Hi,

Any idea whether the MAS check in counter opens 24 hours? We'll be arriving at KLIA from BKK at 0040hrs 21/10, and for us to check-in to the hotel, we need to get international boarding pass. However our flight time is 1400hrs 21/10. How early can we check in? If check in already, can drop the luggage only after I check out from the Airside hotel? Bit blur 'cos it's been 10 years since i depart/arrive @ KLIA due to using Airasia frequently. Anyone can advise on this?

Thanks

Not forgetting to mention, you can check-in your bags 1 hour before flight time if you've already used the self check-in system.

Can't really help you here as I didn't try out Airside before. I always just crash on the long benches in the airports, KLIA is one of them.

Here's a tip, don't email, try calling or go direct to the offices or ask them at the airport. Although e-mails are fast, sometimes the replies are really slow for even big companies.

Actually why compare a low-cost carrier with a full-fledged one? I use AA as well but then, now it's like comparing "Hilton to Tunes".

Yup, actually aware of that, no direct to Liverpool, but to Heathrow airport. Best if could direct to Liverpool, but price is my major concerned. Anyone here always travel to UK before. Would like to know range of airfare that could consider as a catch... tongue.gif

Transit? If you don't mind, there are a lot of other choices out there that can be chosen with the correct "click" in the correct time. rclxms.gif

Well, if you want to pay premium, that's up to you as well. biggrin.gif

@bex -

1. Go show - You showed up in the airport, checked in and stuff but ended up not being able to go due to issues like passport issue and etc, a refund can be made for a certain fee for international flights but not domestic.

2. Cancellation/refund before departure - For a certain fee, they will charge you based on what they calculated.

3. Cancellation/refund after departure - same answer as 2.

For passengers to international or regional destinations with or without check-in baggage, please be present at the MAS Check-in or Rework Counter NOT LATER than 60 minutes to departure for travel documents verification and web check-in boarding pass endorsement.

You are advised to arrive early at the check-in counter to ensure you have enough time for travel document verification and web check-in boarding pass endorsement, baggage check-in, security, immigration process and other airport formalities Malaysia Airlines reserves the right to cancel your check-in if you have not endorsed your
web check-in boarding pass in time, or if you fail to arrive at the departure gate in time, or if you do not have the valid travel documents.


Here you go. Still, it would be wise to go earlier. Let's say 45 minutes earlier at least. That is cutting it really close there too. smile.gif

Thanks for the info! Had wanted to ask some info about KLIA transit but found it here:

Check-in time. Since you have already done your check-in online, there should not be any issues after you have checked-in. Just proceed to your gate as usual. thumbup.gif

Their deals very random. Sometimes they don't show it at all. Just check it once awhile then you'd notice it.

When are you going? Previously, when I booked for return last year was approx 500+ but then 1 week later it was only 300+ ~.~ And that was approx 1 month before I fly as all my trips are quite random and unplanned.

No need at all. If you have luggage, the counter staff will print your tickets for you as well.

A bit hard. All you can do is hope. That's it. Depends on luck now since your travel dates are so near. How about other airlines? Are their sales over? Emirates maybe to London?

I thought insurance is automatically included?  hmm.gif

AA has to pay separately, but I expected everything is included for a national airline.

If you think about what happened to MH370, do you think MAS only pay those who bought insurance?? I think they pay all.

Its optional for MAS. Not compulsory.

Emergency... My domestic flight at 5.30pm later... It says boarding 4.30pm....

Unfortunately I can only reach klia by 430pm....do u think I M possible to make it?

Still got 1 luggage. Did web check in. But I think I still need a printed ticket which I don't have now...

Urgent

Your luggage might not make it. Don't need printed ticket. Use app. I always use app.

I think I need to explain a bit more. You'd still need to go to counter, need to Q, unless priority etc. Thus, even if you can make it, your luggage might not.
