Hainan Airlines Baggage and Carry-on

What is the carry-on allowance?

The carry-on allowance for Hainan Airlines’ flights varies depending on the type of flight. There are different carry-on allowances for domestic flights, as well as for international ones. Flights between China and the USA, respectively between China and other international destinations have their own well established carry-on allowances.

Certain items can be carried in the passenger cabin besides the usual carry-on allowance, such as: items necessary for special passengers (crutches, wheelchairs, etc.), baby items for infant passengers (baby food, baby carrier), an umbrella, an overcoat, a bag / box containing duty free items, a book, newspaper or magazine for reading during the flight, a handbag, a laptop.

What is the free checked baggage allowance?

Once again, the route and travel class are the main criteria for calculating the free baggage allowance, which is set by the Weight Concept or Piece Concept:

Excess Baggage Fees

The excess baggage charges vary depending on the route and the type of flight:

• Domestic flights – excess baggage charge set at 1,5% of the highest one-way fare in Economy Class per additional kilogram.
• International flights – excess baggage fees are set per piece and per each exceeded limit (number, weight, and size). For checked baggage exceeding more than one limit, all baggage fees that apply will be accumulated, except for Canadian routes, where only the highest of excess, overweight and oversized charges will be collected (instead of cumulating the fees).

Every piece of checked in baggage should not weigh more than 32 kg (70 lbs), and should measure (L+W+H) at most 203 cm (80 in). If these values are exceeded, you must contact Hainan Airlines for prior approval of carriage.
