China Eastern Airlines Baggage Policy

Allowance:

Economy and Business Class: One carry-on bag and one personal item (e.g., small handbag, laptop bag, small backpack). Maximum weight: 10 kg (22 lbs) total.
First Class: Two carry-on bags and one personal item, each bag up to 10 kg (22 lbs), total 20 kg (44 lbs).
Infants (0–23 months): One carry-on bag up to 10 kg (22 lbs) for essentials, plus a collapsible lightweight stroller or car seat, subject to space and fitting in the baggage rack.

Additional Notes:

Oversized or overweight carry-on bags may be checked into the cargo hold with excess fees (e.g., $5–$15 for carry-on, depending on route).
Sharp items (e.g., knives, scissors, tweezers) are prohibited in carry-on and must be checked; if found, they may be confiscated without airline liability.
Smart bags with lithium batteries must have batteries removed and carried separately per safety regulations.
On smaller aircraft, carry-on bags may be stowed in the cargo hold due to limited cabin space, retrievable upon arrival.
Valuable or fragile items (e.g., electronics, cameras) should be in carry-on, with passengers notifying cabin crew for careful handling.

Size and Weight Limitations:

Maximum dimensions: 158 cm (62 inches, L+W+H, including wheels and handles). Oversized bags up to 203 cm (80 inches) may be accepted with fees ($200) and prior approval.
Maximum weight: 32 kg (70 lbs) per bag (45 kg / 100 lbs for US routes with approval). Bags over 32 kg (or 45 kg for US) are not accepted and must be shipped as cargo; contact China Eastern 48 hours in advance.
Bags must be securely packed, locked, and able to withstand pressure during handling.

Codeshare/Interline Flights:

The Most Significant Carrier’s (MSC) rules apply per IATA Resolution 302, typically the airline operating the longest leg. For Air Canada as the first carrier, allowances are two pieces (32 kg each) for Business and one piece (23 kg) for Economy for the entire journey.
Baggage is checked through to the final destination for tickets with transfers in Taiwan or other hubs.

Allowance: Items like golf bags, bicycles, surfboards, and musical instruments count toward the free baggage allowance if within size (158 cm / 62 inches) and weight (23–32 kg) limits.
Non-Accepted Items: Bags over 50 kg (110 lbs) or 100 x 60 x 40 cm (39 x 24 x 16 inches), hoverboards, and certain hazardous items are prohibited.
Mobility Aids: Wheelchairs, canes, crutches, and collapsible wheelchairs (max 33 x 91 x 106 cm / 13 x 36 x 42 inches) are carried free with advance notification. Only one wheelchair per flight.
Medical Equipment: Portable oxygen concentrators (POCs) and CPAP machines are allowed as carry-on but cannot be used during taxi, takeoff, or landing. Personal oxygen cylinders are prohibited; airline-provided cylinders are available with prior approval.

Pets are not permitted in the cabin or cargo hold, except for service dogs, which travel free with advance approval and documentation.

Measure bags (carry-on: 56 x 45 x 25 cm international, 55 x 40 x 20 cm domestic, ascended System: 10 kg; checked: 158 cm, 23–32 kg) and weigh them at home.
Use the “Wild Your Baggage” prepaid service online for discounts, at least 6 hours before departure.
Pack essentials (medications, valuables, documents) in carry-on to avoid loss.
For codeshare flights, confirm the MSC’s rules, as they may differ (e.g., Air Canada’s rules for certain routes).
Label bags with contact details to prevent loss.
Arrive early (check-in 90 minutes before departure) to ensure baggage processing, as check-in closes 60 minutes prior.

Report issues at the Baggage Service Counter immediately to obtain a Property Irregularity Report (PIR). Report damage within 7 days, delays within 21 days.
Domestic/regional flights: First bag delivered within 15 minutes of cabin door opening in 95% of cases; full delivery within 45 minutes.
Liability is limited per international conventions; no responsibility for normal wear, valuables, or TSA-related damage.
