I only take my laptop and one powerbank and a cable. All others checked it. hose that insist on bigger bags are just freaking selfish
Up to you. You can always pay to check in at the counter if you want lower cost

ei, then how ? you'll check in baggage?

mine is early april flying,

if check in baggage is 68 per trip

buta kena 136 since there's no way i can fill up 20kilo le

my take is, they are not making enough from the check in luggage sales....

like i said many times, if you add in the amenities fees, aa is often not competitive with mh and/or malindo....so the only people who will book aa are those who only hand carry....and these people are pushing the envelope...carrying onboard more and more...

two possible outcomes from this move....people WILL prebook check in, and aa makes more money....or people move to other airlines once they figure out the total cost of their trip...

you can buy 15kg for domestic....but they removed that from international....so even if you have 10kg, you will have to pay 20....

I guess Tony needed a few quid extra revenue on the baggage dept....

Reali? When is your last flight? m regularly travel between semenanjung and sabah because of studies. Each time my laptop backpack alone is like 7kg excluding the hand carry samo.

putting hiking backpack is not a mistake
their fault is putting "hiking backpack" there without putting exact description...leaving it very vague
those over 45L clearly cannot fit into overhead compartment already, thus need to check in

No need to measure. They have this iron cage where if you drop your bag in the cage and it does not fit, it will be deemed oversized.

Let's hope our 40L pack will not bring us problem!

Do keep us posted on your journey end of the month ya!

what about my 65L backpack?????

it can clearly fit in the overhead compartment laaaa.. still need to check in? fucking hell, every time i backpack overseas, for ease of moving around, i only have that backpack.. now with it being checked in, i need another small bag

65L kinda pushing the to limit abit too much la.

When I use my 65L usually I'll check in also coz confirm got a lot of things and weight sure over.

I suggest you get a 35/40L it's good for almost a week worth a if stuff and small enough that many vendor will say can be used as carry on, that's the reason I got my 40

ok will be getting a smaller backpack soon..

Why using cattle class when so much backpack, depend on route, if BKI-KUL/ KCH-KUL return, Malindo business class more worth. 40 Kg luggage allowance.

lol aa..all also charge charge charge..
next time guna toilet airplane also need charge dy i think..

ala the backpack is used for overseas cheapskate backpacking la.. AA round trip tickets to Hanoi cost less than RM400.. where to find such a steal with Malindo or MAS?

if business traveling to KUL or other cities, usually company will pay for luggage and no way we are using AA

your trip is earlier
mine is end of may

65L?
thats way too huge
width wise, it can fit of course
height wise, its way too tall
u have to remember the backpack is placed vertically on the overhead compartment, not horizontically
so 40L is the maximum for carry on
