Answer-first summary
Carry-on allowance

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

Personal item rules

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

Checked bag baseline

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.

Notable restrictions

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.

Bag-cost check

Price a common All Nippon Airways roundtrip before booking.

All Nippon Airways bag costs need a route, fare, or baggage-concept lookup before a useful total can be quoted.

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.

Bag-fee decision engine

Estimate the bag-fee hit before you book.

Use the current published fee rows for All Nippon Airways to test a simple scenario. If the price depends on route, fare, or purchase timing, this module will send you to the full calculator instead of pretending there is one universal fee.

No broad checked-bag estimate available.

All Nippon Airways does not publish a single broad numeric USD first-bag fee in this dataset. The price depends on route, fare, currency, purchase timing, or how the allowance is calculated.

The full calculator is the safer next step because this airline does not publish a broad numeric first checked bag fee in the current fee details.

Why no single total? This usually means the airline prices bags by route, fare family, advance purchase, airport purchase, or piece-versus-weight rules. Treat the full calculator or airline checkout as the safer next step.
Baggage comparison tool

Compare the bag bill before the fare wins.

Pick travelers, bags, route context, and bag size. The table estimates only when the stored fee data has a usable fixed amount. Route-priced airlines stay flagged for lookup instead of showing a false $0.

How to avoid paying this fee

  • 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.

Real-world scenarios

Flying with carry-on only

ANA's carry-on limit is up to 10 kg total including the personal item, so a heavy personal item can still create a cabin-bag issue.

Checking within the free allowance

Checking a 24 kg bag

Overweight treatment applies above 23 kg and up to 32 kg; bags over 32 kg are not accepted as checked baggage.

Selecting an international Economy preferred seat

Preferred seat fees may apply on some international Economy fares depending on fare brand and route.

When fees may not apply

  • ANA provides unaccompanied-minor assistance free of charge on ANA-operated flights, with age restrictions and conditions.
