• Wheelchair Check-In

Checking in wheelchairs

Passengers with disabilities may check-in wheelchairs free of charge.

  However, check-in is limited to the item the passenger uses themselves.

A passenger who uses a motorized wheelchair should notify our staff of the size, weight and battery type when making a reservation.
Additionally, you should come to the airport check-in counter at least 60 minutes prior to departure time.

• *
  Check-in and carry-on of lithium ion batteries for motorized wheelchairs are restricted by law.
  Please see Spare Batteries for Motorized Wheelchairs before you travel.

Carrying On Wheelchairs

We will accept a passenger’s wheelchair at the baggage counter at check-in because there is no space to stow it in the cabin.
You will be provided a wheelchair for use inside the airport at the check-in counter. If you would like to use your own wheelchair up to the boarding gate, please notify airport staff.

To prevent conditions in which a mobile electronic device using lithium batteries could ignite in a location you cannot see, the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau ordered mandatory safety procedures for the transport of such devices in a Cargo Compartment.

To check-in electronic devices containing lithium batteries

• 1
  Turn the device completely OFF. (do not put it in Sleep Mode)
• 2
  To prevent ignition from sudden movement or damage, protect the device in a sturdy suitcase or by wrapping it in clothing.

• *
  Mobile batteries and spare batteries using lithium batteries (batteries removed from electronic devices such as digital cameras) cannot be checked in as checked baggage in the cargo hold.

A list of example items that are prohibited or permitted under certain conditions to be carried into the cabin or checked in is available on the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism website.
Passengers should ensure in advance that their belongings do not contain any items that can be identified as dangerous goods. If it cannot be determined whether an item can be transported by the departure time, your request to transport it may be refused. Thank you for your understanding.
