Checked baggage
Learn about size and weight restrictions for baggage checked at airport counters, and applicable notes.
Free checked baggage allowance
Up to 20kg is free of charge for each passenger.
(Up to 45kg is free of charge for First Class passengers.)
- No limit to the number of bags.

If your baggage exceeds the free allowance, we will check your baggage with excess baggage charges.

For trips with domestic connections to flights operated by non-JAL Group carriers - including Fuji Dream Airlines, Amakusa Airlines, ANA, Oriental Air Bridge, Solaseed Air, and SKYMARK - we will check your baggage to your final destination as long as certain conditions are met.
If your domestic flight is included in an international flight ticket, baggage rules of international routes apply.
