Pre-Study Abroad Checklist - Airlines Part 2: Korean Air Baggage Policy

Hello everyone

AWork Study Abroad here :)


In our last post, we covered Asiana Airlines' baggage

size limits and precautions.


>>>Click here for Asiana Airlines baggage info<<<


Today, we'll look at another of Korea's major airlines,

Korean Air's baggage policy and precautions.





< Precautions When Preparing Your Baggage >


- Attach a name tag clearly showing your name, address, and destination

- For sports equipment like bicycles or surfboards,

or pets, contact the airline in advance

- Some items cannot be checked or carried on


>>>See Korean Air's prohibited items in detail<<<





< Precautions During Baggage Check-in >


- The weight measured at the airport may differ from what you measured at home.

- Regardless of paying an excess baggage fee, some countries

won't allow you to check bags over 32kg.

- You cannot check in baggage on behalf of another person.

- To smoothly collect your baggage at the arrival airport,

it's best to keep your baggage claim tag until you arrive.





< When Collecting Your Baggage >


- After finding your baggage at the carousel, make sure to check

it's really yours. Since many suitcases look similar,

it's a good idea to attach a name tag.

- If you have items to declare, fill out the

‘Travelers' Customs Declaration Form’ handed out on the plane, then

submit it to the customs officer along with your passport





< Carry-on Baggage Size >


The sum of the three sides must be within 115cm, and no single side

may exceed what's shown in the photo.
