AirAsia fixes cabin luggage at two pieces weighing a maximum 7kg

KUCHING: AirAsia has fixed its cabin baggage allowance at two pieces weighing a maximum 7kg per guest, effective yesterday (July 7).

In a statement, AirAsia said guests are allowed to carry one cabin bag not exceeding the dimensions of 56cm ( H) x 36cm ( W) x 23cm ( D) or maximum linear of 115cm, which must fit in the aircraft’s overhead storage compartment, and one laptop bag or one small bag not exceeding the dimensions of 40cm ( H) x 30cm ( W) x 10cm ( D) or maximum linear of 80cm, which must fit under the seat in front of the guest.

“Guests who wish to travel with more than the permitted cabin baggage limit are recommended to pre- book your checked baggage allowance prior to the flight.

“Baggage purchase or upgrade can be done on airasia. com or the AirAsia mobile app up to four hours to departure time,” said the statement yesterday.

AirAsia said the health and well- being of passengers remained its paramount concern.

As such, it advised guests to arrive at the airport preferably three hours before departure to allow for enough time for all the necessary processes to take place.

Besides complying with the advice and regulations from government and health authorities, AirAsia said it had also implemented end- to- end contactless procedures and a series of new safety measures, as well as taking care of those most at risk to ensure the safety of all travelling guests.
