When a passenger is arriving on ANA international Award ticket flight (not code share, its NH flight) to Narita, and the passenger is connecting to onward Jpn domestic flight, what is the rule on the check-in luaggage if the domestic portion is on a separate ticket?
Unfortunately the award seat for the domestic leg from NRT was sold out and the passenger has to either buy a separate ticket, OR transit thru HND (which the passenger wishes to avoid).
Does the international luggage allowance rule applies to this domestic flight?
Although there will be two separate tickets (Intl leg and the domestic leg), I was under impression that the luggage can be checked-in with domestic flight free of charge (1st one, economy, 23kg).
Am I correct? Appreciate any reply. Thank you.
NH domestic has free checked luggage so no matter the options 1 bag 20 kg in economy flies free. If the domestic flight departs from Narita as well I am pretty sure that NH can check it through to the final destination even on two tickets. And you will be fine with international 23kg. You will need to collect it and go through customs before proceeding to the domestic counter for bag drop. If you fly from Haneda, it will not be checked through and you will most likely be measured on the domestic 20kg. Since I have never checked baggage domestic in Japan, I have no experience with how strictly they enforce the weight limit.
