  • ICAO dangerous goods baseline

    International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)

    ICAO Technical Instructions set the worldwide baseline that national regulators adopt: no spare lithium batteries in checked baggage, no flammable gases or liquids, no strike-anywhere matches, and e-cigarettes carried in the cabin only and never charged in flight.

    Carry-on:
    E-cigarettes and vapes: cabin only, charging prohibited
    Checked:
    Spare batteries, flammable liquids and gases prohibited
    Watt-hour ceiling:
    160 Wh
    Medication:
    Medical oxygen and battery-powered medical devices require advance airline arrangement.

    Where your departure country publishes no separate rule, carriers apply this ICAO baseline.

FAQ

ANA baggage questions

What is ANA's carry-on size limit?
ANA's published cabin bag limit is 21.7 × 15.7 × 9.8 in (55.1 × 39.9 × 24.9 cm).
Does ANA weigh carry-on bags?
Yes — the published cabin bag weight limit is 22 lb (10 kg), and gate staff can weigh bags at any time.
What size personal item does ANA allow?
The under-seat personal item allowance is 15.7 × 11.8 × 9.8 in (39.9 × 30 × 24.9 cm).
What is ANA's checked bag size and weight limit?
Checked bags are limited to 62 in total (L+W+D) / 157.5 cm, with a 50.7 lb weight limit. Bags over the limit are charged overweight or oversize fees.
How do I know if my bag will fit on ANA?
Measure your bag with the wheels and handles included, then run the measurements through the Travel Review HQ bag size checker. It compares your bag against ANA's published limits and, for connecting itineraries, against the strictest carrier on your route.
Are ANA's baggage rules the same as airport security rules?
No. ANA sets the size, weight and fee allowance. Liquids, power banks and prohibited items are set by the security authority in your departure country (Japan for most ANA departures), and both sets of rules apply to the same bag.
