China Airlines to Upgrade Baggage Allowance to a Piece-Based System

(12 July 2022, 12:20 +07) China Airlines will upgrade its baggage allowance to a piece-based system for all tickets purchased from 2 August 2022.

Economy Class travelers will be able to check-in two pieces of baggage weighing up to 23kg each, while Premium Economy passengers will be able to check-in two pieces of baggage weighing up to 28kg each. Business Class will change to two pieces of checked baggage weighing up to 32kg each.

Dynasty members including Paragon, Emerald and Gold card-holders will also be eligible for additional free checked baggage allowance using the piece concept on all routes.

China Airlines is upgrading its baggage allowance to a piece-based system

The piece-based system already applies on routes to the U.S. and Canada, meaning that it is the flights from and to Asia, Europe and Oceania which will switch from a weight to piece-based system, effective 2 August.

China Airlines has already started the phased introduction of the baggage service upgrade plan. For flights from and to Europe, Australia and New Zealand with tickets issued before 1 August (inclusive), their free checked luggage allowance has been increased by 10kg. Depending on the actual ticket class booked, Economy Class travelers can enjoy up to 46kg of baggage allowance.

Discounted rates on excess check-in baggage based on the weight system is also available. For flights from and to Asia the excess baggage charge has been adjusted to become USD 8 per kilogram. For flights from and to Europe and Oceania it has been changed to USD 10 per kilogram.

China Airlines continues to upgrade its in-flight software and hardware offerings. In addition to launching online meal pre-orders for Premium Business, Business Class and Premium Economy Class travelers, an exclusive online pre-order menu was introduced for Premium Business/Business Class on flights departing from Taiwan starting this month.
