KUCHING: AirAsia reminded all passengers to adhere to carry-on requirements to ensure quick boarding and sufficient storage onboard for everyone.

In its press statement yesterday, the low-cost airline said passengers are allowed one cabin bag measuring 56 x 36 x 23cm (including handles and wheels) plus one small bag, such as a laptop bag or handbag measuring 40 x 30 x 10cm. Total permitted weight for the two pieces must not exceed 7kg.



Carry-on baggage that is overweight, oversized or exceed the allowed quantity will be charged excess baggage fees on a per kilo basis or gate baggage fees. You can pre-book checked baggage allowance online when booking flight or through the ‘Manage My Booking’ option.

Multiple items that are strapped, wrapped or tied together will not be counted as one piece of cabin baggage.

Duty-free items purchased at the airport are exempt from carry-on requirements, provided they are packed in a Security Tamper-Evident Bag (STEB) and are within the duty-free allowance of the destination country. Such items must be accompanied by proof of purchase until disembarkation.

All other purchases, including free gifts from duty-free outlets, will count as part of the cabin baggage allowance.

Infants below the age of two are not allocated cabin baggage allowance, while children aged two and above will receive the same allocation as adults.

Passengers travelling with infants or children are reminded that prams, strollers and buggies cannot be brought onboard but can be checked in for free.

To find out more about cabin baggage requirements, visit airasia.com and look up ‘Baggage Info’ under the ‘Travel Information’ section or visit the AskAirAsia portal (askairasia.com).

Fine.

i doubt they'll measure the dimensions until so detailed, it's gonna forever to measure everyones bag lol

About time. And guess who would always rush in during boarding? Those with the damn huge backpack.

Fark lah. My two laptops alone already weight nearly 5kg

gonna follow the steps of ryanair etc, weigh baggages in the rack at the gate.

good move.

Finally. Thanks god.

It was so irritating seeing those ppl bring in large pack to airport like nobody business. Then when landed want be the first to go out cause entire airplane ppl stuck waiting them to take the luggage

now they earn more money via penalty. lol

no need measure... if you bag cannot fit into the fixed size stand... then pay denda...

not taking air asia anytime soon anyway

5kg is freaking small package to carry onboard....

Very light travel....

i thought all airport hv this thing where u can toss ur hand luggage inside to know the size? if it fit then ok, if its not then ur hand luggage is oversize

new revenue streams detected

video apa sarahan saya coming soon

RM200 is ridiculous.

damn sorry my bad didnt know airasia like this one

Total both 7 kg ?

Laptop itself also 7 already

except for airasia as other forumers have pointed out. i'd rather fly others now provided the others doesn't follow aa style

No need to measure. Just put your bag in this. If it fits, you can carry in.

obviously AA doesn't wan to get more money from you *wink wink*

pakai jacket/overcoat that can function as luggage

Then if laptop 8 means check in also?

yeah i only i know. last time it depends on which airport you are departing, i went to brunei airport and their AA staff very strict. i had to put everything into my pockets just to satisfy the 7kg limit.

now no longer cheap

we can change airlines liao

other airlines give free luggage 25kg above.. wat said u

deswai need MacBook air

Even worst if you are a photographer.

Laptop 5KG, DSLR with several lens and kits also at least 5KG.

laptop sure long if check in
they throw like no tomorrow

If all these exceed 7 , how to check in these ?-

pay 200 bucks

fuck airasia. I would check in if their bloody luggage belt didn't have to take forever to wait.

as their T&C, pay RM200.

No, it will cost you 200 to check it in

Not pay 200' can carry on

this gonna sell like hotcake

+9
im using hiking backpack
ain't no way im checking it in, camera is fragile

Bodo , read the terms 'PAY 200 THEN TRANSFRRED TO CARGO BEFORE BOARDING '

blame those that r abusing 7kg per 2 bags prior to this. like holysheet. if u r the last in line to board the airplane, most likely u wont have any more space to put ur cabin bag n have to squeeze it underneath the seats.

my backpack alone already put on some weight....and now they are so strict abt it

fck laa

I'd rather pay the fine than letting someone throw my laptop weighing 8kg near the runway. lel

Yahoooo!

Up next: extra weight charge for the obese
and if the oxygen mask drops down, please pay RM47.55 in exact change for it to be activated.

u have to check in the excess luggage after payment is made.

yala i know.

can i bring 2 bag which not exceed 7 kg?

Support this move... I fucking hate some ppl that bring those oversize cabin luggage then try to look for overheard compartment to fit it then unable to find the space just simply masuk the compartment and leave it lik tat only until cabin crew come and unable to close the compartment door then help it to find space for it. The passenger pulak sit there lik nothing happen.

Bag still need to check on to cargo

Better I throw my equipment away then

what if buy stuff inside duty free longue

additional bag already already

that's the thing,

they say hiking backpack not allowed wo?

that's my default traveling bag, size wise confirm within limit, weight wise usually i travel lightly

so which is which? aa fb not responding, and their website not giving much info either!

my flight leave in a month, should not have save the 100 bucks and opt for other airline instead.

thats my case as well
my backpack is 40L..able to fit in their overhead compartment
surely within 7KG
but they straight say hiking backpack not allowed, did not even mention dimension
going HCM on end of may

backpackers gonna triggered with this new ruling.

pay up rm200 saja lah for ease of mind.

oh wai-

no need. Just provide a kotak, if ur bag cannot fit then it cannot pass.

If it is same as cabin bag size no problem for everyone.
If oversized only you hog the compartment..

luckily i bought luggage allowance to new zealand

so deosnt care much

the method to maximize profits, every boss would want to take it.

FLy twice every three months btw. Lol

Anybody fly recently? Is AirAsia strictly enforcing this?

good good
always saw someone bring fucking big bag on board

Empty luggage alone weigh heavier than 5kg

yes, wait you at the immigration counter somemore..

aim for those big bag or more than two luggages

I am. Never had once.

Perhaps my flight were strictly between Borneo and Peninsular Malaysia all these while.. Once, even seen an uncle allow to bring his air Tuak on board

Said most of his friend in Semenanjung crave to taste.

No need measure la. Got a fix size box there. If ur bag cant go in means its bigger than the limit d

They have a steel mould cassing that you must fit your bag in

If it cannot fit nicely means it's oversized

Only takes 5 to 10 seconds for this test

enforcing 1st April onwards ma...
Then come that day they say April fools... RM200 plz.

I fly from S'wak too. its gon be such a pain in the ass. Tuak u can mmg bring wad. Done it a few times. Cops at the security just go meh and let me thru

because their term is vague, they can pull over anyone they like to
and say their backpack is oversize

then chug it into the steel mould thingie at the entrance and if it fits, can pass no?

march 15th lah

see how they enforce it first
their term is already vague from the beginning
their enforcement prolly gonna be vague

just checked in the baggage, why so kiasu

soon....

how about oversize hair do

lipoted for insulting the First lady of Malaysia

no la. he is suggesting to wear the bag on your head like a wig to bypass the 7kg limit

airasia what airlines is that?

if it looks bigger than acceptable, they will measure and ask you to not bring it on board.

wow.. these regulations are very strict....

Faster off the plane

I travel for work , each time 2-3 nights only so hand carry is fast on fast off

No need queue at baggege drop, no need wait to collect

Baggage arrival at klia 2 is very very slow

Traveled back from perth few days ago, saw aa staffs starting to check the size of backpack and remind those with big backpack (mostly hiking backpack) about this rules. When entering the departure gate, there are staffs that weight your baggage with weighing scale. They even announced it in the plane that from 15 march onwards, 7kg for 2 bags.

From 1st post:

Dear Guest

Air Asia CABIN BAGGAGE (Hand Carry Baggage) : NEW POLICY

Effective 1st April 2017, AirAsia will be implementing our new cabin baggage (Hand Carry Baggage) policy.

p.s. see others saying 15 march as well.

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....

http://www.airasia.com/my/en/baggage-info/cabin-baggage.page
check out the page, i think they remove the "hiking backpack" from the page already...its not at the important notice column
wanna take a risK???

Haha...

Thanks for the update 😂😂.

If it's not there then safe la, can argue if kena

At least they know they made a terrible and stupid mistake

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.
