What are ANA’s checked baggage allowances for international flights in 2026?

On ANA international flights, economy and premium economy passengers get up to 23 kg per bag, while business and first class allow 32 kg per bag. Each bag must stay within 158 cm (62 inches) total linear dimensions. The number of free bags depends on your class and fare.

Here’s how ANA’s international checked baggage breaks down:

*Economy allowance varies by fare rules. Some discounted economy fares include zero free checked bags, so always verify the allowance printed on your ticket.

Edge case worth noting: If your itinerary includes a codeshare flight or a leg operated by another airline, that airline’s baggage rules may apply instead. Check both carriers’ policies before you fly.

What is ANA’s baggage allowance for domestic flights in Japan?

For ANA domestic flights in Japan, Economy Class passengers can check up to 2 bags at 23 kg each, and First Class (Premium Class) passengers up to 3 bags at 32 kg each. Every bag must be within 158 cm total linear dimensions. Total weight per passenger cannot exceed 100 kg.

Terminology update: For flights departing on or after May 19, 2026, ANA renamed the domestic classes on its booking page. “Premium Class” is now “First Class (Premium Class),” and “Economy Class Seat” is now simply “Economy Class.” The services themselves haven’t changed only the labels.

What is ANA’s carry-on size and weight limit in 2026?

ANA allows each passenger one carry-on bag plus one personal item, with a combined weight of up to 10 kg. The carry-on bag must fit within 55 × 40 × 25 cm (115 cm total) on larger aircraft. Personal items must stay within 40 × 30 × 20 cm from July 1, 2026.

This is one of the biggest 2026 changes. ANA now clearly separates carry-on baggage from personal items:

Combined weight limit: 10 kg total across both items.

Key dates to remember:

• April 1, 2026: Two cabin items officially permitted one carry-on bag and one personal item.
• July 1, 2026: Personal items must stay within 40 × 30 × 20 cm and fit fully under the seat.

Smaller aircraft exception: On planes with fewer than 100 seats, your carry-on bag must shrink to 100 cm total (45 × 35 × 20 cm). Items that don’t count toward your allowance include one coat, one umbrella, and essential baby items.

What are ANA’s baggage fees and excess baggage prices in 2026?

ANA excess baggage fees depend on your route and what limit you exceed. An extra bag on a cross-region flight (like US–Japan) costs USD 200, while an overweight bag (23–32 kg) costs USD 60. Fees are charged in the currency of your departure country.

ANA divides international routes into three areas:

• Area 1: North America, South and Central America, Hawaii
• Area 2: Europe, Africa, Middle East
• Area 3: Asia (including Japan), Oceania

Extra piece fees (per bag):

Overweight and oversize fees (per bag):

Real-world cost example: Say you fly economy from Los Angeles to Tokyo with two bags one at 26 kg and one extra piece. You’d pay USD 60 for the overweight bag plus USD 200 for the additional piece, totaling USD 260 in fees. Packing that first bag down to 23 kg would cut your bill to USD 200.

Hard limits: Bags over 45 kg or exceeding 292 cm are not accepted as checked baggage. The maximum is 20 pieces per passenger.

How does ANA handle sports equipment, musical instruments, and fragile items?

ANA accepts sports equipment skis, golf bags, surfboards, bicycles, and diving gear free of charge if it fits within your class allowance. Oversized sports items up to 292 cm incur no oversize fee, an unusual perk. Musical instruments and fragile items are accepted within standard size and weight limits.

• Sports equipment: Free within your allowance. Items between 158–292 cm skip the usual oversize surcharge. Skis packed separately from poles and boots count as extra pieces.
• Musical instruments: Guitars and violins can be checked or carried on if within limits. Oversized instruments (203–292 cm) are accepted but incur excess fees. A contrabass may travel in the cabin if you buy it a seat.
• Fragile and valuable items: ANA won’t accept liability for damaged cameras, glass, jewelry, or electronics. Carry these in the cabin whenever possible.

How do you buy extra baggage on ANA Airlines?

You can prepay for one excess bag online through the ANA website after booking an international flight. The option appears on your reservation confirmation screen. Alternatively, use ANA miles to cover excess fees, or pay at the airport check-in counter on the day of travel.

Prepaying online works only if:

• Your ticket number starts with 205
• Your itinerary does not include US or Canadian cities
• You’re not on a codeshare or separately issued ticket
• You’re not traveling within Japan

Prepaid baggage is refundable if you change or cancel your flight, but these adjustments can’t be made at the airport counter handle them online or by contacting ANA directly.

Tips for staying within your ANA baggage allowance

• Weigh bags at home. A luggage scale costs less than a single overweight fee.
• Distribute weight evenly. If you’re checking two bags, balance them near 23 kg each rather than overloading one.
• Pool allowances. On domestic flights, travel companions can combine allowances and check in together.
• Watch the power bank rule. From April 24, 2026, power banks must be carried in the cabin only, limited to 2 per person at 160 Wh or less. They can’t be charged in flight.
• Prepay online. Buying that extra bag before you reach the airport saves time and avoids counter queues.
