From 12 July 2019, for passengers holding Urumqi Air domestic air tickets, the maximum weight limit for free carry-on luggage will be increased from 5 kg to 7 kg. The total dimensions of the carry-on luggage, however, cannot exceed 20 x 40 x 30 cm. 

In addition, the free checked baggage allowance for passengers holding the Urumqi Air team tickets is adjusted to 10 kg, while passengers holding the tickets below the Economy Class of 4 per cent discount (for Class A/U/T/Z/R/E/E1/E2/E3) cannot enjoy the free checked baggage allowance.

Other baggage new rules will also apply:

Group passengers holding on to Urumqi Air tickets above the Economy Class of 4 per cent discount (Class G/B/H/K/L/M/X/V/N/P) can enjoy free checked baggage of maximum weight 10 kg. 

Passengers that hold full-priced Urumqi Air tickets or tickets under free exchange or Premium Economy Class tickets (Class Y/S/O/Q) can check-in free baggage up to 20 kg.

Business Class passengers of Urumqi Air are allowed to bring onboard 2 luggage with each maximum weight of 7 kg under Class C/D/I/J. However, the luggage dimensions cannot exceed 115 cm.

For checked baggage exceeding the limit, passengers can purchase baggage allowance on demand through Urumqi Air official website, WeChat public account, customer service hotline (95334), airport check-in counters for excess baggage payment.

The new baggage policy follows Urumqi Air's decision to sell inflight meals onboard its domestic flights with effect from 1 July 2019. 

On Urumqi Air's flights to Singapore and future international flights, the maximum carry-on luggage weight is 5 kg, according to Urumqi Air GSA in Singapore. This is in contrast with the maximum carry-on baggage weight of 10 kg stated in Urumqi Air's General Conditions of International Carriage for Passengers and Baggage, while the maximum dimensions of a carry-on baggage cannot exceed 115 cm, same as GX Airlines.

The maximum weight of a checked-in luggage on Urumqi Air's international flight cannot exceed 23 kg.

Passengers departing from Singapore for Wuhan and Urumqi are advised to check with the counter staff on carry-on baggage weight.

International inflight meals on Urumqi Air's Singapore flight services remain complimentary.
