Interline Baggage Policy

According to IATA Resolution 302, a step-by-step process determines which carrier’s rules apply for an interline journey, where, for each checked portion:

  • If the published baggage provisions among all participating carriers are the same; these provisions will apply.
  • Where one or more published baggage provisions differ between participating carriers, apply any common provisions and where provisions differ, the published baggage provisions of the “Most Significant Carrier” (MSC) apply. If this is a code-share flight, apply the provision of the marketing carrier unless that carrier publishes a rule stipulating that it will be the operating carrier.
  • If the MSC does not publish its provisions, apply the rule of the Check-in carrier.
  • If the Check-in carrier does not publish its provisions, apply the Operating carriers’ provisions sector-by-sector.
  • According to the regulations of the U.S. Department of Transportation, when the departure or destination of a passenger's ticket itinerary is within the United States, the first carrier on the ticket determines its free baggage allowance and related charges (including code-share flights). For example, if a passenger’s itinerary is Houston-Los Angeles-Taipei-Los Angeles-Houston, the first segment takes a United Airlines flight, and the latter segment takes an EVA Air flight, the whole journey must follow the United Airlines baggage policy, including the return journey.
  • The Canadian Transport Agency also has similar regulations for the departure or destination of passenger ticket itineraries that are located in Canada. You can check our interline partner’s website, or contact EVA Air ticketing offices to check the relevant checked baggage regulations.
