Buying prepaid baggage on China Eastern Airlines saves you up to 50% compared to paying at the airport. Here’s the quick answer: log into your booking on the China Eastern website or app, go to ‘Baggage’ or ‘Add-ons’, select your prepaid allowance, and pay online. You can do this up to 6 hours before departure. But if you’re sourcing luggage from wholesale markets like Soudangkou, you’ll want to know the exact weight limits and how to pack efficiently.
How to Purchase Prepaid Baggage Step by Step
Online via China Eastern Website or App
Go to ‘My Booking’, enter your details, click ‘Add Baggage’, choose weight (23kg or 32kg), pay with Alipay/WeChat/credit card. You’ll get a confirmation email with a barcode.
At Airport Kiosk
Use self-service kiosks 24 hours before departure. Scan passport, select prepaid baggage, pay. Kiosks accept UnionPay, Visa, Mastercard.
Via Customer Service
Call China Eastern hotline ( +86-95530 ) or WeChat customer service. They can process payment over phone. Have your booking reference ready.

Insider Tips from Wholesale Suppliers
If you’re buying luggage in bulk from wholesale markets, you know that weight matters. Use a digital luggage scale (available at Soudangkou for ¥20) to avoid overweight fees. Suppliers recommend packing sample products in lightweight polypropylene suitcases. The fabric weave and stitching should be tight – check seam pull strength. Wholesale market stalls often sell ‘first-quality’ stock that passes airline weight checks.
