Excess baggage
Does the price depend on when you pay?
ANA's fee tables are a single price for each type of excess, set by the place you pay and the route. They are paid at the airport counter. Passengers who must pay excess baggage use the check-in counter, not the self-service baggage drop. Costs can be paid with miles on international flights. Different fees can apply to trips subject to US or Canadian law.

1. She has packed two Check in suitcases one weighing 24kgs and the other 26kgs. Will she be charged separately for these two suitcases for its overweight, or in total US$ 60?
2. Can the cabin baggage + laptop bag be overweight I. e. more than 10kgs or, ANA is strict about it's weight and dimension? If allowed excess weight in cabin luggage, how much is the cost?
A quick response will be appreciated.
Yes, it can be accepted. But, it would be good if you reconfirm it with the airline officials at airport.
My ticket has 2 checked baggage of 23kg each and it's written to carry 2 carry on baggage of 10kg each but I read on this website that only one 10 kg Baggagae is allowed .I'm literally confused...
Cabin baggage allowance is 1 bag of 10 kg per passenger only. You can take one personal item in addition to it.
I'm traveling from Mumbai to Vancouver with a transit & airport transfer in Japan. My ticket hs 2 x 23kgs + 10kgs of hand luggage. Had two questions:
1. Can i add moe weight/extra check in bag of approx 10kgs and what would be the rates? I can't see them online, also the call centre is not responding
2. Is 10kg total for a cabin bag and a laptop bag or is the laptop bag seperate from 10kgs.
Thanks :)
If you add 10 kgs, total weight becomes 33 kg which is more than 32 kg, therefore, USD 200 will apply. However, if you take below 32 kg, then USD 60 apply. Yes, laptop can be carried as a personal item.
No. If you club, the weight of one check in bag will increase, which will entail excess baggage weight charges. So, it is better not to do it. Even after paying for it, you can not do more than 32 kg in one check in bag. Therefore, second bag has to be taken in all cases. We suggest you keep it at 2 bags of 23 kg each.
PLease mention route of travel and cabin class.
PLease ask your query in english language.
Yes, it can be paid at airport, but charges can be higher.
thank you in advance.
You are not allowed to have more than 32 kg weight of checkin baggage. Secondly, on your route, piece based baggage system applies. So, it is good to take 2 bag of up to 23 kg for free. If you increase weight in any of these beyond 23 kg, there will be charges.
I am planing to bring 1 bag with 20 kilos and 1 surfboard bag 20 kilos and 190cm length - is this subject to extra fee?
Up to 292 cm of size, the normal restriction will be waived off for the surfboard. So, it is okay to carry one check in bag of 20 kg an one surfboard of 20 kg of 190cm length. There will not be excess charges.
It shall be allowed since it is within the permissible free allowance by weight and size. Thanks for your blessing.
No, golf clubs are not allowed in cabin.
How much do I have to pay in total if I have a third checked in luggage at 23 kg?
How many kg the maximum I can fill in the 3rd luggage at a minimum cost?
How much extra I have to pay if my dimension is 50wide+30tight+80tall?
Thanks
USD 200 for additional one check in bag of up to 23 kg weight. Linear dimensions are 160 cm in your case. We suggest you keep this at 158 cm, by somehow reducing 2 cm.
Thanks
2 bags of 23 kg each is the free check in baggage allowance. Cabin allowance is of up to 10 kg. Size of check in bag shall not be more than 158 cm linear dimensions (L+B+H) and size of cabin bag shall not be more than 115 cm linear dimensions.
Please note that we are not the ANA airline, but an independent website. We do not think there is additional allowance for students at present. Please confirm with the airline local office
Thank you very much.

As per ANA rules, the size shall not exceed 292 cm. IF it does, it will not be allowed in check in and has to be sent through cargo. Now, since yours is only 3 cm more, we are not sure whether airline will be relaxable with this or not. Further, it might not allow taking 3 surfboards. We suggest you speak to the airline local office for better confirmation.
Size wise it will be okay to take it. But, charge will depend on whether this ski bag is being taken in addition to free check in baggage allowance or not. If not, then charge has to be paid for additional bag.
If I am travelling from Tokyo to Singapore via ANA - just checking, I am alone and can I check 2 luggages and one luggage weighs 23 kg each. kindly advice. thank you
Yes, Tokyo to Singapore there is premium economy class cabin and it allows you to take 2 check in bags of 23 kg each in check in baggage
Or if 1 luggage bag weighing 24.5Kg, then how does this applies?
Thank you very much.
It is 2 bags of max 23 kg each in checkin which is free allowance. If weight of any one is more than 23 kg but less than 32 kg, there are extra charges to be paid for it.
It is each way.
It would be good if you consult the airline local office for this. We do not think this is allowed for any other person than active or veteran military personnel.
May I know what is the power bank capacity for ANA flight (international) per person?
Single spare battery of max 300Wh, or two spare batteries max 160Wh are allowed. They must be carried as cabin baggage.
Further details can be checked in this post: http://baggage-allowance.info/blog/iata-regulations-on-battery-powered-devices-in-airplanes/
Yes, these can be done. However, these shall not be of irregular shape.
I booked a flight from Bangkok via Tokyo to Calgary with ANA.
That should allow me to take 2 x 23 kg checked baggage.
I am thinking of taking one 23kg bag and one filled up to 32 kgs and pay the additional 60 USD.
I live in Vientiane and plan to fly to Bangkok with Lao Airlines.
Can my baggage be checked through directly from Vientiane to Calgary?
If so, how and to whom would I have to pay the baggage surcharge?
Thanks for your help and looking forward to your reply.
To know whether the baggage can be checked through to the final destination, you need to contact the first airline you would be flying with- Laos Airline. It depends on a number of factors which only the airline help desk will be able to tell. You can also request for the same during check in at airport and know whether they allow it or not.
Thank you,
Amanda
You can pay both in advance of travel by using its pre-paid extra baggage service or at the airport.
Advance payment can be done online on its website and is available for flights operated under ANA flight number and have one piece of luggage exceeding free allowance.
If this is a walking aid, it will be allowed free.
This is something which the airline check in desk would be able to tell.
