Self-Service Baggage Drop Machines

Self-service machines are available at some airports. Passengers who have checked in and have a boarding pass can go directly to a self-service machine to check in their bags.

However, these customers should proceed to an ANA check-in counter for international flights:

  • Those requiring boarding assistance
  • Those required to pay excess baggage fees
  • Those checking in dangerous, fragile, and non-standard baggage. Additionally, golf bags, skis or snowboards, surfboards, pets, strollers, umbrellas or tripods cannot be checked in at a self-service kiosk.
  • * Depending on reservation and ticket details, some passengers may not be able to use this service. Consult ANA ground staff for details.
  • * Due to system specifications, baggage tags may not be issued to the final destination if you are not checked in for the connecting flight. Please ask an ANA ground staff for details.

If you have printed a baggage tag on a self-service check-in machine, attach the tag to your bag, then check it in using the self-service baggage drop machine. (These guidelines may differ by airport.)

On top of items not permitted in checked baggage (see Restricted and Banned Items) fragile items and baggage of non-standard shape cannot be checked in using self-service machines.
