ZIPAIR Tokyo Baggage Fees (2026)
Quick summary
ZIPAIR Tokyo is Japan Airlines' long-haul low-cost arm flying transpacific and Asian routes, and its basic Standard fare includes NO checked baggage at all — only 7kg of carry-on across two pieces. Any hold bag must be bought as an add-on or bundled into the Value or Premium Service Package (which include a 30kg checked bag). Checked-bag fees are per piece and vary by route, from roughly ¥4,000 short-haul to ¥11,000 on US routes. Always pre-pay online, because buying at the airport adds an admin fee.

How to avoid extra fees
- The Standard fare has zero hold baggage, so if you are checking a bag, price the Value Service Package (which includes a 30kg bag) against buying a bag separately.
- Always add checked bags online before the airport — paying at the counter adds about a ¥1,000 admin fee per transaction.
- The Standard carry-on limit is a strict 7kg across two pieces combined, so weigh both bags together, not just the main one.
- Checked-bag prices rise with route distance, from about ¥4,000 short-haul to about ¥11,000 to San Francisco, so budget by route rather than assuming one flat fee.
- Each checked piece can be up to 30kg and 203 cm total, and you can take up to 5 pieces — heavy single items fit within one bag rather than needing splits.
- If you want a bigger cabin allowance, the Premium Service Package lifts carry-on to 15kg, useful for avoiding checked fees on shorter trips.
- On US-origin flights fees are charged in dollars (about $58 Honolulu, $85 San Francisco), so factor the currency when comparing outbound versus return.
