Bagages

Some baggage is accepted to be carried into the cabin due to other limitations. Such baggage should be stored at the first row of a closed overhead bin, closet or under your seat. If unable to be placed in the above mentioned locations, it might be accepted as cabin baggage and charged for occupying a seat.

• One infant's carrying basket or fully collapsible stroller, push-chair, car seat or CARES harness. There is no limitation of volume, weight, size for infant's push chair or carrying basket. The fully collapsible stroller can be stored in a closed overhead bin or closet.
  
• Infant's food for consumption on the flight and a bag of articles for infants’ use in flight.
  
• Wheelchair/ crutches/ braces/ prosthetic device/any assistive device, which is needed by disabled Passengers.
  
• Medicine/medical equipment or supplies, including transplanted organs. For blood transportation, it’s necessary to prepare non-infectious certificate from related clinical laboratory in advance.
  
• Fragile items: For safety, unpacked items made of glass, such as screens, vases and framed pictures are not accepted in cabin. If you wish to take such items into the cabin, ensure that they are packed with carton box or plastic bags to void endangering other passenger in case of breakage.
  
• Sculptures/ urns in non-square shapes: These items can be accepted in the cabin but must be stored in a closed overhead bin or closet to avoid moving, falling and blocking an emergency exit. However, if you do not want to store such items in a closed overhead bin or closet, they can only accepted as cabin baggage and you have to pack them into a secure and strong box.

• Musical instruments: No cabin baggage can be higher than the seat back, except musical instruments. However, musical instruments cannot block the walkway of passengers or obstruct other passenger's view of emergency signs. Only aisle seats behind a partition are allowed to store the cabin baggage on seats. A cello, accepted as cabin baggage and stored up on the passenger deck, cannot block the walkway to an emergency exit; for example, window seats behind partition are not recommended. Nevertheless, a cello can be accepted in the row in front of partition only under the condition that passengers have free to access to an emergency exit. 
  
• Bulky baggage.
  

For aviation safety, especially after 911 events in the USA, all airports maintain a high security alert. Any banned items detected at a security checkpoint could be delivered late, confiscated or held by authorities. EVA Air cannot be responsible for any banned items found by security authorities. Please contact EVA Air or the airport security authority for details before traveling.

Cabin baggage

Any unchecked items occupying extra seats are charged and considered as "Cabin Baggage", such as an urn, carved statue or musical instruments.

Baggage that occupies an extra seat in the first row behind the partition or last row in front of partition, cannot weigh more than 70 kg/150 lb. per seat. When a flight is operated by a MD90, the restriction is 70kg/150lb. per seat. Passengers should sit next to their cabin baggage and comply with all safety regulations. During the flight, passengers and baggage should not change seats. For items that might endanger the aircraft, persons or property onboard the aircraft or passengers disagreeing with the handling of baggage, EVA Air is entitled to refuse cabin baggage items on-board with you.

To properly secure the cabin baggage on a seat, you are suggested to store your baggage in packages with handle(s). Cabin baggage is the item(s) that you carry with you into the aircraft cabin and are kept under your custody throughout the flight. EVA Air assists in securing the item but is not liable for any loss of or damage to this cabin baggage unless such loss or damage is caused by EVA Air's negligence.

Allow plenty of time to complete check-in and necessary security, immigration and/or customs formalities. Hours of operation for EVA Air check-in counters and the time required for pre-boarding procedures vary at different airports. At a minimum, we recommend that you book 48 hours before departure and identify yourself at the boarding gate 40 minutes before the scheduled departure time.
