Is mas strict with their carry on luggage??

I only see 5kg allowed which is prett little for me.. The problem is My bag will fit dslr, lenses and my laptop...

Will they exclude the weight??

And I have another problem with the dimension.. Total dimension of the bag is 120cm whereby the website only allow 115cm and below, I have friends who used this bag for carry ons an it fits the over head cabin but none have flied with mas so far unfortunately..

Do advice!

Thank you very much!

I am a frequent traveller with MAS. For stuff like camera,laptop,pc they are quite lenient. Once I took my CPU with me to the cabin and they are fine with that. I wrapped the CPU with plastic wrapper from KLIA and handcarry to the cabin from KL to KK. At that time, I have laptop with me.

5cm difference is ok. Not much .As long as the luggage is not too heavy.

Hey guys! I would like to share my recent experience with MAS

So I brought over my Camera gear to Australia flew on a A330 if i am not mistaken.

Basically my camera bag's dimension was bigger than the allowed dimension and my cameras equipment are around 12kg..

What I did was I brought two bags along.. 1 backpack(the bigger one) and a sling back.. Both are camera bags and distributed the weight.. She asked me what was in the bag and I answered her honestly and she let me through althou the sling bag I left it under my chair as promised!

Thank God the backpack can be fitted in the cabin, among all the flights I took Airasia, Tiger and MAS, I felt mas cabin is the smallest.

Hope this information can be beneficial to all smile.gif
