Free Baggage
General Information
- Baggage refers to items that passengers must carry to wear or use for convenience and comfort during their journey, including checked and unchecked baggage. If you carry more than the free baggage allowance, you may be required to pay relevant baggage fees.
- In order to prevent injury to baggage handlers and issues at some airports, baggage over 32kg (70lbs) must be repacked before it can be accepted as checked baggage. The weight limit restriction refers to a single item and will not affect the baggage allowance or excess baggage fee of your trip.
- You need to contact EVA Air Reservation office 48 hours prior to your departure if you meet the following criteria:
- You are carrying more than five pieces of checked baggage that exceed your baggage and prepaid excess baggage allowance (if any).
- The item cannot be repacked, and weighs more than 32kg (70lbs) and less than or equal to 45kg (100lbs)
