What about luggage policy for Chinese domestic flights?
Answer:
• Free Luggage Allowance for Domestic Flights:
Any passenger holding a first class adult ticket or a
half-price ticket is entitled to bear the luggage of 30
kg free of charge (checked and carry-on baggage);
Any passenger holding a economy class adult ticket or a
half-price ticket is entitled to bear the luggage of 20
kg free of charge (checked and carry-on baggage);
No free luggage allowance for people who hold infant
tickets.
• Carry-On Luggage for Domestic Flights:
Each first-class passenger is entitled to have two
pieces of carry-on luggage;
Each business-class passenger is entitled to have one
piece of carry-on luggage;
Each economy-class passenger is entitled to have one
pieces of carry-on luggage;
The size of each carry-on luggage should be smaller than
20 X 40 X 55 centimeter and total weight should be less
than 5 kg. Otherwise, the luggage should be checked
together with your other luggage. For luggage in excess
of the free baggage allowance in piece, or the sum of
the length, width and height of each piece exceeding the
prescribed limits, an excess luggage charge should be
paid. We recommend for efficient travel that each
passenger travel with only one suitcase and one carry-on
bag. Excessive number, size, or weight of luggage may
result in your inconvenience and/or surcharge.

Can I carry soft drinks with me on board planes?
Answer:
Passengers are allowed to carry liquid articles on
planes, but there are some regulations. Hereunder are
the details announced by the General Administration of
Civil Aviation of China on Feb 5, 2003.
In order to ensure the flight safety of civil aircraft
and protect the life and property of passengers, the
General Administration of Civil Aviation of China has
decided to strengthen the control over carry-on liquid
articles of passengers flying in civil aircraft. It is
hereby announced as follows:
• Each passenger may carry on his person at most two
bottles per trip (the volume of each bottle should not
exceed 500ML) of liquid articles such as carbonated
beverage, mineral water, tea, milk, yogurt or fruit
juice, and the bottles should be opened, inspected and
confirmed beyond doubt before carrying onto an aircraft.
Any liquids other than those listed above should be
placed in checked luggage.
• Passengers should not carry on their person alcohol
(bottled or canned). In those cases where the carrying
of spirits is really necessary, the amount carried by
each person each time should not exceed two bottles (one
kilo), placed in checked luggage, and be in packaging
that complies with CAAC regulations.
• Liquid articles that must be carried by a passenger on
his person for special reasons, such as liquid medicine
carried by a sick passenger and articles for drinking by
an infant accompanied by a passenger, may be carried but
must have their bottles opened, inspected and confirmed
beyond doubt.
• Any passenger who violates the above regulations shall
be responsible for any losses, such as a missed flight,
that may occur due to the violation.
