Baggage fees

No reliable fixed price is listed here. Check your booking for the cost of adding a bag; an unlisted price does not mean it is free.

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.

Hainan Airlines liquids policy

Hainan distinguishes routes: international/regional liquids use containers up to 100 ml in one clear resealable 1 litre bag. Domestic liquids are generally prohibited, with limited screened personal cosmetics, toothpaste/shaving cream, necessary infant milk and medicines exceptions. Do not apply the international rule to every domestic flight.

Family & Infants

Infant (under 2)

The current carry-on page applies the adult cabin allowance to an infant without a seat; route-specific limits still apply. No flat infant fare percentage is asserted.

Stroller

Portable folding stroller or similar equipment may enter the cabin within 55×40×20 cm folded and subject to stowage; larger items must be checked. Confirm fees and collection point.

Car seat

Cabin use, approval and any separate allowance require confirmation; no automatic free carriage or use is established by this reviewed page.

Children's allowance

Confirm the booked child ticket and route; no separate bonus cabin allowance is established.
