Peach Aviation is a bare-bones Japanese low-cost carrier, and its cheapest fare — Simple Peach — gives you exactly one thing: a carry-on. You get up to two pieces of cabin baggage (a bag plus a personal item) with a combined weight of 7 kg and a combined size within 55 x 40 x 25 cm. There is no free checked bag on Simple Peach, on any route — domestic Japan or international, it’s the same deal. If you want to put a suitcase in the hold, you either book up a fare or pay per bag.
This does not vary by region the way some carriers’ Basic fares do. Peach flies domestic Japan and short-haul Asia (Seoul, Taipei, Kaohsiung, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Bangkok, Singapore), and the cheapest fare strips the checked bag on every single one of them. The two step-up bundles are Value Peach (one free checked bag) and Prime Peach (two free checked bags) — those are how you get hold luggage “included” without buying it as an extra.

Baggage by region & route

What you actually get on a cheap fare
On a cheap Peach deal fare you get a 7 kg carry-on and nothing in the hold. Unlike some Asian carriers, Peach does not quietly bundle a checked bag into its lowest international fare — Simple Peach is bagless whether you’re flying Osaka to Tokyo or Osaka to Bangkok. The 7 kg combined cabin limit is also genuinely tight for a two-piece allowance, and Peach does weigh bags at the gate.
If you need the hold, do the maths before you book the rock-bottom Simple fare: pre-book a checked bag online (always cheaper than the airport counter, and the counter rate is punishing), or price up Value Peach — sometimes the bundled-bag fare costs little more than Simple plus a paid bag, and it includes seat/flexibility perks too. Budget a checked-bag add-on (it scales by route — short domestic hops are cheap, the Singapore/Bangkok runs are not) and add it at booking, never at the gate.
Oversize, sports & special items
For oversized items Peach overhauled the rules on 3 December 2024: the old per-type “sports equipment” option (skis, golf clubs, bicycles, surfboards each priced separately) was scrapped and replaced by a single flat oversize baggage add-on covering anything over 204 cm combined, up to 80 cm on any side and 230 cm in length. Pre-booked online it runs from ¥1,900 domestic to ¥2,300 (Seoul), ¥3,300 (Taipei/Kaohsiung/Hong Kong), ¥5,400 (Bangkok/Singapore) and ¥6,700 (Shanghai) — cheaper than before for skiers and golfers, and it still counts within your piece/weight allowance.
Standard checked pieces cap at 20 kg / 203 cm; anything 20–32 kg triggers a heavy-baggage fee, and bags over 32 kg or beyond the oversize limits won’t be accepted. As ever with an LCC, every gram and every centimetre is enforced — there is no goodwill grace at the counter.
Frequently asked questions
Does the cheapest Peach Aviation fare include a checked bag?
No. Simple Peach, the cheapest fare, includes no free checked bag on any route — domestic or international. You only get the carry-on allowance; a checked bag must be paid for separately or you book Value Peach (1 bag) or Prime Peach (2 bags).
Does checked-bag inclusion change on international Peach flights?
No. Peach is a short-haul Asian LCC and the rule is the same everywhere: the cheapest Simple Peach fare never includes a checked bag, whether you fly within Japan or to Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Thailand or Singapore.
What is Peach Aviation's carry-on allowance?
Two pieces — a cabin bag plus a personal item — with a combined weight of 7 kg and combined size within 55 x 40 x 25 cm. This is included on every fare, including Simple Peach, and is weighed at the gate.
How much does a Peach checked bag cost?
It varies by route, the channel you use, and how early you add it. Pre-booking online is the cheapest; the airport counter is the most expensive. Always add it at booking rather than at the gate.
What's the difference between Simple, Value and Prime Peach?
Simple Peach is carry-on only (no checked bag). Value Peach includes one free checked bag (20 kg). Prime Peach includes two free checked bags (20 kg each) plus more flexibility. All three include the same 7 kg carry-on.
How heavy can a Peach checked bag be?
Each piece is capped at 20 kg and 203 cm total dimensions. Pieces between 20 kg and 32 kg incur a heavy-baggage fee. You may check up to 5 pieces totalling 100 kg.
How do I carry skis, golf clubs or a bicycle on Peach?
Since December 2024 these go under a single flat ‘oversize baggage’ add-on (anything over 204 cm combined, up to 80 cm per side and 230 cm length), priced ¥1,900 domestic up to ¥6,700 international when pre-booked online — replacing the old per-sport pricing.
Can I add a checked bag at the airport?
Yes, but it’s the most expensive option, and you cannot add baggage online once you’ve checked in. Baggage can be added up to one hour before scheduled departure via online, the contact centre or the airport counter.
