Reminder on carry-on rules
KUCHING: AirAsia reminded all passengers to adhere to carryon requirements to ensure quick boarding and sufficient storage onboard for everyone.
In its press statement yesterday, the low- cost airline said passengers are allowed one cabin bag measuring 56 x 36 x 23cm (including handles and wheels) plus one small bag, such as a laptop bag or handbag measuring 40 x 30 x 10cm. Total permitted weight for the two pieces must not exceed 7kg.
Carry- on baggage that is overweight, oversized or exceed the allowed quantity will be charged excess baggage fees on a per kilo basis or gate baggage fees. You can pre-book checked baggage allowance online when booking flight or through the ‘Manage My Booking’ option.
Multiple items that are strapped, wrapped or tied together will not be counted as one piece of cabin baggage.
Duty-free items purchased at the airport are exempt from carry- on requirements, provided they are packed in a Security TamperEvident Bag (STEB) and are within the duty-free allowance of the destination country. Such items must be accompanied by proof of purchase until disembarkation.
All other purchases, including free gifts from duty- free outlets, will count as part of the cabin baggage allowance.
Infants below the age of two are not allocated cabin baggage allowance, while children aged two and above will receive the same allocation as adults.
Passengers travelling with infants or children are reminded that prams, strollers and buggies cannot be brought onboard but can be checked in for free.
