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.
*
plan to use tape to cover the 32L word....
good idea....
let try it

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.

Hmm. when I questioned them they said only send an updated itinerary. So I should just tell them it bring inconvenience to me and request to change the day?

I think they changed because of the hawaii route that stopover Osaka. My flight is on October this year to Osaka and when I realized only they said yet to tell me. Maybe still got long way to go.

Thanks for your previous reply icon_rolleyes.gif .

my backpack can put into the metal measuring case. but what they claim is hiking backpack above 30L will not allow.
and the backpack got big big word say 32L. lol
my flight is end of this month, no idea can or not.

cargo pants pocket, i done before on ryanair.
i put in notebook power bridge inside.
then all tshirt, role and put inside pocket.
i even wear jacket that have 4 huge pocket, 1 put few underwear, 1 put few pair of socks, 1 put 3 short pants, and 1 put handphone charge. lol

but at security there, all need to take out from pocket, i like WTF. lol

At security of course la you take out everything. If you pakai boots or some security also ask you to strip off your shoes ma. This one is expected in all airport security.

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.

Yup, my brother carries his gaming laptop around. Laptop itself already 5kg+ plus all the accessories and bag so he had to pay for excess weight when traveled with Jetstar.

If Airasia is gonna include laptop/camera/books into the weight, maybe you might want to fly with other airlines then.

Yea prolly ask them to change to your preferred flight time or ask for a credit refund. Maybe they are in the midst of still rescheduling to fit in the new Hawaii route. It's best to reconfirm with them and get black and white proof of whatever they agree with you.

Yea that's true. Nowadays promo also not very cheap anymore and not easy to get tickets also.
If so, just try to adjust the new scheduled time into you itinerary lor. Hopefully your hotel bookings and leaves can still be amended.

No la. I just fly to NZ a lot haha. biggrin.gif

NZ not cheap to travel and Auckland is boring. Hehe

Not AA or low cost airlines, but a full fledge flight. You can nego with ground staff to only weight the whole bag, minus the laptop itself. i.e. whole bag, adapters, cables, accessories, etc. all in. I did that before and some ground staff think that is fair enough. No choice as some smart people stuff non laptop stuff into the laptop bag, and then another 7kg handcarry. Spoil market mad.gif

Next, we will have smart people stuff things in laptop battery slot, DVD slot, in between keyboard/LCD, ranting.gif I was asked to boot up my laptop before also to prove it is a working laptop puke.gif

Just change to a flight 1-2 days earlier, then extend your stay and rearrange plans. Meanwhile, save and budget a bit more money for the expenses and stay. Happen to me many years ago AA to Bali, flight cancel without reason, then after discuss, we go there 1-2 days earlier. Coming back same, no change.

Later found out the original arrival day is Nyepi Day, no wonder la. But it was an eye opening experience of the local culture there and it was really a blessing in disguise thumbup.gif

Let's wait for feedback from travellers flying soon.
The rule's always there, but the recent amendment just made it sound more strict.
