Special Items
Sports Equipment
Included in standard baggage allowance. Overweight/oversize fees apply if limits exceeded. Bicycles require deflated tires and pedals removed/turned. Golf bags must be in rigid cases.
Musical Instruments
Small instruments (under 125cm/49in, 7kg/15lbs) allowed as carry-on. Large instruments require purchased extra seat (Cabin Baggage) or must be checked in hard cases.
International Rules
Long-haul flights (US/Canada/Europe/Oceania) and short-haul flights (within Asia) generally follow the same piece concept: 2 bags for most Economy fares, 1 bag for Discount Economy. Weight limits are 23 kg for Economy/Premium Economy and 32 kg for Business.
Tips to Avoid Fees
1. Prepay for excess baggage online to save up to 10% compared to airport prices. 2. Join Infinity MileageLands or Star Alliance Gold for an extra free checked bag. 3. Weigh your carry-on carefully, as the 7 kg (15 lbs) limit is strictly enforced. 4. Avoid Discount Economy (A) if you need to check two bags.
Unique Nuances
EVA Air has a very strict 7 kg (15 lbs) weight limit for carry-on bags, which is frequently checked. Overweight checked bags between 23-32 kg are uniquely charged exactly 0.5 times the standard excess piece rate. Bags over 32 kg require prior approval and are charged 3 times the piece rate.
