so...check in your luggage with your clothes inside

and don't bring ps4

that's AA plan

Before 15 march, they only check strictly on the cabin bag and did not weight on the backpack. After 15 march, they will implement the rule of 7kg for 2 bags. If your flight is before the date, just keep ur cabin bag under 7kg and don't worry bout the backpack. I check with them using livechat after the news is out and this is what the staff said. Hope it helps

depend luck, last time they'd pick randomly> airasia has published this since long time ago, just not strict only.

actually already started but maybe not all airports, better reduce your weight or try add baggage allowances.

last minute add on will incur more charges.

Thanks for sharing this useful information!

Thanks for the tip, I will try to reduce the weight. Cheers!

I think there is a reason for this.

1. Customers who bring too many things with them are usually encumbered and this will slow down their boarding/ offloading time.

2. to be fair to customers who travel light. For example, I travel with knapsack but was disappointed when I was told to put my knapsack under the seat in front of me, as all the overhead compartment has been filled. Why am i being punished for other people's selfishness?

3. to minimize the occupational hazard to cabin crew. It is NOT their job to carry your bags for you. It is also not their job to find a place to squeeze in your oversize luggage. however, most customers think that it is their job to do so

You got my point.

limit shud be more reasonable...IMO 10kg is OK. 7kg is just too low. The bag itself already 1-1.5kg....even for 10kg, the slim type luggage is not full.
i took tiger air last time for australia domestic. The weigh everything during check in. Even your jacket.

poor frontliner AA after , fo sho kena maki everyday

Cattle class airline, tiny seat pitch, insane penalty if exceed baggage weight, that's why premium airline more passengers friendly, low costs airline actually more expensive overall compare to premium airline.

should make 2 types. those measurements and weight limit is too small for even a weekend trip wtf

one type for 1 bag but with slightly bigger measurement and heavier limit
and another one just like this one (multiple bags but smaller and lighter limit)

Need until like this meh

Also Airasia should extra charge those who are big size people(especially Arabs). AA legroom is too small for them to move around and can cause disturbance to the people seating in between.

So many poorfag complains here. Already get a cheap fare, you want to slot into everything for free? Its a good move by AA. This will prevent idiots bringing oversized and overweight bags and stuffin it into the overhead compartment and not allowing others to put their bag in there. Theres a reason why they only allow certain kg into the cabin. To prevent the overhead compartment from collapsing. If want everything free, build your own airlines then. Since many abused it, now pay for what you bring. If youre too poor, then dont bring any additional bags if you cant afford it.

Read the TNC next time. They said one laptop bag and one carry bag. Not 2 or 3 laptops. Both combination shouldn't exceed 7KG or you pay for it. Simple. Whenever something is free or cheap, Malaysians will abuse it.

All they need to do now is enforce current condition strictly i.e. 1 cabin size bag, not exceeding 7 kg, and 1 laptop bag(or small bag meeting the dimension stipulated)

If this is strictly enforced, there should not be a problem with oversized and excessive carry on luggage.

I think what they are planning to do will complicate things. A lot of migrant workers fly using AA. What happens if they , or any other passengers, are unable to pay, the RM200, at the boarding gate? More confusion.

airasia ticket now not that much cheaper now, after add in those add-on...

my smallest luaggage bag is 58 cm (inclusive handle and wheels) X35cm X 23cm...

if all my colleague and me complain to admin maybe no need to take cheapskate AA anymore.

laptop bag + cabin bag for sure > 7kg//
what a dick move..

That is good. Some people doenst use toilet at all

should have been strict long ago, I've seen people bring 2 large/3 large bags and fill up overhead compartment on other rows too. space hogging idiots.

if camera + laptop > 7 kg, how ar?
