What you should know
- Some countries may restrict items that exceed the maximum weight (32 kg or 70 lb) and/or total linear dimensions (158 cm or 62 in) for a single piece of baggage, regardless of the payment of excess baggage fees.
- When boarding a codeshare flight, the baggage policy of the partner airline may be applied according to the codeshare agreement. Please check the details in advance.
- You must never check baggage on behalf of another person, and you cannot combine the baggage allowance of your party and your baggage.
- Claim your baggage from the carousel and check the baggage tag to make sure that it is your baggage.
- Please keep your baggage Claim Tag until you have collected your baggage, as the baggage tag number (10 digits) is required to track your baggage or report delayed or damaged bags. The baggage tag number can also be found in the baggage loading notification message on the mobile app for 7 days.
