All Nippon Airways will impose a clearly defined size limit for personal items on ANA Group flights beginning July 1, 2026. Handbags, laptop cases, shoulder bags and small backpacks must measure no more than 40 by 30 by 20 centimetres and fit entirely beneath the seat ahead. Passengers may still carry one standard cabin bag and one personal item, with the two pieces weighing no more than 10 kilogrammes combined. Additional shopping or souvenir bags may count as a third item, while oversized personal belongings could be checked into the hold at the departure gate. ANA says the updated policy is intended to speed up boarding, improve punctuality and reduce injuries caused by baggage falling from overhead compartments.

It will certainly speed up boarding for ANA as punters chose another airline rather than put up with this nonsense.

Oh please.

ANA is just marching to the orders of the WEF cabal.

Air travel must be discouraged and eventually made too much a hassle to even bother.

You will own nothing, stay in your 15 minute city and be happy.

Other carriers to fall in line soon.

PREPARE.

No it will not. You do not fly NH do you? I do. I see the idiocy from some passengers -the space hogs. Rather than use common sense you claim it is nonsense. The airline has adopted the dimensions common to other airlines, which ensures a consistent industry policy. More importantly, and this may difficult for you to comprehend, the dimension size ensures that the baggage item can fit under the seat.Too many passengers abuse the cabin baggage allowance and put their 2 carry on items in the overhead. On a full flight, there is only enough room for 1 item per pax. Space is tight when people put their jackets in the overheads as well.Add to that the idiots who put their oversized carry-ons in sideways, taking up 2 places.

NH is one of the better airlines when it comes to boarding procedures. it does have a problem with some foreign nationals who are inconsiderate in respect to carry ons and boarding procedures.

Flown them a couple of times.

How many of those unused hand-carry dimension-checking frame thingamabobs do you see scattered around the check-in aisles of most airports? They've all been purchased on the orders of some manager who hasn't a clue about the size and weight of the average hand-carry item. It doesn't matter as they are ignored by both passengers and check-in staff, but maybe ANA should borrow some and train ground staff on how to get passengers to use them.

..."consistent industry policy"... LOL

Cabin bag rules are widely abused, to the discomfort of other passengers. I only hope ANA have the courage to enforce this ruling on ALL passengers. One cabin bag per passenger is quite enough.
