Solaseed Air (IATA 6J) is a Japanese domestic carrier based in Miyazaki and part of the ANA group network, flying routes that link Tokyo Haneda with Kyushu and Okinawa. Because it is an all-domestic operator, its baggage rules are simpler than those of international airlines: there is no Light/Basic/Plus fare-bundle ladder, and every standard ticket carries the same generous allowance. There is one notable exception — Individual Inclusive Tour (package) fares, which include only one free checked bag instead of two.
This guide reflects Solaseed Air’s current published 2026 policy. Note that Solaseed updated its reservation and boarding procedures across all flights starting May 2026, so always confirm figures at the booking screen, where bag details are shown before payment.

What you actually get on a cheap fare
What you actually get on Solaseed Air’s cheapest fare: at the deal prices we track, Solaseed bundles a real allowance into the base ticket — there is no fare-class trap. The cheapest regular fare still includes 10 kg of cabin baggage and at least one free checked bag (the airline’s standard is two; only Individual Inclusive Tour fares drop to one). For a Japanese domestic flight that is unusually generous — most low-cost competitors on the same routes charge for every checked bag. So the headline fare you see on a Solaseed deal is close to the all-in price: bring up to 23 kg checked and a 10 kg cabin bag without paying a cent extra.
Oversize, sports & special items
Oversize, overweight and special items. Solaseed will not accept any single piece weighing more than 45 kg or exceeding 292 cm in total linear dimensions. Bags over 32 kg per piece, over 203 cm, or a total baggage weight above 100 kg require advance inquiry. Oversized bags up to the 292 cm ceiling are charged JPY 5,500 each.
Sports equipment and instruments. Items such as golf bags, skis, snowboards and surfboards are accepted within the free checked allowance provided they stay under the weight and size limits; pieces exceeding them attract the oversize/overweight charges above. Musical instruments too large to fit the cabin rule can be carried by purchasing an extra seat (the Cabin Baggage Fee), as with any oversized cabin item.
Cabin overflow. If your carry-on exceeds the 55 x 40 x 25 cm / 10 kg limit and you wish to keep it in the cabin, Solaseed requires you to buy a Cabin Baggage Fee and an additional seat rather than simply gate-checking it.
Frequently asked questions
How many bags can I check for free on Solaseed Air?
On standard fares you get two checked bags free, each up to 23 kg and within 158 cm total linear dimensions. Individual Inclusive Tour (package) fares include only one free checked bag.
What is the carry-on size and weight limit?
One cabin bag up to 55 x 40 x 25 cm (115 cm total linear dimensions) and 10 kg, plus one small personal item such as a handbag or camera. Combined cabin weight must stay within 10 kg.
How much does excess baggage cost on Solaseed Air?
A bag weighing 23-32 kg costs JPY 1,100 per piece on standard routes (JPY 500 on Okinawa-Ishigaki). A bag of 32-45 kg costs JPY 5,500 (JPY 4,400 on Okinawa-Ishigaki). Each additional checked bag beyond the free allowance is JPY 5,500.
Is there a weight limit beyond which Solaseed won't accept a bag?
Yes. Solaseed will not accept any single piece over 45 kg or exceeding 292 cm in total linear dimensions. Pieces over 32 kg or 203 cm, or total baggage above 100 kg, need advance inquiry before travel.
Does Solaseed Air have Light or Basic fares that exclude a checked bag?
No. As an all-domestic Japanese carrier, Solaseed applies a uniform allowance across its regular fare types — there is no Light/Basic tier that strips the checked bag. The only reduced allowance is on Individual Inclusive Tour fares, which include one free bag instead of two.
Can I bring sports equipment or a musical instrument?
Sports gear like golf bags, skis and surfboards travels within the free checked allowance if it stays under the weight and size limits; otherwise the oversize/overweight fees apply. Large musical instruments that won't fit the cabin rule can be carried by buying an extra seat (the Cabin Baggage Fee).
What happens if my carry-on is too big?
If a cabin bag exceeds 55 x 40 x 25 cm or 10 kg and you want to keep it onboard, Solaseed requires you to purchase a Cabin Baggage Fee and an additional seat rather than gate-checking it.
