No idea about this but I do have annually shopping trips to BKK and I bring back definitely more than one pair of new shoes and 3 pcs of new clothes lol.

Unless they still have the price tag on then maybe diff story?

What kind of shopping items are you looking at? Branded luxury items?
If it's for personal consumption, I doubt you'll have any issues la. I was told if gadgets then might have some issues.

Standard 20" luggage is usually cabin approved.
You can check with the respective airline that you are flying on for the allowed cabin luggage size. It differs for each airline but it's usually it's around 22" x 14" x 9" or 55cm x 35cm x 25cm.

Shouldn't be a problem. Measure your bag. As long as it's within the dimensions.

Try not to carry so many bags. One cabin luggage and one handbag/slingbag/laptop bag is no problem.

Depends where you are flying to.
If domestic then no problems.

As long as it's within the allowed size and weight.
You can check the other thread on backpacks. https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1233513/+1040

Generally below 40L is okay. More than that, it depends.

Honestly, I'm not sure. If it's a left out "space" or front to back first name last name thing, then usually no problem.

Try calling MAS helpline and see if they can do anything about it. What did the travel agency say?

Btw, when you edit the post to tag ppl, it doesn't appear in the notification yea.

The "-" is not exactly in our passport. I had an issue when converting my Malaysian driving license to NZ driving license because my name in passport and name on Malaysian driving license was different because of the "-".

But other than that, no issues so far travelling. Sometimes my middle and last name are joined together also no problem.

Got lots of lemons confiscated when coming back from overseas to KL. Please note that citrus fruits are no longer allowed in starting this year.

AFAIK, if you hand carry it, it should be fine.

On my recent trip to Tawau via Airasia. I booked a return flight to Tawau much much earlier due to promotion, but later realized that I can't make such a long trip. So I booked another 1-way flight from KL-Tawau and plan to burn my earlier KL-Tawau ticket from the return flight.

During web check in, I checked in my return flight (Tawau-KL only) for my first booking.
And check in as usual for my second booking.

No issues whatsoever. But please check with your airline for more info.

Did they put there why?

How old is that person?

Yes can. As long as each baggage is below 32kg and max total up is 20kg as per what you've bought.

If you bought the bottle of wine in Melbourne (not from the Melbourne airport duty free), then pack it nicely and check it in. You cannot bring any liquid on board, other than those purchased from duty free. If you purchased it from duty free, it's a different story, just make sure to not open anything purchased from duty free.

Zip lock bag? Pretty much anywhere. Supermarkets, hardware DIY shops, Daiso, etc.
Most of the airports are not strict with needing a zip lock bag. As long as all your liquids are in 100ml or less bottles/tubes, it's fine. Just get a pouch to put all of it in so it'll be easier in case they need to check (and also easier and more organized for you when you travel).

For more info on LAG restrictions, please refer: http://www.malaysiaairports.com.my/?m=airp...nger_guide&id=1

There is no restriction on liquid for domestic flights.

No worries. There shouldn't be any issues with what you are carrying.
Usually 1 backpack/handbag and 1 hand carry luggage is perfectly fine.

Welcome back! Hope you enjoyed your trip

Yea, as long as they are not oversized and overweight, it's usually okay most of the time. A small backpack, handcarry luggage and a small handbag definitely no issues pretty much everywhere in the world.

All powerbank allowed on hand carry only.

At some airports, it's stated that powerbanks over 32,000mah are not allowed on board the plane (checked in/hand carry).

For those who have powerbanks from 20,000mah to 32,000mah, a maximum of 2 pieces are allowed in your hand carry.

Yes. Do not check in power banks.

I do this all the time.
Maybe during take off and landing they might say don't charge. I know for those flights with USB ports in front (like MAS), we can't charge or plug any cable in during take off and landing.

Nope. Cannot. Finish all your liquid bought (unless it's sealed liquor) before 2nd security check.

After the 2nd security check only you can fill up your water bottles. I dunno why they don't sell water bottles after 2nd security check. Each gate has a water dispenser somewhere though. If packed then need to queue cause only 1 of the water dispenser can be used to fill even though there's 2 there (water pressure not enough).

If you pen resembles a syringe then yea maybe.
