Tianjin Airlines Baggage Policy

Note: The following reflects Tianjin Airlines' baggage policy as of the latest available information. Policies may vary by route, fare type, or codeshare agreements.

Carry-On Baggage Allowance

Tianjin Airlines permits one carry-on bag and one personal item per passenger, with specific weight and size restrictions based on travel class and route.

Route	Class	Allowance	Maximum Dimensions	Maximum Weight
Domestic (China)	All Classes	1 carry-on + 1 personal item	55 x 40 x 20 cm (21.6 x 15.7 x 7.8 in)	5 kg (11 lbs)

International	Economy	1 carry-on + 1 personal item	55 x 40 x 20 cm	7 kg (15 lbs)

Personal items (e.g., briefcase, laptop bag, small backpack) must fit under the seat in front of you.
Carry-on bags must fit in overhead bins or under the seat. On flights with 50 seats or less, only one personal item is allowed due to limited overhead space.
Liquids in carry-on must be in containers of 100 ml or less, placed in a 1-liter transparent, resealable plastic bag.
Items like umbrellas, canes, or duty-free bags are permitted free of charge and do not count toward the carry-on allowance.
Size and weight limits are strictly enforced at check-in or boarding gates, with potential fees for non-compliant bags.

Interline flights with partners like Virgin Australia follow Tianjin Airlines’ free baggage allowance, but excess fees are charged separately for each airline’s segment.
Bags must be properly packed in suitcases or similar containers to ensure safe handling.
Checked baggage allowances may differ for codeshare flights; check with the ticketing agency or airline.
