Official baggage policy
How to use this policy

Check cabin bag dimensions, weight and personal-item limits separately. A bag has to pass every published limit at once; being under the length and width limit does not help if the depth, weight, or fare-specific allowance is tighter.

Editorial signal only. Measure the packed bag and verify the operating carrier's rule.

China Airlines liquids policy

China Airlines check-in guidance lists liquids, gels and aerosols in containers up to 100 ml inside a transparent resealable bag up to 1 litre. Confirm local screening and medicine/infant-food exceptions before departure.
