Baggage information

The weight and the number of items that you can consign to the carrier differ by travel area.
Generally, a free baggage allowance is determined by the number of items for the U.S. route, whereas other areas are based on weight.
- If you travel to the U.S. using Asiana Airlines, you can bring with you 2 bags weighing under 23 kg (Travel Class) or 32 kg (First and Business Class) free of charge. However, if you connect to another carrier at the time of departure/arrival, an excess baggage charge may be imposed, depending on the free baggage allowance of the connecting flight’s airline. Please check the allowance before departure.
- American, United, Delta, Northwest, and Air Canada normally limits the free baggage allowance for economy class passengers to 2 items weighing under 23 kg respectively. For connecting domestic flights, this allowance may differ according to each carrier’s policy. Please check the carrier concerned before leaving.
- For smooth baggage handling, please ensure that one bag does not exceed 32 kg in weight.

Will I pay for my infant to travel internationally?
Yes, a child under 2 years old (24 months) is charged 10% of an adult fare plus taxes, even if the infant will be on the lap of another passenger for the flight.

What if my child turns 2 on the trip; will I have to buy a ticket for the return flight?
Yes, a ticket will have to be purchased for any flight on which the infant will be over 2 years old.
