Baggage Policy
Elite members can use their privilege and get a higher checked baggage allowance. Policy varies depending on the class of travel, route, and fare type. Here is a general guide to the baggage allowance:
Carry-on/Cabin Baggage Policy
China Airlines allows passengers to bring one piece of carry-on baggage on board and one personal item, such as a purse or laptop bag. However, the carry-on baggage should not exceed 56 cm x 36 cm x 23 cm (22 in x 14 in x 9 in) and should weigh no more than 7 kg (15 lbs).
NOTE: Bulkhead seats lack under-seat storage, so all carry-on and cabin luggage must be stored in the overhead compartment during takeoff and landing.
Checked Baggage
China Airlines' checked baggage allowance varies depending on the class of travel, route, and fare type. Generally, passengers in Economy Class can contain one or two pieces of baggage weighing up to 23 kg (50 lbs). Passengers in Premium Economy Class and Business Class can generally check two or three pieces of luggage weighing up to 32 kg (70 lbs). However, the baggage allowance is different when applying fares; for more information on this, please visit www.china-airlines.com/us/en/fly/prepare-for-the-fly/baggage/baggage-rules
