So I saw somebody posted this https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=101...&type=3&theater

It says that our hand carry luggage must not exceed 7 kg two bags together . I think Air Asia used to be linear about this and I'm flying on 9th of march . Do you think I need to curi ayam and exceed the weight ? Anyone here got experience on this ? Let me know . smile.gif

If they emphasize it now, mean they will strictly check.
So good luck.

ugh .... But can't really blame them tho since they are offering really cheap flights for us . I think the baggage weight is small price i have to pay . I think they used to not care about the checked in weight , If i'm not mistaken I used to carried around 9 Kg or some shit and they wouldn't even care .

Many years back I usually carry my hiking backpack in the cabin as long as it does not exceed 7kg in weight. But now seems Airasia has implement new rules hiking backpacks not considered as cabin luggage (as shown below).
How strict is Airasia with this rules? Anybody did or saw anybody hand carry hiking backpacks into the cabin?

Good move. Many selfish people carrying tonnes of hand luggage which deprive people who actually need it. Many times i have to store my luggage far away from my seats because some people carry 2-3 boxes of stuff.

Strictly speaking, as long as your backpack can crumple and push into the measuring metal size at the departure hall airport, they can't stop you as a handcarry. If you stuff your backpack full until can't fit into the measuring metal thing, then AA got rights to deny your handcarry item. This is on the size.

For weight, they can ask you to weight during check-in. Actually not just AA, I was asked to lighten my handcarry to below 7.0kg on full fledge airlines.

Therefore, this is not just budget flights, this is quite standard among airlines.

Also as stated, I saw countless oversized handcarry, this delays the boarding and disembarking time, as each person will delay the queue by seconds, to take time to take out things/lift up into compartment/etc., multiple by hundreds of passengers, etc. Also mention above, these oversized luggage took up so much space that some people have to put their handcarry else where.

Therefore, I'm also agree that AA should be strict on oversized handcarry and also 7kg weight. rclxms.gif

Of course, the process will not be always 100% strict, there will be some who will manage to get away with it.

True that... I saw Malindo offering some good deals on top of providing free baggage up to 30 KG .... Air Asia has became money hungry considering their motives on implementing this new rules. I don't get the fuss on hand carry weight limit . As we know everyone have different weight and if they want to charge like this should they charged more on the people who are obese ? We both pay the same ticket but the weight we carried are different . Would it be fair to charge people who is obese extra? Since the Extra kgs are cost too LOL

If price is more expensive, you pay the difference plus the flight change fee. If cheaper then I think you just pay the change fee.
Not sure if the change fee is the same for all flights but it was around RM220 per way.

Yes fully agree.

Pretty much all airlines also follow this rule. Some say that laptop is not included in the weight but some airlines also include laptop into the 7kg weight limit. Jetstar charges the passenger too at the boarding gate when the hand carry is overweight.

Air Asia changed my time of flight without me realizing. Last year bought the ticket stated flying at 0100 but now when I check the timing at website is no longer available (Saja go check see price got increase or not)...

So I asked live chat what's happening. Mana tahu they say 0100 flight no more and moved to 0800 due to operational requirement. Any advise for me eg. my rights or any compensation???

They usually will email and SMS you regarding any flight change. With such changes, most of the time, they will give you an option to change to another flight. For example, one of the emails I received for a flight change last year.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

This one was rescheduled to more than 2 hours and had Option 1 & 2. Whereas the other email I received..

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

This one didn't get any option because it's just a difference of 10 minutes I guess. I still get an email and SMS about it regardless. If you didn't receive anything, just contact them for more assistance.

Go Daiso, buy the biggest zip-lock vacuum bag (the one to put in pillow/bolster/quilt). Put your backpack into the vacuum bag, sit on top to push out the air, zip lock it. As long as it still fit into the metal measuring case, no airline can stop it as a handcarry.

If it doesn't fit into the metal measuring case, then buy add-on check-in luggage thumbsup.gif

Dont' get started on the obese part. There was a big hoohaa in western world on full fledge flights very long time ago. Not even budget flights yet at that time rolleyes.gif Google for more info. I think the conclusion is more towards human rights issue.

That is why you can wear cargo pants or photographer vest with lots of pockets, and stuff 2-10kg (depending how expert you are) of hand carry stuff into the pockets, but not into your 7kg handcarry bag rolleyes.gif But don't over do it, as ground staff can ask you to take out those stuff to weigh.

As long as airlines offer other times or reschedule flights or provide accomodation/meals, if the delay does not exceed 4 or 6 hours (forgot), basically nothing much can be done. Goodwill/Compensation are on airlines basis, you may try lodge a complain to try, no harm.

One laptop backpack will likely to exceed the weight limit of 7kg. The bag, laptop, chargers, mouse, external hdd, tablet and some documents with other small stuff. My working laptop backpack weight around 9kg. Used to fly around weekly for work, with a carry on roller for clothes and toiletries around 7kg. For courtesy wise, roller at the overhead bin, the slim backpack under seat.

Waiting in line to drop the baggage and after landing is time wasting especially for frequent flyer. Don't mind to pay for extra hand carry weight allowance if Airasia is offering it to save time. Worst is they ask to gate check the laptop bag and the thing is lost. The staffs said its due to safety issue for the 7kg weight limit but other countries can have 15 - 20 kg weight limit. Avoided Jestar because the gate staff is too much. Will avoid Airasia too if they too strict.

Tear out the 32L wording/patch. Or cover with another stitched patch of other words/logo.
Or goto buy one of those onion thin foldable travel bag, and put your backpack into it as handcarry.
Current rule is:
1) <7kg
2) fit into the measurement thing
As long satisfy this, what else can ground staff says ?

All items to take out during scanning is normal. Like coins, keys, belt, boots/shoes with metal parts, etc. That's the price to pay.
