one for AA but i heard some ppl who bring a laptop,they have a prob to bring it inside the aircraft.Dont know for what reason

hmm... but most of my friends bring my laptop bag and their backpack together and have no problem with it...

chinaman way of doing business?? tell that to the owners of ryannair or easyjet in europe, pioneers of the low cost models. they've been charging for baggage for quite a while now.

http://www.jetstar.com/au/fare-types.html
~JetSaver Light fare does not include any Checked Baggage Allowance. Cabin Baggage limits are strictly applied. JetSaver Light passengers who have more Baggage than the applicable Cabin Baggage Allowance will need to change to a JetSaver fare. Conditions and charges apply. Call Jetstar Reservations for details. Jetsaver Light is not available on Jetstar Asia (3K) or Valuair (VF)

For simplicity, let me summarise.
Check in baggage cost RM5 per piece or RM3 if booked together with ticket; but overall still cannot exceed the weight of 15kg per person.
If exceed than still have to pay excess baggage fees.

Also, so after all your complain; is Air Asia still cheaper than MAS in terms of flight between KL-Sandakan?
For my case, I always check between MAS and AA whenever I book ticket and choose the cheapest or if the difference is less than RM60.
At least I got another choice instead of the monopoly by MAS.

And to see that ppl complaining about MAS fares so high and some even applaud the launch of AA, but see now everyone turns and criticise about AA....wow; just proves that humans are hard to please species. Even with RM0 air ticket but with fuel and airport tax some still complains about lies in marketing and advertisement so forth....wow! 

Again, I think it had been reiterated over and over again airport tax is being charged by MAHB. So it's fair that MAHB charge the same amount of airport tax for the same flight or same type of planes etc....

btw, pls separate your sentences as it's pretty hard to read.

about the excess baggage, do u need to pay cetain amount if u baggage weight is more than 15kg? What is the maximum weight they allowed?

Unlike AA, MAS didnt allowed their passanger to check in if the baggage is over limit.I saw one pakistani student who want to check in his baggage but exceed the limit.And the ticketing women said, he cant check in if he didnt throw away some of his stuff until it below ......kg limit even the guy willing to pay..So,i think its nice if ur baggage is exceed the limit but can still check in ur baggage if u willing to pay certain amount.

those day can la but now they wont allowed...But first and business class limit is more than economy class

Checked Baggage Weight Regulations
 

Beginning 01 March 2008, Malaysia Airlines will impose a baggage weight limit on all flights. The maximum weight per baggage is 32 kg (70 lbs).

In order to avoid check-in delays at the airport terminal, please ensure that your luggage doesn't weigh more than 32 kilos (70lbs), or you will be asked to repack and transfer some of your belongings into another bag. Any baggage exceeding 32 kg (70 lbs) will need to be transported as freight (cargo).

This restriction is necessary in order to comply with current Health and Safety regulations for baggage handlers. Please note that the maximum weight limit relates only to single items and does not affect the baggage allowance or excess baggage charges.

Please contact MAS offices or MAS travel agents in advance should you haveany special baggage i.e. bulky baggage with total linear dimensions exceeding 158 cm (62 inches), bulky musical instruments, sports equipment,photo & film equipments, etc.

Baggage Allowance Entitlement on board
First Class 40kg
Golden Club Class 30kg
Economy Class 20kg

Excess baggage fee
Appropriate journey rate per kilogram

Travel within Peninsula Malaysia (West Malaysia) RM5 per kg

Travel within East Malaysia RM5 per kg

Travel between West Malaysia and East Malaysia RM8 per kg

oww..so is that mean u can have lots of baggage but didnt exceed 32kg lor? HUH...i thought if ur baggage is more than 32 kg per bag, u have to pay extra money even its exceed 32kg...

I'll really love to see what u guys do if u were the one running the company. There are lots of airlines closing down due to the fuel price hike, is just a way of staying alive, Tony won't charge baggage fee if the fuel price remain the same.

I too agree that some Airasias' staffs are really "teruk" , there're this kind of people everywhere and so happened that Airasia is such a big icon and easy to pick on, I don't see people picking on eg. Jusco's cashier who really suck.

been trying to contact an air asia sales agent through their customer service hotline but so far didn't get any answer on the phone! i just get a reply that all sales agent are busy due to overwhelming response to our promotion blah blah blah.  i was calling since yesterday, waiting for at least 15mins each before i gave up on the call. today i called again and waited for 30mins but still no one answered. 

if this is the kind of service that they provide then i'd rather not book their zero fare tickets even if its really cheap.

My girlfriend will be flying over to Melb tonight iwth AAX. Does anyone knows whether TV will be provided?

Quote from BooN....

"In regards to food, it's best not to bring "tapaued" food on board and eat. Especially those non-halal as it's disrespectful."

It must be a standard that applies to all passengers.

We can't forbid non-halal food because some passengers are non-halal. The same goes with non-beef, vegetarian etc.

Do you know that eating beef is disrespectful to hindus and certain chinese buddhist ?

Do you know that eating meat is disrespectful to vegetarians ?

So why the double standards ? 

mm talking bout liquid based substance , i think it's now limited to something like 100ml only rite? (international regulation)

yup, snacks and biscuits should be fine

After purchasing bus ticket online with flight, what is the procedure at KL Sentral?
