I am flying overseas in next 2-3 weeks for about 3-4 days, so I decide to travel light. Therefore, I will only bring one medium sized hand carry luggage with me to save on the check in luggage fee. However, I plan to buy some things (badminton rackets and some souveniers) before I come back. Two questions:-

1) Will I be able to carry THREE items on board? (Hand Carry Luggage, racket bag and shopping bag)
2) If cannot, can I check them in IMMEDIATELY at the departure counter (as I have not paid the check in luggage fee)?

P.S: I have already called the AirAsia hotline - been on hold for about 15 mins, but no one answer.

1) nope
2) over counter luggage charge is like RM40 per kg

Can't you put the racket into your carry luggage?

I measured mine with a racket. It doesn't fit. At all.

1) if you mean those professional player's racket bag which are huge assed then, forget about it. shopping bag, depends on size. quite possibly can get away with it IF the bag is just plastic bag preferably with the shop name
2) BUY 4 hours before flight time for cheaper rate. OTC rates are nuts

Better u add on luguage on flight back

sports equipment must be checked-in if i remembered correctly.

sport equipment must check in.

the rate when you check in is based on current country you are in. You better buy add on luggage now.

yes sports equipment must be checked-in. Just buy 20kgs on the trip back. It's like RM44 if I remmbered correctly.

can powerbank put in hand carry luggage or must put in with check-in luggage?

Great. Guess I have to pay in for checked in luggage then. But I can't do it at the moment. Only can do it 14 days from departure?

last time i did is when go only bring small bag + handbag, letak dalam kompartment dalam plane
then when balik, book for luggage beg besar masuk dalam kapal terbang punya bonet, lel

Try to go into airasia webby then manage booking, you can still add luggage if you have not check in yet.

If you want to check in the luggage when you are at airport, you need to pay i think RM35 per kilo luggage. It is wayyyyy cheaper if you can add them now!!

before you fly bac just log in to air asia website purchase your luggage weigh...problem solve...

Sports equipment need pay one

sports equipment like golf clubs and surfing boards need. badminton/tennis rackets no need.

i flew airasia and other airlines with badminton racket can just bring on board provided not too many hand carry

Airasia give u like 7kg check in luggage right.. So u just check in

yes very pricey

last time thought of checking in 100kgs plastic material over at counter during checkin
cost like 1K~
in end just sent over 50kgs

hmmmm

Well, I plan to get 1-2 rackets. But my friends asking me to get a few more and a bag. So I guess check in is the better option for my luggage.....
