flying soon to Perth via AAX

just check the luggage fees is bloody expensive now!

btw, any chance of bringing a cabin size 20" hardcase roller luggage onboard as hand carry?

did that frequently on domestic, no one bother to stop me, but haven't tried that on AAX hmm.gif

hi guise wanna ask can i transfer the 20kg luggage (paid & attached to passenger A ) to passenger B if passenger A didnt check in?

both under the same transaction/reservation.
*
cannot transfer, even if passenger A check-in, and didn't board you also cannot use his/her purchase luggage,
when they find out passenger A didn't board the flight, they will take out your luggage from the cargo before flight

My workstation laptop is already > 5kg
not including the extra batt, charger, and other accessories, all together my laptop bag is already slightly more than 7kg, haven't add in my powerbank which AA refused as a check-in cargo

used to have no problem boarding AA with my laptop bag, and a light hand carry for my clothing & toiletries, which is < 4kg doh.gif

I think now I'll have to get my company to purchase extra check-in luggage just for that small hand carry as there's no way I'm gonna check in my laptop bag into cargo

Also at times I hand carry my phantom drone with all it's spare batts, which is also > 7kg, there's no way I'm gonna check in that into cargo as well doh.gif

Seems like my company will prefer either Mas or Malindo more in the near future

Not always the case. Some professional photographers (underwater photographers too) mostly hand carry their precious equipments and that thing can be super duper heavy. Plus these people usually carry laptop and external HDD as well. I can see easily go above 7kg.

So they will have to look into investing in Pelican case or similar hard bags with lots of protection for their gears. Or just fly other airlines laugh.gif

no need pro photographer, my amatur camera backpack (1 slr body, 3 lens, flash, batts, laptop + charger) already almost 10kg
no issues bringing it on-board all these while, seems i'll have major issue bringing them for my future trips if using AA

easiest solution and peace of mind, fly other airlines laugh.gif

for the latest baggage policy not exceed 7kg if one luggage and backpack both not exceed more than 7kg can this pass?
*
need to check your COMBINED weight is not > 7kg, even if your hand carry luggage is 5kg, and your backpack is 4kg
then AA will do this to you

well, slow & long queues usually I put the blame on the passengers

All of my bag drops, either travelling alone or with my family, from single luggage to 4 pcs luggage, none of them took more than 5 minutes, but I see some passengers took longer than usual due to their over weight luggage, and try to sweet talk their way out from paying the extra luggage fees.

Also from my experience, usually they'll open a special counter for those flights already calling, and announce it via PA system for those passengers for bag drop there, usually they'll do this when there is a long long queue.
And again, some passengers had their head buried in their phone instead of listening to the PA announcement, I've seen many of such passengers.

1.5 hours
Yeap.. Lesson learnt.. Nope.. Bought another flight with MAS

Oh my... 1.5 hours that's a very very close shave for connecting flights
Knowing AA's punctuality, I'll never take that risk

my upcoming connecting flight (separate booking, between KLIA & KLIA2) end of this month is 3 hours due to change of schedule, and I'm already worrying like hell. sweat.gif
so it's either 12 hours wait, or take risk with the 3 hours, and wifey decision goes with the latter sweat.gif
keeping me fingers crossed sweat.gif

just cargo your liquor, tried few times, never encountered any issues
even brought back a 50% tequila once, friends brought back some maotai & wuliangye in cargo from China also, no issues too
just worry about kastam checking your permitted amount of liquor when back to M'sia wink.gif

Thanks for the reply but Sad to hear that. So no point sending in Feedback Eform to explain the missteps and to ask for refund?
What about under this condition of double-booking:
https://support.airasia.com/s/article/What-...language=en_GB:

Our systems will not allow you to make the same booking (same name, same payment method, same flight date & time) within 24 hours.

Guests can request for a refund if the booking was duplicated e.g. guests performed more than 1 booking for flights with the same guest names, destinations, date and time. Departure date of the second booking must be within 24 hours from the departure date of the first booking.

Please note the following:
All refund requests must meet the following criteria:
o  Both bookings must be for the same date(s), flight sector(s) and destinations (origin and destination)
o  Both bookings must have the same guest name list
o  Must be submitted before the departure date of your flight.
o  We will maintain your first booking (based on the creation date and time) as a confirmed booking. Any approved refund requests will be processed for the 2nd or subsequent booking(s).

However, if you use a different payment method or you accidentally make the same booking after 24 hours it will result in a double booking (two tickets with different reference numbers). If that is the case, please fill up the e-form to request for a refund: in "Case Category" select "Feedback" and in "Type" select "Website Booking/Check-In";. Fill up all mandatory fields marked with an "*". You will need to provide the reference number of both of your bookings.
*
but your case is same name, same payment method, same date but different flight & time, so it's not considered double booking

it's unlikely they'll give you the full refund and it's personal mistake instead of system error of double booking

but nonetheless you still can try to appeal, no matter how low the chances are, still better than not trying at all, right? wink.gif

Excuse me, I wanted to book a ticket to Japan and I’m not sure if I need to include bin/binti on my flight booking details. Some say no need, some say need (according to friends). I read a case where a passanger had trouble somewhere in middle eastern country where she didn’t put binti in her flight ticket.

follow exact name that is printed on your passport,
passport ada binti, then include,
passport tak ada binti, then no need

Hi, I will be travelling Sandakan - Kota Kinabalu - Hong Kong on Airasia. I am just making a short trip and will not have any checked in lugage. I have checked in online for both sectors.

What is the procedure when I reached Kota Kinabalu from Sandakan? Can I just walk to the immigration counter inside departure hall to transfer to internation departure terminal or do I have to do document verification at check in counter? I have only 2 hour transit so I really want to save time on unnecessary procedures.

thx

straight to immigration counter will do

Hello everyone,

I have made a return flight booking with AirAsia for early March to/from Taiwan. Due to the coronavirus outbreak I would like to postpone or get a refund from AA.

I have tried using their chat messenger AVA through their website and FB page but can't seem to get an answer.

Do you guys know how I can contact AA customer service email address or telephone number. TQ.
*
Taiwan its not restricted zone like China for the virus outbreak, doubt you can get refund or reschedule for it

Taiwan so far the cases it's like Malaysia, few cases discovered and are in control, so it's relatively safe to travel over there, as all visitors has been to China for past 2 weeks are banned from entering

IMO, it's the best time to visit Taiwan, as there will be zero annoying China tourists thumbup.gif

anyway, it's your own decision, most likely your tickets will be burned if you decided not to go

Actually the Chinese Govt banned their citizen from visiting Taiwan (free & easy or personal) since Aug 2019. Only tour groups allowed.

So it turns out to be a blessing in disguise.
*
those China free & easy/personal tourist usually are the more civilized one, those from the tour group are the worst

visited Taiwan few times, all of the bad experience are caused by the China tour group's uncivilized behavior, even saw a whole china tour group got force escorted out from national palace museum by the security team for causing ruckus & disturbance in there, I also only get a glimpse at the famous jade cabbage for a short 3 seconds before got shoved and pushed aside by those rowdy locusts.
not to mention it's almost impossible to get a good shot of any famous scenery without those "locust" in the picture doh.gif

So actually now it's the best time to visit the national palace museum where you can admire all of the artifacts leisurely and in peace

If I were still single and doesn't have that much of family commitments, I would have grab this pass without thinking

Nowadays the only time I could fly is basically during school holidays & weekends, which the pass aren't applicable to
