Have 20 kg allowance, but if it is exceeded can put some inside hand-carry bag. Doing it at the counter would be embarassing Will weight at home first using domestic body scale

teach u one trick..i use this method EVERYTIME lol..u take ur check in luggage,take to any one of the empty check in counter,put ur luggage onto the belt then weight..
then u can see how heavy u bag is..if exceed,find somewher less ppl transfer out ur item lo.lol.. i do it in other country's airport as well..they wont scold u dun worry.

Can we bring in lighter or matches inside check-in baggage?

If i book 1-way ticket in KL from sydney to KL and at payment screen should i choose to pay in AUD or RM? Will the credit card exchange rate be better than AA rate?

Yes... BUT not on hand-carry luggage

Thank you. Check-in luggage is good enough

Why not? I am a smoker and I always bring my lighter on me.

EDITED

I check for October, the price is still RM163 one way without luggage or food.

Can bring la.. no problem.. I always bring inside my pocket... I also bought back as souvenir...

okie dokie, will put one inside check-in luggage, another inside pocket and place it inside the tray during inspection. see they wanna confiscate or not

Me too. Get those 25-40kg mini scale. Accuracy +/- 100-200g is ok, as I try to achieve 6.8-6.9kg only most of the time.
Very useful when packing heavy stuff and to know near limit or not.

Check-in can.
Hand-carry, if scanned, sure consficate for lighter, considered as aerosol since it is compress.
Matches more difficult to scan, since it is tiny pieces of wood (not metal). I "accidentally" left it in my hand-carry computer backpack before. Some hotels match-box quite nice

Thats what i thought too. One poster above said he can bring in lighter, and my friend also said the same thing, many times haha. No liquid bla bla bla, but can bring lighter!

There is so much info on internet... just google it.

what's that ?

Yeah, i read some news about it too but just find it hard to believe

an instrument that can be used to measure force. there is a hanging type that can function as a scale hehe.

Actually, my fren forgot to take out some cny cracker from his bag on trip to japan. That cracker pass the security scanner...

Same as a small nail-clipper <5cm long. How much damage it can do ?

I know with a fire from lighter/matches, I can start a fire on board with tissue/paper from the lavatory.

It depends on how skillful and concentration from the person sitting behind the x-ray viewer.
I've passed through many items before also.
