Each passenger is permitted to bring up to two items into the cabin: one carry-on bag and one personal item, with a total combined weight not exceeding 10 kg.
In addition, personal items must be stowed under the seat in front of you.

If you carry on board any baggage exceeding the carry-on baggage allowance, it may cause delay or cancellation of your flight. For a comfortable and safe journey, please check in baggage exceeding the permitted size for carry-on baggage before passing through security.

Baggage size checkers (gauges) are available at the airport. Any baggage exceeding the carry-on size limits must be checked at the counter before passing through the security checkpoint.

How to Stow Your Baggage in the Cabin

*

Personal items must be stowed under the seat in front of you.
*

Carry-on baggage is limited to items that you can stow by yourself either in the overhead compartments or under the seat in front of you.
*

Please be aware that bringing on board baggage that you cannot stow by yourself has led to injuries and disputes between passengers.
*

When stowing baggage in the shared overhead compartments, please ensure it is secured so that it does not slide or fall out when the door is opened.
*

When stowing baggage under the seat in front of you, please ensure it is pushed completely underneath. Improperly stowed baggage may slide out during sudden impacts, potentially causing injury to yourself or other passengers.
*

Leaving baggage in aisles, emergency exits, or any location that could obstruct evacuation during an emergency is prohibited by law.
*

Baggage cannot be placed at your feet if there is no seat in front of you (e.g., seats in front of cabin monitors or bulkheads).
*

If you wish to bring large items that cannot fit in the overhead compartments or under the seat in front of you (e.g., paintings or musical instruments), you will need to purchase an additional seat. For details, please contact ANA.
*
The following situations may occur if baggage is not stowed properly.
- Cause Injury
  Your baggage may fly out of your hands in the event of a sudden impact, etc., and injure another passenger.
- Hinder Emergency Evacuation
  Baggage may scatter across the aisles and the areas near the emergency exits, and could thereby hinder an emergency evacuation.
- Prevent You from Bracing for Impact
  Having baggage on your lap will prevent you from bracing for impact in the event of an emergency.

The overhead compartments have a limited amount of space. We therefore kindly request that you also stow items under the seat in front. You are also welcome to help yourself to an anti-dirt cover, which can be found near the boarding gate, so that you can prevent your items from getting dirty when putting them under the seat in front. If you would like to use a cover, please place it over your baggage before entering the cabin so that you can help us to alleviate congestion on board. We thank you in advance for your cooperation.
