Having all flights on Asiana Airlines
  • For efficiency, we offer international flight baggage check so that you do not have to claim your baggage at Incheon Airport.
  • However, if you have purchased a domestic flight ticket and an international flight ticket separately, be sure to notify the staff at check-in.
Transferring to other airlines
  • Depending on the policy of the airline you are connecting to, you may be able to collect your baggage upon arrival and check the baggage again at the airline counter, or have your baggage automatically sent to the connecting airline without having to claim your baggage. When you depart on a domestic flight, please follow the instructions of a staff member (subject to change without prior notice due to circumstances of the airline).

Connecting from an airport in the U.S to domestic flights

Free baggage when traveling to the U.S. through Japan

Using low-cost carrier
