read carefully...it says "cabin" instead of "cargo"
cabin means inside the cabin, cargo means place where they store the check-in luggage right ?
You read carefully, it mentions limitation on checked in baggage allowance.
In the interest of safety, Malaysia Airlines currently operates a long route to Europe, which combined with temporary unseasonably strong head winds, is limiting the airlines' ability to carry baggage in cargo.
This longer flight path consumes more jet fuel and for safety reasons,
Malaysia Airlines has had to impose temporary limitation on checked in baggage allowance. From tonight, 5 January 2016 (until further notice), the airline will only be able to accommodate cabin baggage of up to 7kg – one piece totalling 7kg per Economy Class passengers and two pieces totalling 14kg (up to 7kg per piece) for Business/First Class passengers. Passengers who wish to check in their luggage will be able to do so, however their baggage will only arrive later.
