Japan Airlines hand luggage allowance

Japan Airlines hand luggage rules

• International flights: a total of two items may be carried on board - one personal belonging (such as a shopping bag or handbag) and one additional bag.
• The additional bag must be within W 55 cm x H 40 cm x D 25 cm, with length + width + height within 115 cm (45 in).
• The total weight of both items must not exceed 10 kg (22 lb). This is a combined limit across the two pieces.
• JAL publishes the same international carry-on allowance for all cabin classes on this page; no separate Economy, Premium Economy, Business or First figures are given.
• Personal belongings such as handbags and shoulder bags must fit under the seat in front. JAL publishes no dimensions for the personal belonging.
• JAL states: total dimensions include handles, casters, and wheels.
• Oversized or overweight baggage, or baggage that cannot be appropriately stowed, may need to be checked into the cargo compartment at the boarding gate.
• Passengers seated in an emergency exit row may not place carry-on baggage at their feet or on their lap.
• JAL publishes cm as the primary figure with inches in brackets (55 x 40 x 25 cm = 22 x 16 x 10 in; 115 cm = 45 in).
• Infant and duty free cabin allowances are not stated on the carry-on baggage page.

Liquids

All liquids on international flights must be in containers with a capacity no greater than 100 ml. If travelling with more than one container, all containers must be placed in a transparent, re-sealable plastic bag with a maximum capacity not exceeding one litre - one bag per person.

Remember that the liquids rule that applies to you is set by the airport you fly from, not the airline. Check your departure airport before you pack.
