Special Items
Sports Equipment
Bicycles, surfboards, golf bags, and skis can be checked as part of free allowance. Oversize fee is waived for these items if between 158-292 cm, provided they are within the free allowance count.
Musical Instruments
Small instruments can be carried on if within 115 cm total dimensions. Large instruments can be checked within free allowance; oversize fee waived if 158-203 cm, but excess fees apply if over 203 cm or over allowance. Extra seat can be purchased for cabin transport.
International Rules
International flights generally allow 2 free checked bags (23 kg) in Economy. Domestic Japan flights allow up to 20 kg total weight in Economy with no specific piece limit.
Tips to Avoid Fees
1. Weigh your carry-on bags carefully to stay under the strict 10 kg combined limit. 2. Pack sports equipment within your free checked bag count to waive oversize fees. 3. Gain ANA Mileage Club or Star Alliance Gold status for an extra free checked bag. 4. Pre-pay for extra baggage online to save time and potentially money.
Unique Nuances
ANA strictly enforces a combined 10 kg weight limit for both your carry-on and personal item together. They waive oversize fees for sports equipment up to 292 cm if it counts as your standard checked bag. Domestic flights within Japan use a total weight concept (20 kg for Economy) rather than a piece concept.
