They are also known for charging for checked baggage. For Japanese and Asian LCCs, one-way charges for 20 kg of checked baggage to Japan range from JPY 3,200 to JPY 3,700 (at the time of booking the ticket), as LCCs are aware that carrying extra checked baggage increases fuel costs. 20 kg checked luggage fee (one way to Japan, Yen) However, the carriage of heavy checked baggage by aircraft not only consumes extra fuel but also hurts climate change by emitting additional carbon dioxide emissions. Deposit baggage charges may therefore be seen as a ‘fine from the earth’ for travelers who fly with heavy baggage. 2：The impact of heavy checked baggage on climate changeread moreAre LCC checked baggage charges “fines imposed by the earth on travelers”?

Reducing luggage when traveling has the maximum reduction of CO2 emissions against any methods Table of Contents 1: Luggage reduction effect when traveling 2: Comparison with other CO2 emission reduction methods 3: Over 40,000 deaths per year worldwide due to climate change over the past 50 years 1: Luggage reduction effect when traveling In our previous post, we examined the carbon dioxide emissions reduction benefits of a 20 kg reduction in luggage when traveling to Japan. In this article, we compare it with other methods of reducing carbon dioxide emissions and explain how significant the effect is. We reconfirm the carbon dioxide emissions from a 20 kg load of luggage when traveling between Narita Airport in Japan and a major city in each country, as shown in our previous post. Distance from Narita Airport from major cities and carbon dioxide emissions from loaded luggage Note: Carbon dioxide emissions for Rome, London, and Moscow are data from Haneda Airport Source：ICAO、ECTA、DEFRA、Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism The carbon dioxide emissions of the deposit baggage (20 kg) were calculated using data from ECTA (The European Clean Trucking Alliance) “Guidelines for Measuring and Managing CO2 Emission from Freightread moreReducing luggage when traveling has the maximum reduction of CO2 emissions against any methods
