Baggage Handlers = hired by AirAsia? Since when?

If not mistaken is MAHB right?

They scan every luggage. They do it inside so that is why we didn't see our luggage being scan. I am using soft duffel bag too because I remember I used the hard case luggage and it was beyong repair when I arrived Surabaya for our conference several years ago.

Ohh!! Now i get it. Aiyo, now i feel stupid pulak not knowing this. Will take note on this!

Thanks for the very valueable info!! Great help for travellers.

No problem. Sharing is caring mah

The plastic wrap very cheap. RM10 per bag. Normally the guy stanby at the corner of Counter A in KLIA.

Possible to share the tips so that we can avoid our bags being "broken into "

Did your friend lock the zipper at all ?
It could be stolen either in Indonesia or Malaysia ? Only God knows.

Oh RM10 per bag only... I wonder how much it'll be to get it wrapped overseas!!! Duffel bag they'll be so nice to wrap?

Shows how to open a typical suitcase or bag that has a locked zip. Once open the case can then be closed again and will appear as if it were never opened.

In Incheon they don't have plastic wrap. Only string wrap but good quality string. The same string they use to tight up boxes. They wrap tightly back and forth and no way they can open our bag unless they cut the string. I paid KRW3000 for string wrap in Incheon.

Added on May 7, 2012, 12:05 pmActually they can open our luggage if they suspect something inside the bag after scanning. They will closed our luggage after that. That is why you shouldn't put an expensive or valuable item inside your luggage. Put it in your handcarry. Our luggage handler is panjang tangan.

yes agree!! my sis luggage is locked wif padlock (without combination code ) after arrive back to KL, the whole padlock missing. lolz so i wonder, it's wise to lock our bag wif locks? cz they might tot our bag have alot of valuable stuffs inside, n lead them to open it..

He lock it with a normal padlock,not the one with combination codes...
everything already came off when we had our luggage..
the zip head is came of already..

Sometimes I believe that it's usually not the ppl who tamper with the padlock but, maybe the steel the padlock is made of is kinda soft and when they transfer the luggage, it somehow hit the ground or hook on something somehow. Did you manage to check if the items you placed in your luggage is still in the same condition, nothing moved?

i assume luggage usually being thrown.. n stuffs inside is messy.. nt too messy till like ppl search d whole luggage bt nt as tidy whn d time we put our clothes n stuffs into our luggage ..

If say your luggage is the type that is not full or pack until compact, then hard to say if really got someone go thru your luggage or not lor (especially those hard case ones).

As for me, I'm using duffel bag that has got those 2 strap to strap on it to make the bag more compact, so i would know if someone has gone through it.....

yes, MAHB staff.

never blame everything to AA la as it is unfair to them

even low cost airline but they are doing great job compared to MAS

hi all, i forgot to add the 20kg luggage while booking, Can i buy when checking in at airport?

If you don't lock your luggage, you will encounter another problem. Someone will put drugs or any unwanted item in your bag.

Exactly.

There's plenty stuff I don't like about AA, but let's not blame them for things that they aren't responsible for.

Have you web checked in yet? If not, you can go to manage my booking and add your luggage.
