Bangalore to Sydney free check in allowance depends on which fare type ticket has been bought by you. It is 20 kg for Eco Promo, 25 kg for Eco Basic, 30 kg or Eco Smart, 35 kg for Eco Flex.

Though cardboard box can be taken as a check in baggage in general, it shall be flat and not irregular in shape. Second, the weight and dimension limits for the cardboard box are same as that of check in bag. So, single checkin bag shall not be more than 32 kg weight and 158 cm in linear dimensions. Same applies to cardboard box. It is checked in on a Limited Release tag.

If you have Economy Smart ticket, it will have allowance of 30 kg in check-in. If you have Economy Flex ticket, then allowance is of 35 kg per person. So, it depends on which Economy ticket have you bought. Please note that no check in bag shall be more than 32 kg in weight. So, if your allowance is of 35 kg, then it has to be divided into two check-in bags.

The problem is the size of bicycle baggage. It is more than 204 cm which means that it will have to sent through cargo services of the airline and will not be checked-in. Bicycle boxed up to 158 cm in sum of dimension are allowed without charge as part of check in baggage and from 158 cm to 204cm, oversize charges are to be paid.

Only Economy Lite tickets do not have free check-in baggage allowance on domestic routes within Malaysia on Malaysian Airlines. You might have booked this fare type which allows only 7 kg cabin baggage. Economy Basic allowed 20 kg free allowance in check in and Economy Flex allows 25 kg in check in baggage on domestic route. Business class passengers are allowed 40 kg free allowance.

Please note that we are not the airline and are an independent website. We can not comment on behalf of MAS. However, let us clarify some of your doubts here. People, at times, travel with check in bags which are of irregular shape which gets struck inside the security scanner machines making it hugely inconvenient for passengers to fly due to delays. These irregular shaped check in bags could be those tied with ropes around or some fabric, etc. That is the reason why your baggage was made to repackage and you were charged for it.
This rule has been introduced by some airlines around the world since last few months.

Whether the baggage can be through checked in will be told to you at the time of checking in at airport and you can request for the same there. It depends on a number of factors, depending on your itinerary. So, please ask the airline for it when at airport. Else, please follow up with the airline local office giving your booking ref number in order to know the details.
In general, if the airline is same, the connections are provided by it, you have single ticket for all legs of journey and there is no layover which requires you to leave the airport, through check-in is provided. Again, generally it does not cost extra, provided it is allowed. So, please check with the airline local office for confirmation.

It is overweight as max check in baggage for economy class is 30 kg. So 4.5 kg excess in check in baggage. Excess charge will have ot be paid. You can pay for it online on the website of the airline or call their customer service. You can even book a 5 kg slab at least 72 hrs in advance of scheduled departure time of the flight and get a 20% discount on airport rates of excess baggage (USD 64 per kg)

Cabin baggage of 7 kg includes the laptop. We would suggest that laptop be carried in standard laptop bag which can be used for keeping any other thing. You shall transfer some items to check in baggage and buy excess baggage by loging in to the Malaysia airlines website Manage Booking section. Else you can contact the airline office over phone. Online payment gives you discounted rates.

LED TV is to be carried in check in baggage within the allowance limits, if it is to be taken for free. So, its size has to be 158 cm linear dimension and weight of check in bag+TV shall not exceed permitted allowance limit. If it exceeds, then excess baggage charges would apply.
IF your ticket says it is 40 kg allowance, are you travelling a business class? Please check for your baggage allowance with the airline local office.

In economy class travel, 30 kg is free check in baggage allowance per person and there is no limit on number of bags to be carried. We believe that you might not have checked the airline website as the allowance for baggage is not dependent on the number of bags being carried. In your case, there is no problem with the way you are taking the three bags and there will not be any charge for 26 kg bag.

If you are carrying more than permitted allowance for your ticket in check in baggage, you will have to pay excess baggage charges.

Personal item can be taken in addition to cabin baggage allowance.

However, there is a restriction on the size of the surfboards to be carried. You can bring only up to 2.5 meters length surfboards in check-in.

A number of factors have to be considered. For ex: whether the whole travel is on same pnr or different tickets have been bought? Whether there is a stopover at intermediary location or not?

So, we would suggest that you check with the Etihad airline local office on what allowance would be for the next leg as well.
