Hunnu Air Baggage Policy: Allowance, Fees & Rules 2026 

Hunnu Air gives economy passengers one free checked bag (23kg international, 15kg domestic) and business class two bags on international routes (32kg each). Carry-on must fit within 55cm x 40cm x 25cm on Embraer 190 aircraft or 45cm x 53cm x 25cm on Embraer 195 aircraft. Excess baggage fees vary by destination and start at 8,000₮ per kilogram domestically.

Hunnu Air connects Ulaanbaatar to destinations across Mongolia, China, and Kazakhstan, making it a key carrier for travelers exploring Central Asia. But baggage rules differ significantly between domestic and international routes, and between economy and business class, catching many passengers off guard at check-in.

What Is Hunnu Air’s Baggage Allowance?

Hunnu Air’s free baggage allowance depends on cabin class and route type. Economy passengers get one checked bag; business class passengers get up to two on international flights. Weight limits range from 15kg to 32kg depending on the specific combination of class and route.

Notice the gap between international and domestic economy limits  23kg versus 15kg. A traveler flying Ulaanbaatar to Beijing can pack 8kg more than someone flying Ulaanbaatar to a domestic destination like Moron. This distinction is easy to miss when booking connecting itineraries that mix both route types, so always check the allowance for each individual segment rather than assuming one limit applies across your whole trip.

What Is Hunnu Air’s Baggage Policy for International Flights?

On international routes, Hunnu Air business class passengers can check two bags up to 32kg each, while economy passengers get one bag up to 23kg. Excess baggage fees apply per destination, with Almaty, Beijing, and Erenhot each carrying different pricing tiers in both Mongolian tögrög and local currency.

International routes currently served include Almaty (Kazakhstan), Beijing and Erenhot (China). Because Hunnu Air prices excess baggage in the destination’s local currency when flying from Ulaanbaatar, and in Mongolian tögrög when flying toward Ulaanbaatar, the fee you pay depends on your direction of travel, not just your route.

What Is Hunnu Air’s Baggage Policy for Economy Class?

Economy class passengers on Hunnu Air receive one free checked bag: 23kg on international routes and 15kg on domestic routes. Infants traveling in economy get a separate 10kg allowance. Anything beyond this single-piece limit is charged as excess baggage, regardless of whether the extra weight comes from a second bag or an overweight single bag.

This is where many travelers get caught out. Unlike full-service carriers that sometimes allow a second economy bag for a flat fee, Hunnu Air treats any additional piece as excess baggage from the first kilogram  there’s no “free” buffer for a second bag, only a discounted first-piece rate compared to subsequent pieces (see the fee table below).

What Is Hunnu Air’s Baggage Policy for Carry-On Luggage?

Hunnu Air’s carry-on size limit depends on the aircraft type. On an Embraer 190, cabin baggage must not exceed 55cm x 40cm x 25cm (roughly 21.7″ x 15.7″ x 9.8″). On an Embraer 195, the limit is 45cm x 53cm x 25cm (about 17.7″ x 20.9″ x 9.8″). Personal items like a camera or handbag are allowed in addition to this limit.

Since Hunnu Air operates both Embraer 190 and Embraer 195 aircraft on different routes, the same suitcase that fits comfortably on one flight could exceed the limit on another. If you’re unsure which aircraft is assigned to your route, size your carry-on to the smaller Embraer 195 width (45cm) to avoid gate-side surprises.

What’s restricted in carry-on baggage?

• Knives, sharp objects, and sporting equipment like golf clubs, arrows, or baseball bats (must go in checked baggage)
• Liquids, gels, and pastes over 100ml per container on international flights
• Items confiscated at security are not compensated by Hunnu Air

What Is Hunnu Air’s Extra Baggage Fee?

Hunnu Air’s extra baggage fee depends on destination, piece number, and whether you’re flying from or to Ulaanbaatar (UB). Domestic excess baggage is a flat 8,000₮ per kilogram. International excess fees are tiered by destination and rise for each additional piece, overweight bag, or oversized item.

International excess baggage fees:

Domestic excess baggage: 8,000₮ per kilogram over the free allowance.

Cost breakdown example: Say an economy passenger flying from Ulaanbaatar to Almaty checks two bags  their allowance covers the first at 23kg, but the second bag is entirely “extra.” That second piece costs 300,000₮ flat, regardless of its weight, unless it also exceeds 30kg or 203cm, which would trigger additional oversized or overweight charges on top. A domestic passenger who packs 20kg instead of the 15kg economy limit, meanwhile, pays for 5 extra kilograms at 8,000₮ each  a more predictable 40,000₮ charge.

What Can’t You Pack in Checked Baggage?

Hunnu Air prohibits cash, jewelry, personal computers, and digital cameras in checked baggage, and won’t cover damage to fragile items like musical instruments, glass containers, watches, or cameras. These items should stay in your carry-on or be declared with additional insurance, since Hunnu Air’s standard liability won’t reimburse their loss.

Hunnu Air also won’t cover damage or loss related to:

• Oversized or over-packed baggage
• Old or poor-quality baggage
• Protruding parts, such as detachable wheels
• Minor cosmetic damage like scratches, scuffs, or dents

What Are Hunnu Air’s Liability Limits for Lost or Damaged Baggage?

Hunnu Air’s standard liability is capped at 20 USD per kilogram for international journeys and 8,000₮ per kilogram for domestic journeys, unless you declare a higher value in advance and pay an additional charge. This means a checked bag weighing 20kg on an international flight is covered for a maximum of $400 by default.

Filing a claim:

• Damage: Submit written notice to Hunnu Air immediately upon discovery, and no later than 7 days after receiving your baggage
• Delay: Submit written notice within 21 days of the date your baggage was delivered

Because these deadlines are strict and calculated from the delivery date (not the discovery date, in the case of delay), inspect checked baggage at the airport whenever possible rather than waiting until you’re home.

What Is Hunnu Air’s Check-In Policy?

Hunnu Air requires passengers to arrive at the airport at least 2 hours before departure. Passengers with connecting or return flights staying more than 24 hours at a stopover must reconfirm their reservation 24 hours in advance, or risk automatic cancellation of their seat.

Pre-flight checklist:

• Arrive at the airport 2 hours before departure
• Reconfirm connecting or return flights 24 hours ahead if your layover exceeds 24 hours
• Review your baggage allowance for each flight segment before packing
• Confirm travel documents (passport, visa, vaccination certificates) meet destination requirements
• Complete online check-in where available
• Allow at least 6 hours for transit connections, given potential delays at customs and security

Passengers who arrive late, without required documents, or who don’t claim their reserved seat in time are subject to a service charge under Hunnu Air’s regulations.
