All about baggage - Air Asia

Bersempena dengan Christmas holiday (25/12/12), New Year Eve (1/1/12), Maulidurrasul (24/1/13), Thaipusam (27/1/13), Hari Wilayah (1/2/13),Chinese New Year (mid Feb 13) maybe ramai antara kita yang dah book ticket AirAsia to spend your holiday abroad or even in Malaysia dengan menggunakan khidmat Syarikat Penerbangan Tambang Murah, AK. We should thank AK as after their existence with the theme everyone can fly, memang sebenarnya semakin ramai yang mampu untuk terbang.. OK I'm not working with AK and non of friends or relatives related to AirAsia. Entry kali ni bukanlah bertujuan untuk promo AirAsia tapi memandangkan saya tersangatla teruja nak pergi holiday lepas tengok travelogue Destinasi Cinta kat Astro Ria, maka terpaksa la cost saving nak pg travel tengok tempat orang..

So about the topic..is just for sharing as I googled few websites on the baggage allowance for AirAsia because I'm thinking of bringing a stroller to China on our next holiday to Guangzhou..So I would love to share those info with readers..mana la tau ada yang memang sedang memikirkan perkara yang sama.

1. Travelling in group..can I combine my checked baggage with kawan kawan seangkatan - Boleh kalau masa kita book tiket, kita book sama sama, so booking number yang sama and kena present your group at the check in counter.

2.Saya ada baby..macammana kalau nak bawak stroller? - stroller is considered as FOC Checked Baggage. Other items which are considered as FOC are manual wheelchair, mobility device and walking frames.

3. I am a musician. Can I bring my instruments onboard - yes provided that it is within the allowable handcarry baggage weight and size.

4. Berapa banyak hand luggage yang dibenarkan per person? - any combination of 2 ( laptop bag/handbag/hand luggage) weigh not more than 7 kg and with dimension of 56 cm x 36 cm x 23 cm for hand luggage. You are allowed to bring maximum of 100 ml liquid onboard.

5. Can I bring my fishing rod inside the plane? - it is considered as checked in baggage. Item such as golf equipment or bicycle will be charged for sports equipment fee while large sports equipment i.e canoe or glider will not be accepted in the carriage.

6. Can I bring my cat along with me in the plane? - a big no...nanti ada orang fobia binatang terpekik pekik dalam flight...

7. Is there any limit of pieces or weight for checked in baggage? - no limit for the quantity but weight is depends on your pre-booked baggage weight and extra charges if it exceed your pre-booked weight. If the weight of your checked in baggage is less than the pre-booked weight, the charges is not refundable and non- transferable. 

8. Should I pre-booked my supersize baggage or just pay the extra charges at the airport rate? -The good thing about pre-booking online is you save 50% compared to countercheck ins with Airport rate. And while backpackers would happily settle for the minimum 15kg limit, shopaholics can happily upsize in the increment of 5kg to reserve for their bargains. But don't think of towing a giant 40kg baggage for the supersize..32 kg is the limit or maximum allowable weight with dimension restriction applies (31.8" H x 46.8" W x 46.8" D) So always distribute wisely. 

Hopefully tips provided membantu perjalanan anda. Happy travelling! Chow..
