The luggage regulations
when taking domestic flights in China are:
1) For the check-in luggage:
| Cabin Class |
Maximum Total Weight |
Maximum number of items |
| First Class (F) |
40 kilograms (88 pounds) |
Two pieces |
| Business Class (C) |
30 kilograms (66 pounds) |
One piece |
| Economy Class (Y) |
20 kilograms (44 pounds) |
One piece |
Each piece of checked luggage should not exceed 50 kilograms in weight
(110 pounds) and 40*60*100 centimeters (16*24*39 inches) in size.
If your luggage is over the
limitation, you will need to pay for the excess weight, and some of the
airports in China are quite strict with this.
Tip for this: If you are traveling together in group more than 1 people,
you can use your allowance together, for example, if you have 35kg, your
friend have only 5kg, it will be fine as long as you two check in together.
This method also applies to 3, 4, 5 or even more people within one group,
as long as you are checking in at the same time over the airport counter.
2) For the carry-on luggage, total weight of carry-on baggage for each
passenger may not exceed 5kg (11 pounds). First class passengers may
carry up to 2 pieces. All other passengers may carry on only one piece.
The size may not exceed 20x40x55cm. Carry- on baggage in excess of the
limit is subject to an excess baggage fee and must be carried as checked
baggage.
Note:
1) Articles which cannot be taken as baggage: flammable, explosive, corrosive,
poisonous, radioactive, polymerizable and magnetized materials, and arms,
sharp or lethal weapons as well.
2) Articles which cannot be packed in the checked baggage : important
documents, classified materials, diplomatic mail bags, negotiable securities,
currencies, money orders, valuables, vulnerable perishables and articles
and other articles needed in the special custody of somebody. The carrier

3) Articles which should be put in check-in baggage: knife, scissors
and bottled or tinned alcohol/ wine.
4) The checked baggage should be packed perfectly with a lock, tied up
solidly and be able to withstand pressure to a reasonable extent. Carriers
may refuse to accept for carriage if the baggage packing does not meet
the requirements.
5) The carrier will be liable to compensate for the loss of or damage
to the checked baggage due to the carrier's fault. The norm of compensation
shall not exceed RMB 50 yuan per kg. If the value of the baggage is less
than RMB 50 yuan per kg, the amount of compensation shall be paid according
to its actual value of the loss.
6) A passenger may declare the value of his baggage if the value of his
checked baggage exceeds RMB 50 yuan per kg. Baggage declared value can
not exceed the value of the current baggage. The maximum baggage declared
value is RMB 8,000 yuan.
