How did you buy?
You use internet booking right?
So just print the final confirmation details and bring it to the check in counter.

I just take it that you never board a flight before.

So like I mentioned, you go to the specific check in counter in HK and viola, present your print out of your booked flight or the "booking" number than there you go....back to Malaysia.

If it's not compulsory than it's not.
To be safe, just print the final confirmation. It should be fine.

Flight purchased less than 24hrs, the credit holder should be there. It's in their T&C. For what purposes I'm not sure.
Previously one can still proceed; however, this early of the month or last month (can't remember), there's a case where the father help book a flight for his daughter which is less than 24hrs back to sabah. In the end, she was rejected to board. It came out in the paper.

So I guess they upgraded the booking pages to include this as cautionary measure.
Meaning to say, you can't proceed to help book your friend's flight.

Answer is yes. You can double check if you manage to get through their call line.

I believe you have to pay, and I think it's only for long haul flight i.e. Air Asia X

So you have to luggage, and only pre-booked one; than you have to pay for the other.

practically every 15 minutes got one leaving as there's 3 companys serving the route.
With your internet print out, you can only board the red one. No need to exchange ticket; but remember, you have to print it out from the browser and show it when you went up the bus.

I meant the bus that you've bought should be in the itinerary IIRC. If it is, just bring that.
I think there is a specific instructions there when you book SkyBus online.

Anyway, weight is the main thing; never heard of maximum dimension, unless it's hand carry luggage.

The baggage policy really depends on the person checking you in one lar.
When they are strict, they would say only 1 baggage.
The return trip from Taiwan on Monday, we have total 6 ppl with a baggage allowance of 90kg, but we filled only 60 kg with 8 luggage. Me and my wife is 3 luggage that adds up to 31kg.

But anyway, like uncle stimix mentioned; go Taiwan is to bring one baggage loaded with cloths and 1 empty luggage for shopping.

Uncle: you mentioned "GF"

You might want to weight your luggage out first to see how heavy after fully loaded.
I used a 5.5 liter hiking backpack when fully loaded with cloths is at 13.5kg (returning from Taiwan). Going to Taiwan only weights around 8-9kg (lesser things mah)
I sling day pack which is hand carry, but coming back from taiwan loaded fully takes the weight of 5kg and checked in.
Then I bought a luggage there in Taiwan, 1 hardcase small 1 person luggage which fully loaded with cloths, 1 bottle of alcohol, and snacks - also weighted 13.5kg.

So probably try to load one bag at home first before traveling to see whether or not worth it to spend that much on the baggage checking.

No buying luggage is not cheap. But cloths especially for ladies and kids are cheap. Food however I think slightly higher prices then KL.

The reason why we bought there is because we are on a backpacking tour. So last 5 days in Taipei. So we don't want to bring to many luggage over. That is also why the backpack and day pack.

Anyway, we're strolling way to off topic d.
