If my baggage exceeds by 10 kg making it 55kg on 3 pieces of checked in baggage, will the airline accept a combined baggage weight of 135kg with my friends who are on the same booking reference ie same flight too. We are checking in together. In other words can we share the 135kg?

You replied saying there is no size or weight limit. Can I again confirm that there will be no problem taking a bicycle with the tyres deflated and packed securely in a cardboard box. It’s important that I verify there will be no problem with a normal size and weight adult bicycle when travelling on an economy ticket? Thank you

I am travelling to Sydney from Bangalore and purchased extra weight and can carry up to 35 kg. 35 kg has to be one baggage or can be split across like 23kg + 7kg + 5kg?

Admin Reply :

If your ticket says that you are allowed 35 kg, then it is an Economy Flex ticket and the weight mentioned is only of check in baggage. Cabin bag of 7 kg is separate and in addition to it.

Now, this 35 kg check in allowance is to be taken in 2 bags since it is not allowed to take more than 32 in one bag.

I bought a return trip Melbourne to hanoi from the helloworld page. In green letters said checked bagged included . Once I'd booked and paid I looked at the baggage allowance, it didn't matter if it was 15 or 20kg I just wanted to know. Then I find it's 0kg !!!!! Why put checked baggage included and then put 0kg . What an absolute swizz. I'd have gone with jetstar if I wanted 0kg baggage and paid 500 less .it's absolutely disgusting. I actually chose this flight for the shortish stop overs , but now I'm limited to 7kg of in cabin baggage. If I want to add 5kg just for me extra it'll cost me 500 !!!!

You will have to raise your complaint with the agency which booked ticket.

I booked with trip.com to go to Perth from LHR return with Malaysian Airlines I checked my luggage allowance only days before I travelled to find out I had 20kg checked luggage on my return flight but there was none on my outbound flight I rang trip.com and they said they would send me a link to pay for 20g outbound I said could I do it on Malaysian airlines website the said "no" I clicked the link it was for £553 I think this is extortionate I had no choice but to pay it or how else would I get my luggage to Australia? It is discrsceful !!

Admin Reply :

The excess baggage charge in per kg terms for your route of travel is $52 per kg. For 20 kgs, it translates to $1040. This is what is given on Malaysian Airlines website. True, this is too much for any person who has hard earned money. From next time, please always check what allowances are there for baggage for each leg of journey. Sometimes, different airlines operate different legs, which makes baggage allowances even more complex.

As it's mentioned that one bag shouldn't exceed 32kg then can I bring total 3 check in bags ( 32kg + 32kg + 6kg) ? Also in cabin bag 7kg + 7kg - is it compulsory to take two separate bags and each should weight only below 7kg? Thanks in advance.

Yes, you are right. 35 kg + 35 kg has to be taken in three bags. Two cabin bags have to be taken separately, their clubbing is not permitted.

In my ticket its written 35k. I need to confirm that 35 kg is for the baggage whereas 7kg hand carry is not weighted and excluded with 35kg weight. So the doubt is 35 + 7 kg that means 42 kg an individual can take?? I assume that 7kg hand carry is not weighted on the 35kg baggage.

Admin Reply :

yes, this 35 kg is check in baggage and 7 kg cabin baggage is in addition to it.

Hello, I'am traveling from Sri Lanka to China via Kuala Lumpur, I have 2 hours and 40 minutes layover, do I need to transits visa for this period? Also, I have 35kg (Economy flex) baggage allowances, can I bring two pieces of baggage for my journey. Because allowance dimension is 158 and, It is not enough to carry 35kg in one baggage.

Admin Reply :

No check in bag shall be more than 32 kg weight. So, even if allowance is more than this, say 35 kg, it has to be taken in two check-in bags. For the requirement of the transit visa, you will have to check this with the airline.

I have booked a flight from Mumbai to Sydney for 3rd of February. I am a student and I have booked my flight accordingly due to which, I've got a baggage allowance of 45 Kg and check in baggage of 7 kg. There are following queries I need clarification on:- 1. What will be charges if the weight limit exceeds? How much will I be liable to pay and how will I be changed on my excess baggage? 2. How to know if travel insurance has been included in my booking. 3. In check in baggage, do I have to carry a total of 7 kgs that includes laptop bag and my handbag or my cabin bag should be 7 kg and I can carry my laptop bag and handbag with me ( the laptop bag and handbag is not included in 7 kg?)

Admin Reply :

Hi, I've booked a return flight from Brisbane to Malaysia with a 20kg luggage for 3 people (2 adult and 1 2 years old). Can I check in with 2 luggages of 30kg instead of 3 luggages of 20kg? Thank you

Admin Reply :

People travelling on same PNR on routes where baggage is determined by weight concept, are generally allowed to club their check-in bags with the condition that check-in bag does not exceed 32 kg weight limit. So, you are allowed to bring 2 bags of 30 kg each for the three of you. However, please do check once with the airline office at airport.

Admin Reply :

You will have to check the linear dimensions and weight of the bike and then check the overall weight of check in baggage. If size is more than 158 cm and less than 204 cm, there will be charges for oversize, if weight is more than free allowance in total, then there will be charges for overweight. Charges are given in the content above.

Per kg excess baggage charge for your route is USD 52. This can be reduced if you buy online.

For eg: instead of carrying 2 checked in baggage by one person, can they make 3 baggage (less than 30 kgs each) like 22kg + 25 kg + 23kg.

Admin Reply :

If each person is allowed 35 kg in check-in, it has to be divided into 2 bags because of weight of one bag can not be more than 32 kg. They can take 3 check-in bags.

I have booked it via an online travel agency and I am unable to increase my baggage allowance/purchase any extra allowance through official website of malaysian airlines. As a student, can malaysian airlines provide me free baggae allowance? I am aware that MHexplorer program exixts and I have registered for it as well. But, considering that I have already booked my ticket, how do I get that allowance on my ticket? Also, what can I do to expedite my approval and reviewing process of MHexplorer?

Admin Reply :

Since tickets are bought through agency, a key condition is not met for availing higher allowance. However, we still suggest that you try and push both the airline and the agency to get this extra allowance.

Hello, I have booked a flight from Bangalore (India) to Adelaide (Australia) on 7th Nov 2022 and I have a layover of 15 hours at Kuala Lumpur airport. Attached is the ticket for your reference. Regarding this I have a few questions: I will Check-in 45kg of luggage at Bangalore airport. So will I get the check-in luggage directly at Adelaide airport? I prefer to get it in Adelaide only. Please make sure I get it in Adelaide. As per my ticket, I have entitled to a Cabin bag of 7kg. I hope it is excluding the Laptop Bag, does it? Please let me know. Very important: Since I have a long layover in Kuala Lumpur (15 hours), could you please arrange a complimentary hotel stay? or at least lounge access is much appreciated. The reason is, when my friend traveled via Singapore Airlines, he was provided a Hotel room and lounge access coupon card by Singapore Airlines and he was also on a student visa as am I. It is my most humble and sincere request to consider this.

Admin Reply :

We have not received any ticket since we do not provide the upload functionality. Let us also make this clear that we are not the airline company or any agency.

Whether the luggage would be through checked in or not is something which airline will tell. Ideally when both segments are provided by the airline on one PNR, through check in is provided but still it is a good practice to confirm with the airline. 

Laptop bag can be taken in addition to the cabin baggage allowance. 

We can not arrange for complimentary hotel stay. You will have to check this with the airline or the agency.

You can buy excess baggage online from the website of airline, under Plan Your Travel ---> Manage Booking section. You can also pay excess baggage charges at airports but it is expensive than buying online before flight departure.

Normally, if the airline is same and all journey is on same ticket offered by the airline, then through check-in is provided. However, we strongly suggest you get this clarified by the airline as well.

Have you booked tickets with some agency? If yes, then that could be reason for your booking not showing up as the confirmation number might be of agency and not of the airline. So, you need to check on that front.

With respect to carriage of golf bag in check in baggage, we can say that this can be taken for free if it is within permitted weight limits. You can bring one such set for free including 12 glof balls, 14 gilf clubs and 1 pair of golf shoes.

I have bought 4 MAS tickets which allows 25kgs/traveller, which means a total weight of 100kgs upon check in. My question is what is the max weight allowable for the 1st check in bag? I have 2 baggages to check in. The officer told can only checked in 25kg max for each of the bags. Please advice

Admin Reply :

Your free allowance would be 25 kg check in baggage weight. However, you can take a maximum of 32 kg weight in one check in bag (on payment of charges of excess weight)

Flight from Malaysia to Bangkok, will I get charge for check in oversize box dimensions 180cm and 16kg. I have 30kg baggage allowance. If yes, how much the charges would be?

Admin Reply :

The oversized baggage charges vary from route to route. Please check with the local airline office. Most probably, they will advise you to repack it into 2 bags keeping overall weight same and reducing size of one check in bag to up to 158 cm in linear dimensions.

Can I combine baggage allowance with other passengers holding the same booking number?

Admin Reply :

Only check in baggage can be clubbed with passengers traveling on same pnr and subject to the weight limit of 1 check in bag not exceeding 32 kg and size of 158 cm linear dimensions. This is allowed only on weight-based baggage allowance routes, not on piece based ones. 

You have not mentioned the route you are flying.

I am flying from syd to Kul on flight KL 4104. I have an econony ticket. What is my baggage allowance? Thank you Alan.

Admin Reply :

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.

Admin Reply :

You have not mentioned which fare type within Economy class has been booked by you. However, you are entitled to a 30 kg allowance on Economy Smart tickets. If it is not showing on ticket, please speak to the airline customer support. Have you booked with any agency? If yes, then ticket might not be showing it due to improper feed of baggage allowances.

Hello. I have a flight going PEN to KUL and KUL to MNL this coming Nov.27 with both Eco Class with 30kg Baggage Allowance. And I'm planning to bring my 27.5" Mountain Bike (non-motorised) with me. I will disassemble the front wheel and handle bar and put it in 130cm X 82cm X 25cm Bicycle Carry Bag. Is it possible? What should I do? Should I avail for special Baggage (Sport Equipment), or it will be carried as part of my 30kg baggage allowance?

Admin Reply :

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.

Hello, I have a flight with two legs on Malaysia Airlines (economy). If my second leg (longest) is approved for business class - what would be my baggage allowance bw? At check-in will the baggage allowance apply for business or would they apply based on fare type?

Admin Reply :

If airline is Malaysia airline only on both legs of journey, generally the higher cabin class baggage allowance applies to lower cabin classes as well. We would still request you speak to local airline office for better confirmation since we do not have your itinerary details.

Admin Reply :

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.

You can bring more than one check in bag within 30 kg weight limit. You can bring this item in check in luggage. Whether this would be charged or not will depend on discretion of airline officials at airport.

Thanks for your reply. Just to reconfirm. My special service booking says Extra Baggage Unit: KG Weight (Kg): 10 Number of Baggage: 1 Since it specifically says Number of Baggage is 1, does that mean that I need to have a separate bag weighing 10 or less kg..?? or is it okay if I take two bags weighing 20 & 15 Kgs for Check-in..? Further the total Cabin baggage weight of 7 Kgs is inclusive of Laptop or exclusive..?

Admin Reply :

They would consider total weight of the bags. Laptop can be carried in addition to cabin allowance.

I have booked my flight from Mumbai to Sydney through Malaysian airlines. As per my ticket I'm allowed 25Kgs check in & 7Kg Cabin baggage. I have taken the additional service of Standard seat + 10 Kgs excess baggage. Does that mean I'm allowed to carry additional 10 Kgs either in by way of Check-in or by way of Cabin baggage.? Does the additional 10 Kg allowed only by way of a separate Bag or it can be clubbed with my check-in baggage. Am I allowed to carry my Laptop in addition to my cabin baggage of 7Kgs.

Admin Reply :

Excess 10 kg is meant for check in baggage. No single check in bag shall be more than 32 kg in weight. So, if it is already 25 kg, you can accomodate max 7 kg in that bag from the additional allowance of 10 kg, leaving 3 kg which is to be taken in another check in bag. You can bring laptop in addition to cabin bag.

In the ticket there is no mention of of the allowed Checked Baggage on the Onward journey. In respect of the Return journey it clearly says that 25 Kg will be allowed.

Please clarify and confirm urgently about the allowance of Checked in Baggage for the Onward Journey. Also I had specifically indicated my choice of Vegetarian Hindu Meals.

I travelled from Perth to Singapore and checked in a small.box, well taped and tied with rafia, but was told by the counter staff that I had to get it wrapped at the baggage service before they wld accpet it. That cost us $18!! I have read the baggage policy and no where does it say we need to.have the box wrapped. Can MAS explain the need foe this as I have checked in boxes on many flights and no airline has had this requirement. I strongly feel it was a waste of our money to have a box wrapped just so we can check it in, even though it was well sealed and tied with rafia. Pl explain

Admin Reply :

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.

I have bought a toy car weight 24 kg Length 50 inches Width 28 inches Height 20 inches I want to know if i need to pay the oversize charge. This is all i have with me no other lauggage and a hand carry very small bag. My flight is from Philippines to india mumbai . Pls reply

Admin Reply :

This item has to be carried through cargo because sum of dimensions is more than 80 inches. Malaysian can accept oversized baggage of more than 62 inches linear dimensions and up to 80 inches, not beyond that.

I WANT TO TRAVEL FROM KUCHING TO BANGALORE RETURN. AS TO THE BAGGAGE ALLOWANCE, IT IS INDICATED 25KG PER SECTOR ON MAS WEBSITE UNDER ECONOMY PROMO. HOW ABOUT THE DIMENSION AND THE PIECES OF CHECKED BAGGAGE ALLOWED?

Admin Reply :

Sum of dimensions of check in bag shall not be more than 158 linear dimensions, that is L+B+H. There is no limit of number of check-in bags to be taken and you can bring mroe than1 check in bag within this overall weight limit.

Hello im looming at booking a flight from langkwai to denpasar bali could you please let me no the baggage allowance as when im going to book it i cant find how much it states thanks Lynn

Admin Reply :

When was the booking done? W.e.f 8 April, 2019, there is a change in check in baggage allowance rules. Also, you have not mentioned which fare type you have booked? 

So, check in baggagage allowance for bookings done on or after 8 April, 2019 is 20, 25, 30, 35 kgs respectively for Economy Promo, Basic, Smart and  Flex fares. For Business Class and Suite fares, the allowance is 40 kg and 50 kg respectively. 

If tickets are booked before this date, the allowance as per your ticket will apply.

Hi I will be traveling from Bangkok to Auckland January 2019 and will have a golf bag and a suitcase not weighing more than 30kg but my ticket says only 1 checked item can you please advise

Admin Reply :

You can bring Golf bag as a part of free check in baggage allowance. If it is more than allowance excess baggage charges would be levied.

Hi, im planning to buy a tv 55 inch in chongqing, china to chennai, India.. Can i carry the tv as my free check-in baggage? What about the customs tax details?. How much will be the insurance fee?

Admin Reply :

Yes it can be carried as a part of free check in baggage allowance on the condition that its size and weight limits are within the permitted allowance. In measuring the size, the sum of dimensions (L+B+H) of the LED TV package would be considered. 

We are not an authority on customs and taxation, therefore we can not say anything about it.

Can I transport a bicycle on MAS from Heathrow to Langkawi? The online info. is confusing as there is reference to a combined max. measurement of 62” but or course bikes and bike bags are larger than this. Furthermore, there is reference to an individual assessed item ( not included in check- in luggage) for a fee of £35 out of London. This info. can be found on KLIA2 site but flights from London do not go into KLIA2. I am confused! Thank you.

Admin Reply :

62 inches is the sum of dimensions of check in bag in which the bike is to be packed. IT is L+B+H. This can be carried in check in baggage, as a part of the free allowance and if the weight is more than free allowance, then excess baggage charges would have to be paid.

Hi, I am travelling from Adelaide to Lahad Datu, transit at Kuala Lumpur then Kota Kinabalu. My connecting flight is Malaysian airline. With baggage allowance 30kg for international flight and 20 domestic flight. But I am going to check through my baggage straight from Adelaide to LD as I dont need to take it. Do I have to pay extra?

Admin Reply :

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.

hello i am flying from sydney to chennai next week in economy class. i have 2 peices of 17kg ,17.5kg as check in luggage and 1 suitcase of 7kg , a laptop in backpack 3kg as cabin luggage. is this ok? whether i need to purchase excess weight or not? if i had to buy means where should i buy it thank you

Admin Reply :

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)

hi i am flying from Sydney to Chennai next week in economy class with the baggage allowance of 30kg check-in & 7kg cabin. now i have 2 pieces weighing 17k , 18kg as check-in luggage and 1 suitcase weighing 7kg, a laptop with its bag(backpack) weighing 3kg as cabin luggage. my doubts is cabin luggage allowance 7kg excludes laptop bag or not, do i need to buy excess baggage? if yes how do i pre-purchase it? thank you

Admin Reply :

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.
