Fees and allowances vary by route, fare and status.
Baggage
All passengers are entitled to one carry-on bag that does not weigh more than 5 kg, and the sum of length, width, and height are less than or equal to 115 cm. On domestic flights, passengers are allowed 30 kg in business class and 20 kg in economy class. On international flights, passengers are allowed three pieces of baggage, 23 kg each in Business Class, and two pieces of baggage, 23 kg each in Economy Class. Any baggage exceeding the checked baggage allowance will be charged per kg.
Children under two years of age are considered infants. Infants younger than seven days old are not allowed on the flight. Infants do not need a separate seat. They may travel on the lap of an accompanying adult. For example, one adult may travel with two infants. In this case, you need to buy one seat for one infant, and the other can be on the adult's lap.
Registration can be done online (via the website or mobile application) or at the airport. For most Chongqing Airlines flights, airport check-in closes 30 minutes before departure. However, at some airports, check-in closes 45 minutes before departure. Online check-in is available from 2 p.m. the day before departure and one hour before the scheduled departure on all Chongqing Airlines flights.
Find quick answers to the most common questions about flying with Chongqing Airlines.
What carry-on size does Chongqing Airlines allow in economy, and where may I put a laptop bag?
The official site allows Premium Economy and Economy one carry-on up to 55 × 40 × 20 cm and 8 kg; First and Business may take two pieces of that specification. One additional small laptop bag, camera bag, briefcase or handbag may be carried and must be placed under the seat in front during the flight. Oversized baggage may need rescreening and checking at the gate and may not arrive on the same flight.
How does buying separate Chongqing Airlines tickets differ from one connecting ticket?
A ticket containing connecting flights forms one carriage contract; separately purchased tickets form independent contracts. Unless stated otherwise, contractual rights and duties do not extend across those separate contracts, so do not assume the same connection protection.
When must I request a Chongqing Airlines refund, and how long does processing take?
Apply no later than one month after ticket validity expires. The airline completes refund procedures within seven working days of receiving a valid application, excluding financial-institution processing time. Provide the printed e-ticket itinerary if one was issued. The refundable amount still follows the applicable fare and refund rules.
Can Chongqing Airlines waive change or refund fees if I or a companion becomes ill?
For injury, illness or other health reasons preventing travel as ticketed, qualifying supporting documents can allow unused sectors to be changed without a change fee or refunded free within ticket validity. Confirm document and processing requirements with Chongqing Airlines. A change-fee waiver does not itself waive every possible fare difference.
What dates can I choose for an involuntary change after a Chongqing Airlines schedule disruption?
One free involuntary change is normally allowed. Domestic flights can be moved within seven days before or after the original travel date; international flights within seven days before or 14 days after it, including the original departure day as described in the conditions. If no Chongqing Airlines flight is available within that window, the nearest available flight can be used, subject to the disruption rules.
Can I get a second free involuntary change if Chongqing Airlines separates me from my child?
Yes. A second free involuntary change may reunite a passenger and accompanying child on the same flight. The rule also covers passengers on the same booking split across flights. Other listed cases include disrupted Chongqing Airlines connections that no longer connect or exceed 240 minutes; the relevant conditions must be met.
Are meals and accommodation always free when a Chongqing Airlines flight is delayed or cancelled?
No. At the origin, the airline provides meals or accommodation for disruptions attributable to Chongqing Airlines. For other causes, it helps arrange them at the passenger’s expense. For diversions or departure disruption at an intermediate stop, it provides meals or accommodation as prescribed, subject to the stated flight and cause conditions.
What compensation does Chongqing Airlines publish for arrival delays caused by the airline?
For passengers who travel on the affected flight under this provision, airline-attributable arrival delays of at least four but less than eight hours receive RMB 200 per person; delays of eight hours or more receive RMB 400. Schedule changes caused by flight-plan adjustments are excluded from this clause’s delay definition. Mandatory law or convention provisions still apply.
Can Chongqing Airlines issue written proof of a delay or cancellation?
Yes. For departure delay, arrival delay or flight cancellation, the airline provides written confirmation when needed by the passenger. The document does not itself guarantee an insurance payout; the purchased policy’s claim conditions still apply.
Can I take an instrument such as a cello into a Chongqing Airlines cabin?
An instrument within cabin-baggage size and weight limits may travel in the cabin, in a shock-resistant case under your care. An oversized instrument needing cabin carriage requires the seat-baggage service and its applicable charge. Instruments checked instead need prior application and airline agreement, with original or professional rigid protective packaging. Cargo carriage is another option.
