How many carry-on bags are allowed on Japan Airlines?

Can I bring 2 bags for hand carry?

Two bags, right? Ugh, that 7kg limit is killer. Two bags are allowed. Okay, cool. Hope it doesn’t change.

My small backpack and tote bag should be fine! Dimensions: 20x20x35cm. Fits under the seat, they say...

Ugh, what if the plane is tiny? I flew on a small one last year – cramped like sardines! Wait, did I even take a plane last year? Lol.

Seat size changes... each plane is different! Seriously? Space varies? Just great.

My purple tote will definitely fit; its small. It MUST! I'm bringing my lucky socks.

What happens if it doesn't fit? Do they make me check it? That is a nightmare! I don't want to pay extra fees!

How strict is Air Japan with carry-on?

Okay, so Air Japan carry-on, right? My flight last month, July 2024, from Narita to Honolulu. Man, that was a nightmare. My backpack? Perfect dimensions, I measured it three times. I swear! Under 115cm, no problem. But the jerk at the gate, he got all huffy. Said it looked bigger. He was a real…character.

The whole thing was a total waste of time. I missed my connecting flight. My friend, Sarah, she's a frequent flyer, told me they're sticklers. Sticklers! That's the word. They really are. They checked my bag, three sides, and the dimensions. They even used a tape measure; seriously. The weight was fine.

It was a 55 x 40 x 25 cm. My camera bag was stuffed, but it was within the limit. There were lots of stressed passengers. I learned my lesson. Next time, I'm bringing only a tiny, tiny bag. They wouldn't even bat an eye. This was super frustrating.

• Strict enforcement: They are strict about carry-on size. Don't even think about pushing it.
• Gate check: Be prepared for gate checking if your bag is slightly over. Seriously.
• Additional fees: Expect hefty fees if it's too big, or too heavy.
• My Experience: July 2024, Narita to Honolulu. Total disaster.

Can I carry 2 bags in luggage?

Airline baggage rules are surprisingly nuanced! You can generally check up to three bags on domestic flights.

Here's the usual breakdown:

• Three checked bags, zero carry-ons.
• Two checked bags, one carry-on. This seems most common.
• One checked bag, two carry-ons.
• Zero checked bags, one personal item.

Now, the tricky bit: Size and weight!

• Checked bags shouldn't tip the scales at over 70 pounds each.
• Dimensions max out around 62 linear inches (length + width + height).
• My grandpa always struggled with this.
• He used to say, “Rules, rules, rules; just let me bring my fishing gear!”

Each airline sets its rules, so double-check with your carrier. Better safe than sorry and lighter in the pocket, you know?

Oh, I love fishing too.

Does 7kg carry-on include handbag?

Ugh, Jetstar's 7kg limit. So annoying. Handbag? Yeah, it's included, stupidly. Total weight, right? Seven kilos, everything. My usual tote? Too heavy. Need a smaller one. Grrr.

Packing is a nightmare. Seriously. I always overpack. Last time, I had to gate-check my stuff. So embarrassing! This time, it's gotta be perfect.

Scale time. I'm gonna weigh EVERYTHING. My makeup bag alone is probably a kilo. Insane. Seven kilos isn't much. Shoes? One pair max. Jacket? Maybe a light one. It's frustrating. Don't wanna pay extra. Never.

Jetstar's rules suck. Seriously. I need a new, lightweight handbag. What a hassle. Maybe a backpack? No, too bulky. This is going to be a stressful day. The purse I'm planning on taking weighs 0.5 kg already. This is already too much.

• Lightweight handbag – MUST BUY.
• Weigh everything. Seriously. No kidding.
• 7kg is not much.
• Packing cubes. Helpful? Maybe.
• No unnecessary stuff. Clothes only. Makeup minimal.

My flight is on the 27th of October. I hope I can manage it. I hate airports. Especially crowded ones. 7kg is so little. I'm going on a week-long trip!

How much luggage is allowed on Japan Airlines?

Two bags...23 kilos each.

• For most of us. Economy. Two bags, yeah. I remember Mom struggling, though, always more than that. Always.

Is it enough?

• Feels like never. I bring too much stuff. Like my anxieties.

Business gets more, right? Three bags, heavier.

• First Class, three. Must be nice. Another world.

And no bag bigger than 203cm.

• That's...big. I think. Still, those measurements stress me out.

Why do I carry so much anyway?

• Like, what am I running from? sigh

Can two passengers combine baggage allowance?

Okay, so, last summer, July 2024, I was flying to Mallorca with my sister, Marta, from Stansted. Total chaos at the Ryanair check-in, you know? We were totally trying to combine our baggage allowance because, well, I had, like, only shoes and bikinis (essentials!), and she had ALL the suncream and books. Typical Marta.

We were both on the same booking, same PNR - that much I knew. I thought, easy peasy. WRONG!

The lady at the desk gave me the side-eye and asked for proof we were related. Like, seriously? We look identical! Marta pulled out a photo of us as kids - hilarious but not helpful.

She eventually accepted a screengrab of my mom's Facebook post wishing us a good trip, and tagged both of us. I swear, social media saves the day! And, yeah, our hotel booking that had both our names.

• Key Takeaway: Check-in agent discretion matters. Some are strict, some are… less so.
• PNR is crucial: If you're not on the same booking, forget about it.
• Proof of family is a pain. Seriously, bring everything - birth certificates, marriage licenses, your grandma’s DNA test. Okay, maybe not the DNA test.

It was such a stressful start to the holiday. Next time, I’m paying for extra luggage. Ugh! Or just packing lighter. Naaah.
