Greetings of the day!

I am travelling from India to Seoul via Asiana airlines. Moreover I am a student and in my Air ticket free baggage allowance is of 2 pc, but at the bottom of the ticket it's written 1 pc for all non United States routes. Therefore, how many baggage should I supposed to carry (2 baggage of 23 kg or 1 baggage of 23 kg besides 7 kg cabin baggage). Furthermore, am I also supposed to carry only 1 litre resealable plastic bag (liquid essentials, individual weight not exceeding to 100 ml/g) in check-in baggage.
1. Answer
  It is 1 bag of 23 kg since US/Canada routing is not involved.Cabin bag of 7 kg is okay. If you have to carry liquids then these can not be more than 100ml in a bottle and all such items shall be carried in a resealable transparent bag of not more than 1 litre capacity which is to be carried in cabin, not in check-in.

I have a hockey stick bag going from Heathrow to Seoul.
Measurements are: 1meter x 28cm x 20cm the weight will be 10 kilos max.
Can this go as checked luggage free of charge?
If not, what will the cost be ?
Thank you

  Yes, it can go free of charge within permitted allowance limits. So, your hockey equipment bag+1 stick will make for 1 check in baggage. This shall not be more than 23 kg in weight. Sum of three sides in your case is 148 cm which is well below the 277 cm mark set by the airline.

I always give my luggage in Fukuoka and take it right from Dushanbe( last destination). Will be flying with economy. So how much extra luggage will cost me and should I reserve or remind when buying ticket?

My Wife and 8 year old Daughter will be flying one way home to Manila from Bangkok via Icheon. Having lived in Thailand for the past 6 years, they have aquired a few clothes. I'm trying to work out their baggage allowance for economy class. Can you confirm for me please? I think, from what I've read above, they are allowed 1 check in bag at 23 Kg each. An 10 kg for carry on. What I can't find is the price per Kg for additional weight.
1. Answer
  The rates are given in the content above. If you increase weight from 24 to 28 kg, USD 50 is chargeable, from 29 to 32 kg, it is USD 80, nd rom 35 to 45 kg USD 160 is charged. Please note that no single check in bag shall be more than 32 kg in weight, so if you take more than this weight, then another bag has to be taken along.
Alicia12 May 2019

Hi, I will be flying to Incheon from Singapore, then from gimpo to jeju with you guys as well.

I understand that the baggage is 23kg on a one piece luggage. My luggage will be 28/29inch, which might be slightly more than 158cm in terms of dimension.

May I know if I will be affected? And if so, what are the charges incurred? Any chance that it will be handled on exceptional basis since the first flight is already with Asiana.

Thanks.
1. Answer
  If you check in bag is 28 or 29 inches in L+B+H, then it does not make it 158 cm.It is less than 158cm because 158 cm=62 inches. Therefore, no issues in carrying it.

Kelly2 December 2018

Hi, I understand one person for 20kg checkin luggage. However we hv 5 persons include 3 kids, it is impossible to ask the kids to carry 20kg each. We intend to bring only 2 luggage but it has exceeded 20kg each as we need to bring 5 sets of clothes and kids necessary. Please advise
1. Answer
  The free check in baggage allowance of 20 kg is meant for the domestic routes of Asiana Airlines. If the kids are more than 2 years of age,then they are also allowed 20 kg check in baggage. Kids of less than 2 years of age are not allowed free check in baggage allowance of 20 kg.
  
  Generally, wherever the weight-based allowance is applicable, as is the case with the domestic routes of Asiana, the airline permits clubbing of the check-in bags on the condition that the weight of one bag shall not exceed 32 kg.
  
  We would request you to check with the airline local office also whether this is the policy there as well.
