Eva Air Checked Baggage Fees and Policy Guide
Know Eva Air’s baggage policy for 2026 before you pack and avoid unexpected charges. Eva Air mostly uses the “Piece Concept” for checked
luggage globally. This system makes it simpler to know your free baggage allowance for international flights.
First Checked Bag
This bag is usually $0 for all passengers. It must not exceed 158 cm (62 inches) in total dimensions. The maximum weight depends on your class. For Economy and Premium Economy, the limit is 23 kg (50 lbs).
Second Checked Bag
This piece is also $0 for most tickets. If you bought a Discount or Basic Economy fare, this second bag might be your first chargeable excess bag. Always check your ticket. For Business Class, the weight limit is 32 kg (70 lbs).
Third Checked Bag
You must pay an excess baggage fee for this bag. The charge varies based on your travel zone / route. Expect fees to range from about $140 to $270 USD. Prepaid baggage online is usually cheaper.
Exceptions to Eva Air’s Checked Baggage Fee
Some travelers get extra Eva Air luggage allowance without paying extra fees. This is a key part of Eva Air luggage policy.

Checking Special Items on Eva Air: Sports Gear, Musical Instruments & Bulky Luggage
Many special items count toward your free baggage allowance, but their size and handling rules often trigger oversized or overweight baggage fees.
| Special Item Category | Eva Air Baggage Rule | Fee Note |
| Sports Equipment (Ski/Golf Bags etc.) | Can often be accepted as one checked bag | If the item exceeds the standard 158 cm size limit, oversized fees apply (charged as one excess baggage piece). |
| Musical Instruments | Small ones fit in cabin | Large instruments over 203 cm (80 inches) must be checked and may be charged as two excess pieces. Contact reservation support first. |
| Bulky/Overweight Items (Over 32 kg) | Single pieces over 32 kg are not accepted | Must be repacked into smaller bags or shipped as cargo. This protects handlers. |

Know Your Fare Type: Basic/Discount Economy may include only 1 free bag — upgrading fares may be cheaper than paying later.
