Included allowance first
Cabin allowance

ANA includes carry-on baggage up to 10 kg total including the personal item, with standard size limits applying.

Additional cabin item

ANA treats the personal item as part of the total 10 kg cabin allowance, so weight matters even when the bag fits physically.

Included checked allowance

ANA checked baggage is included on eligible fares, but the allowance depends on route, cabin, and domestic versus international rules. Additional bags are charged only after the free allowance is exceeded.

Where excess charges begin

The main risks are excess baggage above the free allowance, airport overweight or oversize charges, preferred-seat charges on some international Economy fares, and fare-rule-based changes or refunds.

Quick ways to avoid fees
  • Check whether the trip is domestic or international before assuming the checked-bag allowance; ANA's allowance changes by route and cabin.
  • Keep checked bags at or below 23 kg and 158 cm when possible because overweight and oversize fees begin above those thresholds.
  • Avoid bags over 32 kg because ANA does not accept them as checked baggage.
  • Use included advance seat selection where available, and check whether a preferred-seat fee applies before paying for international Economy seating.

Core fee breakdown

Start with the included allowance. The fee risk begins when the itinerary, cabin, weight, or piece limit is exceeded.

Carry-on rules

When the issue is whether a bag will physically pass at the gate, compare the published rule with sizer enforcement reality.
