What personal item can you bring on Jin Air?

Alongside the cabin bag you can keep a laptop, a briefcase, or a handbag or cosmetic bag with you, as listed in Article 28 of the domestic conditions. Jin Air gives no size for these items, so pick something that slides under the seat. Mobility aids such as a folding wheelchair, crutches or braces are also allowed on board free.

What is Jin Air's hand luggage weight limit?

The limit is 10 kg (22 lb) for the one cabin bag, written into the domestic conditions of carriage. The international conditions give only the 115 cm size, but Jin Air applies the same 10 kg at the gate on international flights. Staff can weigh bags at check-in, and an overweight bag is moved to the hold and charged as excess.

What do Jin Air's fare types include for baggage?

ESTIMATE

Economy is sold at Special, Discount and Normal fare levels, and the free checked allowance follows the fare and the route. On Korean domestic flights economy gets 15 kg and JINI BIZ gets 30 kg. Most international economy fares include about 15 kg, the cheapest promotional fares can include none, and flights to Guam, Saipan and Australia count pieces instead of kilos.

What are Jin Air's checked bag size and weight limits?

ESTIMATE

Each checked piece should stay within 32 kg and 203 cm in total length, width and height. Anything heavier or bigger needs approval before you fly or has to go as cargo. Jin Air can refuse a bag whose weight, size or contents make it unsuitable, and laptops, cash, jewelry and other valuables are not accepted in checked luggage.

How much are Jin Air's excess baggage fees?

ESTIMATE

On domestic routes each kilo over the allowance costs KRW 2,000 when paid in Korea, and 0.5 kg or more rounds up to a full kilo. International excess is charged per kilo at a rate set for each route, and buying prepaid baggage online before departure costs less than paying at the airport. A bulky item can also fly on its own purchased seat, up to 73 kg.

Can you fly with a pet on Jin Air?

ESTIMATE

Yes. Small dogs, cats and birds can travel in the cabin in a closed container, and international trips need Jin Air's agreement in advance plus the health and entry papers. The pet and container are charged as excess baggage on their total weight, so KRW 2,000 per kilo at home. Cabin pets are capped at about 7 kg with the carrier. Service animals fly free.

OPTION CHARGE LIMIT
In cabin Excess rate on pet + carrier weight About 7 kg, carrier about 115 cm
In the hold Excess rate About 32 kg with kennel, by request
Service animals Free Outside the allowance

How does Jin Air handle sports equipment and strollers?

Sports gear such as a golf bag counts toward your free checked allowance first, and any excess is charged under Jin Air's special-item rules. For children, one folding stroller, carry basket or car seat per infant travels free as a cabin item or checked bag, and children on a paid fare also get one stroller or car seat on top of their allowance.

SPORTS EQUIPMENT Within allowance, excess at special-item rate
STROLLER OR CAR SEAT One per child, free
FOLDING WHEELCHAIR Free in the cabin

Do Jin Air's baggage rules apply on Air Busan and Air Seoul flights?

NOT PUBLISHED

Not yet. Air Busan's and Air Seoul's English sites carried no notice of a combined airline with Jin Air on October 3, 2026, and Jin Air's own conditions of carriage make no mention of one. Until an official notice appears, book against the rules of the airline operating your flight. Air Busan and Air Seoul set their own cabin bag and checked limits.
