Medical Devices: CPAP/POCs allowed with advance notice to ANA Disability Desk (provide manufacturer, model, battery type).

Codeshare/Partner Flights: The operating airline’s baggage rules may apply (e.g., Air Japan, Thai Airways). For ANA tickets, ANA’s rules typically apply for international checked baggage, but carry-on rules vary. Check with the booking airline or agency.
Baggage Irregularities: Report damage/loss within 7 days at the airport or via ANA’s contact center. ANA is not liable for overpacked bags, normal wear, or fragile/valuables in checked baggage.
Tips: Check your e-ticket for specific allowances (use ANA’s website or app with your PNR). Pre-pay excess baggage online for savings. For domestic flights, combine allowances with travel companions to check bags under one name.
Enforcement: ANA is strict, especially at major hubs (e.g., HND, NRT). Anecdotal reports suggest leniency for slight overages (e.g., 17 kg overweight waived with early check-in and politeness), but compliance is advised.
