Should be immediate or within a day or so.

There was a female staff standing next to a scale with a huge 7KG sign next to it. Many people pass thru but no one was asked to stop and weigh the bags.

Not sure if there will be another check at the departure gate or not. Will know soon

Glad to hear that

No checking at the departure gate. Flight in 45 minutes and haven't start boarding so I doubt they'll be checking at boarding gate also. Definitely hold up the queue

Like normal only. No check so far.

Only international flights can claim. Read backwards a few pages, I'm sure you'll come across some info on what you're looking for. Also you can check AirAsia help page for the service fee.

Tune Insurance?
How long was the delay? Did they give any sort of documentation?

Of course you need America visa, you are entering America. I just came back from HNL in January. Maybe in the future but with the politics like that, I don't see that happening in the near future.
It's not that difficult to get American visa anyways, just very expensive - RM700+ if I recall correctly. But it lasts 10 years so that isn't too bad if you go to the states a number of times.

No, you do not need Japan visa. Malaysians not required to apply for visa to travel to Japan anyways (as long as your passport has the chip logo).

Haha. Yea I've been assigned to hot seat twice before. Once for my flight from Gold Coast back somemore window hot seat right in the front row. It was a booking for 4 pax and 3 pax bought seats while mine didn't purchase any seats so auto assigned to hot seat

I recline seats all the way most of the time. Especially for long distance AAX flights, how to sit in the upright position for so long.

Just buy seats.
You wanna be seated together, you pay for the seats.
Nothing new here.

3 hours should be fine. It depends what time your flight also. Sometimes a lot of people, sometimes a lot of counter open too. Generally give yourself 2-3 hours is safe, with some time to makan minum.
There are many check-in kiosk but I prefer to web check in beforehand. So far the few times I've used the kiosk, I didn't have to queue, or maybe just 1 person max in front of me.

Give yourself minimum 30 min from check in counter to departure gates.

Don't think so. I'm quite sure you will have to come out then go in again.

Nope. I can say I fly AirAsia to international destination quite often but have never had such experience.

What kind of problem? Just check in at the counter. Could be problem with your browser also sometimes. Reset it then try again and see.

Should be no problem. Sometimes it puts me as male and doesn't allow me to change also. So far no issues as long as name and DOB correct.

From where to where wor? Call AirAsia and see if they can do anything about putting you on an earlier flight?

Anyone flew with AirAsia from overseas to KLIA2 to go to another international destination before? Are you able to come out of the airport in between flights? Both flights under one booking.

How many hours did you give yourself in between flights?

Not enough. Minimum I would say 3 hours at least.

I don't think you can ask for refund if you web check in to the flight but no show.

Same restrictions.

If you did a search for return then it'll be a return trip. If you search for 1-way then it'll show only 1-way. This is the same for online booking with all airlines.

No check in luggage in included in the fare. You'll have the option to add on how many KGs you want in the page after you key in your details. Everything you add on is additionally charged. You can choose not to fly with any check in luggage and just go with your hand carry (which is limited to 7kg and the size restrictions which I'm sure most people are aware right now).

Not uncommon. Hence why I always make it a point to be at airport at least 3-4 hours before flight if I have anything to check in.

It's raya holiday, what you expect?
How much is it?

Depends, but usually a few days. As long as the promo seats on that particular flight is not taken up, you might still get it tomorrow.
If it's during the peak season and a popular route, it might be gone the next hour.

That's really rocket sky high.

Have you check with MAS and other airlines?

Don't think you have much choices with such short time and raya holidays.

From what I understand about booking hotels in Japan via airasiago/booking.com/Agoda and similar sites. There's always a maximum number of guests allowed per room (usually 2 pax). So if you stick to that, I don't see why they will charge an additional fee for extra guests.

All my Japan accommodations so far I've not have any issues like that.

It's a risk I wouldn't wanna take unless the items are really precious and fragile then I will risk it.

Handbag/Notebook bag and Laptop is included in the 7kg. Unless you wear on layers of clothes maybe.

Yea I guess you could do that too.
