purchase an additional bag and the cost depends on whether you’re flying from east or west coast Canada. East coast Canada would be USD130 per bag and west coast Canada would be USD115.

I would like to know the check in bag allowance for international flight, Chiang Mai, Thailand, to Vienna, Austria. Not sure if it is free or has an additional fee? It says…carry on free…check in 30 kg…but is the 30 kg free? Also part of the flight is operated by Bangkok Air, do they have the same rules? Thanks in advance for your time and kind help 🙂

Reply
- Catherine Luther May 13, 2019
  
  Hi Cyrus,
  
  If your ticket states 30kg of checked baggage then this would be your free allowance. Your carry-on allowance would be in addition to your checked luggage allowance. If your flight was booked on one ticket, then the luggage allowance would apply for the most significant carrier (Eva Air).
  
  Hope this helps!

Hi,
We are leaving from Heathrow to Bangkok. Our ticket said 30kg each so does this mean we have to take 3 cases maximum weight per case 23kg to a maximum of 60kg for 2 of us? And what is our hand luggage entitlement for each person?

Reply
- Catherine Luther May 20, 2019
  
  Hi Hassadee,
  
  You would have 30kg of free luggage per passenger and the heaviest a bag can be with Eva Air is 32kg. So you could take 1 x 30kg bag each or 2 x 15kg bags each. There is no limit to the number of bags you are permitted to distribute your weight allowance across. This page on Eva Air’s website suggests that a single bag should not exceed 23kg but this is actually not stated on their baggage allowance page as a compulsory requirement for weight concept allowances.
  
  In terms of pooling your weight between the two of you, Eva Air does not cover this within their baggage terms so you would be best to enquire directly with the airline. I’m sure you would be fine, but the last thing you want is an excess baggage fee as Eva says one of you has brought over your free allowance.
  
  Hand luggage allowance is 1 standard carry-on bag (9” x 14” x 22″ 15kg) and one personal item (16” x 12” x 4”) per economy passenger.
  
  Hope this helps!

Hi, I’ll be leaving from the Philippines to Seattle… I’d like to know if it’s possible if I could get over 23kg two of my check-in bags and I don’t know how much will I need to pay at the airport in PH?

Reply
- Erin Miller May 25, 2019
  
  Hi Marie, this depends on which fare type you have purchased. If you have purchased a standard economy ticket, each bag weighing over 23kg should cost you an extra USD32/CAD41 or other equivalent local currency. Hope this helps!

HI Erin,

I’m considering taking a one way trip from Incheon (Seoul) to Paris in economy class on Eva.

I am not really sure what the allowance is. I’m hoping to take 2 bags at 23kgs. each and am wondering how much the second one would cost? There is a slightly confusing table above and the different zones involved and the rest of it.

I would be immensely appreciative if you could shed any light on this.

Thank so much.

Kind regards,

Murdo

  Hi Murdo, we’re actually in the process of getting this article updated as you’re correct – it lacks some important information!
  
  I went ahead and looked on Eva Air’s website on baggage allowance and it appears your route would utilize their “weight concept”. If you’ve purchased an Economy fare, it looks like your weight allowance will depend on which type of economy fare you purchased – plus (35kg total), standard (30kg total), basic (30kg total), or discount (20kg total).
  
  Since we are not Eva Air, for 100% confidence in your allowance, I would suggest calling their customer service and inquiring with them directly!

Hi, I’m Le,
I’m traveling from SF to Vietnam. My Fare type/cabin is Economy. I see on EVA air that it will only charge $32 extra for overweight (less than 70 pounds) baggage. So, is it going to charge me only $32? One of my friends came across the same situation and end up pay more than $100, so I was kind of confused. One of my baggage is 65 pounds so I wonder If I have to pay more than $32?
Thank you

- Catherine Luther June 9, 2019
  
  Hi Le,
  
  As you’re flying from the United States, your checked baggage allowance is based on the piece concept, with excess baggage charged for an entire piece of additional luggage, not charged per kilogram. If you’re traveling in economy with a piece that exceeds 50 lbs, then you will be charged $140 USD from San Francisco to Vietnam.

I am travelling economy Seattle to Taipei and see the fee for an extra bag. I am willing to pay the extra fee but I need to pay cash as I am leaving the US and do not have a credit or debit card. If I have exactly $115 is that ok?

  Hi Julia,
  
  When it comes to paying cash for excess baggage, every airline and departure airport has their own rules, so we advise you contact Eva Air directly to enquire about the policy for Seattle airport.

        Hi
        I booked an economy fright from Chicago to Bangkok and bought a separate ticket from Bangkok to Vientiane (Laos). I’ll buy extra luggage and it indicates that is zone 2. My question is, are they going to check through my luggage with the fee 140 or do I still have to pay extra for Thai Airways?

        Hi Vivi,
        
        If you are flying on 2 separate airlines, then the excess charges will most definitely apply for each airline. If you have booked two separate flights with Thai Airways, then this will depend on whether the airline checks your luggage through to your final destination. They are not obligated to do this if you have booked the flights separately. Give Thai Airways a call to check their policy on this.

Because I see two different answers I’ll ask mine:
Traveling from LAX to Vietnam on Economy: What is the cost of my checked bag if it is over 50lbs but under 70lbs? Is it $32 or $140? And would a third bag be $140?

Thank you!

  Hi Samantha, if you booked Basic, Standard, or Economy Plus (i.e. anything except ‘discount’) then you should be allowed 2 bags up to 50lbs free of charge flying from the U.S. to Vietnam since this applies to their “Piece Concept”. (You may have been looking at Piece & Weight which is why you were confused with two answers.)
  
  For each bag that is over the 50lb limit, you should be charged $32 per leg of the flight (i.e. this would end up being double if you are flying round trip).
  
  If you want to check a third bag, it should cost you $140.
  
  *According to EVA Air’s website, it appears you can get a 10% discount on these fees if you pre-pay online prior to your flight. Hope this helps!
  
  (As a side note: We say “should” here because we are not EVA Air and as such, cannot 100% confirm these are the prices you will pay – we simply do the research on their website in the same way any other individual would. If you want an absolute, verified answer, we suggest calling EVA Air’s customer service and inquiring with them directly.)

Please tell me can I take a flat TV as one of my luggage it is 67 inches in dimension and how much I have to pay if I will take it as an extra piece of luggage (not the 2 pieces allowed). I have booked a premium economy on EVA from Los Angeles to Manila.
Thank you

  Hi Elizabeth, unfortunately, EVA Air doesn’t list anything about their policies on TVs as checked baggage on their website. Additionally, since we ourselves are not EVA Air (we simply find our information from what they list online), we cannot comment on their specific policy on this. We suggest you call their customer service line to inquire with them directly.
  
  If you are allowed to check this item and you plan to check it in addition to your free baggage allowance, it appears LA would be Zone 5 and the Philippines is Zone 1 so you should be charged $115 for this extra baggage. Additionally, since it is over their max linear dimensions of 62″, you’ll likely also be subject to their ‘oversized baggage’ fee which is $100. So, you’re likely looking at ~$215 to take the TV if it’s in fact allowed.
  
  Note, if you pre-pay on their website, you may be able to get a 10% discount on this fee.

I’m flying from Osaka to Toronto on a standard economy ticket, but I will probably have one overweight luggage, so will I be charged the price of one excess baggage + additional fee ($200CAD+41) or just the $41CAD? Because I was about to purchase prepaid excess baggage but the fine print said it did not apply to oversized or overweight baggage.

  Hi Michelle,
  
  If you mean that 1 of the 2 pieces in your free checked allowance will be overweight, then you would be charged USD 32/CAD 41. If you mean you are bringing a third bag that will be overweight, then the fee would be USD 155/CAD 200 + USD 32/CAD 41.

  Although we cannot confirm 100% as we’re not Eva Air, this is how we have interpreted the information presented by the airline – $32 for each bag that weighs over 50lbs and less than 70lbs. However, as this states an ‘Additional fee’ you may want to give Eva Air a call to clarify or log in to your booking online to check pre-paid luggage fees.

  Hi Tu Anh,
  
  Eva Air allows passengers to bring a standard carry-on and a personal item. The maximum dimensions for the personal item is 4” x 12” x 16” and the airline may use baggage sizers at the airport. These are to ensure the item can fit under the seat, so although your box does not exceed the total linear dimensions, be prepared to check the item if it doesn’t fit in the bag sizer.

      Unfortunately I cannot tell you whether your box will fit inside the bag sizer. It’s up to you whether you bring a box or a bag with your personal items, but if you want to guarantee that they will be allowed in the cabin then you will need to ensure that they do not exceed 10 cm x 30 cm x 40 cm / 4” x 12” x 16”.

  This route with Eva Air uses the weight concept and you are allocated 35 kg of weight that you can distribute across multiple bags. So you could have 2 bags of 17.5 kg each.

  Hi Lucia,
  
  That route would work on the weight concept, so additional weight is charged by the kilogram rather than by piece. For your route, Eva Air charges $30 per kilogram, so 30 kg of additional weight would cost you $900. As we’re not Eva Air, we can’t confirm this for you 100%, but this is the information we have sourced from the airline’s website.

I am flying from SLC to Manilla Philippines. I leave SLC on Alaska airlines, go to Seattle where I catch EVA Air to Taipei Airport and then Taipei to Manilla. Currently I have 1 purse, 1 carry on and I want to check two bags. My carry on weighs 25 lbs, but i am reading it cannot be more that 15. My two check in bags I can keep under 50 lbs, but i believe they are bigger than 62 inches all around. Plus I read somewhere that it said no more than 107 for two bags. Does that mean one bag at 62 inches and the second one should not be bigger than 45? I am a bit confused on the luggage, what I can take, how many bags, how much weight, how big in size and can I go over and pay extra if I want, or will they turn me away at the airport. Also do you know if I check my luggage in at SLC Alaska Airways will it go all the way to Manilla, or do I have to pick it up in Seattle and recheck it for the EVA flight?

  Hi,
  
  If you booked the flight on 1 ticket, then it is likely that Alaska Airlines will check your luggage through to your final destination, but to be sure you should contact the airline directly. For checked luggage, Eva Air does have a size restriction of 62 inches and if a single piece exceeds this (62-80 inches) then you will be charged £100 per oversized piece.
  
  The carry-on allowance is airline specific so you will need to adhere to the minimum restrictions. This is 7kg for Eva Air with a size restriction of 9 x 14 x 22 in. The personal item must not exceed 16 x 12 x 4. If your carry-on exceeds the 7kg weight, then you will have to check the items and will incur excess baggage charges.

  Eva Air’s baggage allowance depends on the route. What are your departure and destination points?

My sister is traveling to Cambodia. She has 1 luggage and 1 box 22 inches by 22 inches with 22 kilos on both. Is the box size acceptable?

  Hi Ly Chhay,
  
  With Eva Air, the sum of the 3 dimensions of each piece may not exceed 62 inches (158 cm). If your box is 22 x 22 x 22 inches then it would exceed the maximum dimensions permitted. If you’re traveling in economy, then a piece can weigh up to 23 kg.

I booked my mother and father in law, travelling to Philippines from Calgary Canada, using EVA Air flight 9 Vancouver to Taipei and flight 271 Taipei to Philippines. I just want to ask what is the free baggage allowance for both of them?

  Hi Joel,
  
  Providing the two flights were booked on the same ticket, your mother and father in law should be permitted 2 x 50 pound (23 kg) bags each for the full journey.

I will travel from SIN to TPE to SFO, and SFO to PDX.. all booked on one flight with EVA. I believe the two free checked bags are included in the SFO to PDX portion operated by United. But I want to ask Upgraded Points to confirm?

  Hi Bobber,
  
  Yes, your two checked bags should be free for your entire itinerary since it was all booked with EVA.

I am flying in economy class from Vietnam to Chicago. If one of my bags weighs 32 kg and the other one 23kg. How much will it cost?

  Hi Mai,
  
  Since your bag that weighs 32 kgs is overweight, you should need to pay a $32 fee. Thanks for reading!

I am flying from Manila to Taipei. I wanted to buy 20 kgs. As per the Kgs calculation, it comes $144. Can I buy a piece instead of buying for 20 Kgs? Please guide me.

  Hi Stanislaus,
  
  Since both Manila and Taipei are categorized as weight regions, you are not able to just purchase a piece. The fee will be charged based on the weight of the bag.

I am flying from Houston, Texas to Phnom Penh, Cambodia on an economy class ticket. Can I bring a 70” tv as a checked bag? What is the maximum size they allow on a plane? How much is the charge for a bag that is oversized and overweight?

  Hi Bon,
  
  Unfortunately, EVA Air doesn’t list anything about their policies on TVs as checked baggage on their website. Additionally, since we ourselves are not EVA Air (we simply find our information from what they list online), we cannot comment on their specific policy on this. We suggest you call their customer service line to inquire with them directly.

I am flying from Chicago to the Philippines. Aside from the 2 baggage allowance for economy I will be checking in 1 box with 23kgs and it is oversize (but below 80 inches). How much will I be paying for the extra and oversize baggage?

  Hi Kate,
  
  For this route, an extra bag should cost $130, plus an oversized fee of $100, for a total of $230.

I will be traveling from JFK to the Philippines with EVA air in economy class. I know I can have 2 checked bags. My question is this, can my bike be my 2nd checked bag? The bike is only 15 lbs., but the size is bigger than the allowed baggage size. If it can’t be my second baggage, how much will it cost me?

  Hi Mary Ann,
  
  You should be allowed to bring your bike as your second bag but you will likely be charged an oversized baggage fee of $100.

I will be flying from the Philippines to Toronto (with a stopover in Taiwan), and I just want to confirm if I should follow the piece concept? Thank you

Greetings,

My wife and I are flying to the Philippines next week. Since we’re both a Star Alliance Gold Member, which we accrued from flying ASIANA, are there any benefits we should take into consideration? Are we entitled to 70 lbs for one of our check-in luggage? And the 2nd check-in luggage remains to be at 50 lbs? Thank you for looking at this matter.

  Hi Nelson,
  
  Star Alliance Gold members receive quite a handful of benefits. You can view them all on our guide to Star Alliance status. As far as the luggage is concerned, if the flight is classified by piece then you should be eligible for 1 extra piece of luggage. If it is a weight-based route then you should be eligible for an additional 44 pounds (20 kg.) of baggage weight.
