Note before you travel on an AirAsia flight:- AirAsia has a new cabin baggage policy to faciliate social distancing norms. The policy will only allow passengers (except infants) to carry-on ONE bag which can be either a laptop bag, handbag, or a small bag.
Due to the COVID-19 Crisis, AirAsia is temporarily revising our baggage policy to ensure social distancing during embarkation and disembarkation.
Wheeled luggage is no longer allowed in the cabin, to help maintain social distancing during embarkation and disembarkation.
AirAsia Cabin Baggage Requirements
All guests (except infants) are allowed to carry on board ONLY 1 piece of cabin baggage which can be either:
One (1) Laptop bag or one (1) handbag or one (1) small bag:
- MUST NOT exceed the dimensions of 40cm (H) X 30cm (W) X 10cm (L).
- MUST FIT under the seat in front of you.
- MUST NOT weigh more than 7kg.
If the bag:
- Cannot fit under the seat and weighs less than 7kg, you will be given a FREE baggage check in.
- Weighs more than 7kg, extra charges apply.
Checked Baggage
If you need to carry more, the airline has a range of checked baggage allowances for passengers to pre-book. Checked baggage fees are also applicable which you can see on the website of the airline.
