ANA All Nippon Airways cabin bag dimensions and bag size

The maximum ANA All Nippon Airways cabin bag size is 21.7 x 15.7 x 9.8 inches, which works out to 55 x 40 x 25 cm. These measurements include wheels, handles, and any external pockets. Gate sizers on ANA All Nippon Airways match the published limits closely, so a bag marketed as "22 inch" can fail if its wheels push the total past 21.7 inches. Always measure your bag packed, not empty.

ANA All Nippon Airways cabin bag weight limit

ANA All Nippon Airways limits carry-on bags to 10 kg (22 lb). Most domestic check-in counters do not weigh carry-ons, but gate agents can pull bags that look heavy. If your bag is over the limit, expect to be asked to check it, sometimes at a higher gate-check fee.

Does ANA All Nippon Airways charge for cabin bag bags?

No. ANA All Nippon Airways includes a free carry-on bag plus a free personal item on most fares. This applies across standard economy fares.

ANA All Nippon Airways vs Japan Airlines carry-on

ANA and JAL are nearly identical on international carry-on: 1 bag at 55x40x25 cm plus a personal item, with a combined 10 kg cap. Both Japanese majors beat Singapore and Cathay by 3 kg on total carry-on weight, which matters for camera gear and electronics. The 10 kg is combined across both items on both carriers, so neither lets you sneak a heavy laptop bag past the scale. If you fly domestic Japan on a smaller aircraft, both ANA and JAL drop size limits, so the tie holds. Pick by alliance: ANA if you collect Star, JAL if you collect Oneworld.
