Japan Airlines Baggage Allowance
Send your Luggage
Why not avoid the hassles of bringing checked baggage with you on your journey by instead sending your luggage to your destination with Send My Bag? This way you can avoid queuing at bag drop and luggage carousels and instead just sail through the airport with only a small handbag to carry. Sending your luggage is a great option for people who need more luggage than Japan Airline allows, such as those moving abroad or those going on an extended vacation.
