Zipair lets you carry on 2 pieces weighing 7 kg combined: a main bag up to 55 x 40 x 25 cm (21.7 x 15.7 x 9.8 in) and a second piece up to 35 x 45 x 25 cm. Checked bags are paid from the first piece, at $85 each from the US mainland or ¥11,000 from Narita. Zipair carries no pets, in the cabin or the hold.
Zipair's main carry-on can measure 55 x 40 x 25 cm (21.7 x 15.7 x 9.8 in), and a second piece up to 35 x 45 x 25 cm rides along with it. Both pieces share one 7 kg (15 lb) weight limit. Every fare includes this allowance, ZIP Full-Flat and U6 children's fares too. Zipair's page doesn't say whether wheels and handles count, so measure the bag with them.
Zipair counts weight across both pieces, so a heavy laptop bag eats into the same 7 kg as your roller.
Yes, as the second of 2 carry-on pieces: it can measure up to 35 x 45 x 25 cm (13.8 x 17.7 x 9.8 in). Zipair doesn't use the phrase personal item. That second bag still counts toward the shared 7 kg limit, unlike US carriers that let a purse or backpack ride free of any weight rule.
Yes, 7 kg is a hard number at Zipair, and the airline says you can weigh baggage at the airport, with some airports excepted. If your two pieces come in heavier, you can buy an extra 8 kg for a 15 kg total. That purchase closes 24 hours before departure. On US mainland routes it costs ¥5,000 from Narita or $38 from the US.
Anything over 15 kg, or over the size or piece count, has to go in the hold as a paid checked bag.
All three fares include 7 kg of carry-on and 0 free checked bags. Zipair sells Standard, ZIP Full-Flat and U6 Standard for children 6 and under, each with a Value version on the fare table. Checked baggage, meals and seat selection are paid extras on all of them, so the lie-flat seat doesn't bring a free bag.
ZIP Full-Flat buys a flat bed, but its baggage rules match Standard exactly.
| FARE | CARRY-ON | FREE CHECKED BAGS |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | 7 kg, 2 pieces | 0 |
| ZIP Full-Flat | 7 kg, 2 pieces | 0 |
| U6 Standard | 7 kg, 2 pieces | 0 |
Each checked bag costs $85 from the US mainland or ¥11,000 from Narita on the Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Jose and Houston routes. Honolulu runs $58 or ¥7,500. Zipair charges from the first piece, per bag. Buying online avoids a ¥1,000 handling fee that the airport counter or contact center adds.
The ¥1,000 handling fee applies per checked bag payment made at the counter or by phone.
| ROUTE | FROM NARITA | TO NARITA |
|---|---|---|
| Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Jose, Houston | ¥11,000 | $85 |
| Honolulu | ¥7,500 | $58 |
| Vancouver | ¥11,000 | CAD 114 |
| Seoul | ¥4,000 | not captured |
| Taipei, Bangkok, Singapore | ¥6,000 | not captured |
| Kuala Lumpur | ¥7,000 | not captured |
A checked bag can weigh 30 kg (66 lb) and measure 203 cm (80 in) when you add length, width and height. You can check up to 5 pieces, and every one is paid. Sports equipment gets a higher 32 kg (71 lb) ceiling.
Over 30 kg, Zipair refuses the bag outright, so no overweight fee exists to pay. Zipair publishes no oversize fee for ordinary luggage either, with 203 cm as the stated maximum. Repack heavy items into a second paid bag before you reach the counter.
Two packages include one 30 kg checked bag: Value and Premium. Value bundles a seat, the bag and a meal. Premium adds 8 kg of extra carry-on and an amenity set. Flex Biz gives the 8 kg carry-on top-up without a checked bag. You can buy packages up to 48 hours before departure, and none are sold on South Korea routes.
| PACKAGE | CHECKED BAG | EXTRA CARRY-ON |
|---|---|---|
| Value | 30 kg | No |
| Premium | 30 kg | +8 kg |
| Flex Biz | No | +8 kg |
On Narita to Los Angeles, a sports item up to 200 cm costs ¥8,000, rising to ¥11,000 for flights from October 25, 2026. Items over 200 cm cost ¥13,000. Bicycles, golf, ski and snowboard gear and surfboards qualify, with a 32 kg limit per piece. Narita to Honolulu costs ¥7,000 for items up to 200 cm, rising to ¥8,000 from October 25, 2026.
Yes, your own stroller checks free (¥0), and so does your own child seat. You can push it to the boarding gate, but Zipair hands it back at baggage claim, not at the aircraft door. Child seats can't be used on board.
No. Zipair accepts 0 pets, in the cabin or as checked baggage. Assistance dogs (guide, service and hearing dogs) fly in the cabin free. On US and Canada routes, psychiatric service dogs and alert dogs can also travel if they meet Zipair's conditions, with documents sent 48 hours ahead. Emotional support dogs don't qualify.
No, 0 bags transfer automatically. Arriving on another airline, you collect your luggage and check it again at the Zipair counter, paying Zipair's fees. Build enough connection time to clear baggage claim and check-in.
Yes. Every fare includes 2 carry-on pieces with a combined weight of 7 kg. Only the extra 8 kg top-up costs money, for example ¥5,000 from Narita to Los Angeles.
No. ZIP Full-Flat gets the same 7 kg carry-on as Standard and no free checked bag. Add a bag separately or buy the Value or Premium package, which includes one 30 kg bag.
Yes. Paying at the airport counter or through the contact center adds a ¥1,000 handling fee on top of the checked baggage price, and buying online avoids it.
No, not if measured strictly. 22 x 14 x 9 in is about 56 x 36 x 23 cm, so the length runs 1 cm over Zipair's 55 cm limit. Weight is the bigger hurdle, since that bag and your second piece must total 7 kg.
No. Zipair does not accept checked baggage above 30 kg per piece, and it publishes no overweight fee. Sports equipment is the exception, with a 32 kg limit.
