AirAsia Baggage Rules 2026

7 kg is the cabin baggage weight AirAsia includes on every fare, and the homepage warns that no cabin bag may go over 7 kg. You can bring 2 pieces: a cabin bag of about 56 x 36 x 23 cm plus one small bag, both counted inside that 7 kg. Weight, not size, is the limit staff check most often.

The 7 kg banner sits on the airasia.com homepage itself: "No cabin baggage over 7kg".

Yes. Alongside the main cabin bag, AirAsia allows one small bag such as a laptop bag or handbag of about 40 x 30 x 10 cm. It is not a separate allowance by weight: both pieces together must stay within the 7 kg cabin limit, so pack the heavy items in the bag you check.

Yes, AirAsia checks the 7 kg limit, and its fee schedule prices the overage: MYR 55 per kg on domestic AK flights, for up to 3 kg over. That makes each extra kilo cost more than the domestic checked excess rate of MYR 35 per kg. You can also buy Xtra Carry On for MYR 12 at booking or MYR 50 later or at the kiosk.

AirAsia sells extra cabin weight as an add-on called Xtra Carry On.

20 kg of checked baggage comes with both Value Pack and Premium Flex, while Premium Flatbed includes 40 kg. Low Fare carries 7 kg in the cabin only, and checked bags cost extra. Premium Flex and Premium Flatbed add Xpress boarding and Xpress baggage. Value Pack isn't sold on Fly-Thru routes to, from or through Thailand, India and Japan.

Value Pack is not available on Fly-Thru connections routed through Thailand, India or Japan.

MYR 159 is the listed fee for a 20 kg bag on AK domestic flights when you add it at initial booking, per passenger and per sector. Adding it later costs MYR 175. The domestic schedule also shows a kiosk rate of MYR 110 for 20 kg and MYR 110 for the first 20 kg at the airport counter. Weights run in steps of 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50 and 60 kg.

AirAsia charges baggage fees per sector, so a connection through Kuala Lumpur is charged on each leg.

MYR 323 buys 20 kg on an AK international flight at initial booking, or MYR 355 afterwards, according to the fee schedule's MYR row. Priced in other currencies, 20 kg costs USD 63 or SGD 76 at booking. A 10 kg option exists only on the Krabi to Kuala Lumpur route and its return.

32 kg is the most a single checked bag can weigh on AirAsia, even if you buy more weight. The fee schedule sells weight in steps up to 60 kg per passenger per sector, so heavier totals must be split across two or more bags. Each piece over 32 kg must be repacked.

MYR 35 per kg is the domestic excess baggage rate in AirAsia's AK fee schedule. Gate baggage costs MYR 48 and Xpress Baggage MYR 135 on domestic routes. On international flights, excess is charged per kg at the airport at a rate set by route, so prebooking weight online is the cheaper choice.

MYR 78 covers 15 kg of sports equipment on AK domestic flights when added at booking, rising to MYR 109 after booking or at the kiosk. AirAsia lists golf, surfboards, bicycles, skis or snowboards and diving gear as sports equipment. Its Free Surfboard Policy lets you take 1 surfboard up to 15 kg free.

AirAsia's Free Surfboard Policy covers one 15 kg board.

No. AirAsia does not accept pets on its flights, either in the cabin or in the hold, and no pet fee or carrier size appears on airasia.com. Travellers moving a pet between Malaysia and nearby countries need a full-service airline or a cargo agent instead.

MYR 10 per kg is the lost baggage compensation line in AirAsia's AK domestic fee schedule. AirAsia's newsroom published no baggage, bundle or pet announcements in 2025 or 2026 that we could find.
