We understand baggage is an important part of your journey. Please look over the relevant baggage information below:

We recommend packing your belongings in durable bags designed for travel to avoid damage during transport. It is essential to securely attach your name and contact information to all checked bags for easier identification.

To safeguard your property, please carry cash, jewelry, electronics, and important travel documents with you in hand luggage. Air China is not liable for the loss or damage of these specific items if they are placed in checked baggage.
