FAQ
Can I buy extra baggage online before my flight?
Yes. Asiana Airlines offers pre-purchase of excess baggage allowance for international flights. You can buy during booking or afterwards via the website or mobile app by searching your booking and selecting 'Pre-purchase Baggage Allowance'.
Where can I buy extra baggage?
Online via the Asiana website (Find My Trip) or mobile app, or at the airport check-in counter. Pre-purchase is only available online more than 24 hours before departure.
When should I buy extra baggage?
Purchase more than 24 hours before departure to get up to 10% discount. Pre-purchase is available from the time of booking until 24 hours before departure. After checking in, online purchase is no longer available.
Is it cheaper to buy extra baggage online vs at the airport?
Yes. Pre-purchasing online more than 24 hours before departure gives approximately 10% discount compared to airport rates. For example, a U.S. route extra piece costs KRW 180,000 online vs KRW 200,000 at the airport.
What are the weight and size limits for extra bags?
Pre-purchased excess baggage must be under 23 kg with total linear dimensions under 158 cm. If the bag exceeds weight or size limits, additional overweight/oversized surcharges apply at the airport. The absolute maximum is 32 kg per piece (45 kg with advance notice) and 292 cm total linear dimensions. Bags over 32 kg may be denied transport.
Can I get a refund on pre-purchased extra baggage?
Refunds for pre-purchased baggage are available until 24 hours before departure through the Asiana website (Booking Details). No refunds within 24 hours of departure, except if Asiana cancels the flight due to weather or maintenance, or if you upgrade to a higher class to the same destination. No refund for unused weight. For tickets bought on the Asiana website, refund is automatic; for tickets bought elsewhere, apply at the reservation center or branch.
How does Asiana Airlines calculate extra baggage charges?
International excess baggage fees are based on piece concept: each extra piece (max 23 kg, max 158 cm) incurs a flat fee that varies by route zone (Short-haul, Zone 2 Japan/China/Taiwan/HK/Macao/Mongolia, Zone 3 within Asia, Zone 4 Asia-Europe/Middle East/Africa/Oceania, U.S. routes). Overweight and oversized surcharges are charged separately at airport rates. Domestic flights use weight-based pricing at KRW 2,000/kg.
What are the overweight and oversized baggage rules?
Overweight fees apply for bags 24-32 kg (airport rate only). Bags 33-45 kg require advance notice. Oversize fees apply for total dimensions 159-203 cm (single excess baggage rate) and 204-292 cm (double excess baggage rate, advance notice required). If both overweight and oversized, both surcharges may apply. Maximum weight is 32 kg for safe handling (45 kg with advance notice).
Can I pre-purchase baggage for codeshare or transfer flights?
No. Pre-purchase of excess baggage allowance is not available for passengers with transfer flights or codeshare flights of other airlines. Arrival-departure within 24 hours at the same airport is considered a transfer connecting flight.
What payment currencies are supported for online baggage purchase?
When purchasing on the website or mobile app, the same currency used for the ticket is applied. Supported currencies: AUD, CNY, EUR, GBP, HKD, IDR, JPY, KRW, SGD, TWD, USD, THB. Departing from Korea: KRW. Departing from U.S.: USD. Other countries: USD converted to local currency at the bank sell rate.
Are there any important exceptions or restrictions?
Pre-purchase is only for international flights, only for additional pieces (not overweight). It cannot cover excess weight. Pre-purchased allowance is non-transferable. Not available after check-in (cancel check-in first). Not available for PETC/AVIH service passengers. Purchase may be restricted due to capacity/payload, itinerary changes, or currency discrepancies. Domestic flights charge KRW 2,000/kg excess weight only.
