A codeshare flight refers to a flight operated with a partner airline's aircraft and crew under an ANA (NH) flight number. If a codeshare flight or one operated by another airline is included in the itinerary, the baggage rules of the other airline may apply.
On codeshare flights, rules may be different for free baggage allowances, excess baggage charges, carry-on baggage, restricted baggage, and so on. The free baggage allowance written on the flight ticket will generally apply.
The decision on which airline's baggage rules will apply is made in compliance with:
IATA regulations as outlined in the IATA Baggage Resolution 302 section of this page and
U.S./Canadian law.
Please check the additional free baggage allowance available when traveling on flights operated by Star Alliance member airlines or Star Alliance Connecting Partners.

If your flight ticket states that your point of departure, point of arrival, or final destination is in the U.S. (including U.S. territories) or Canada, it is decided whose baggage provisions (free baggage allowance and charges) are applied based on U.S. and Canadian Law. The baggage provisions of that airline will then apply to your flight ticket's entire itinerary.
