miodo2009 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I'm a little bit confused about how much luggage weight I am allowed to take with me on an AirAsia flight. Is it possible to pre-check in 2 pieces of luggage with a weight of 40 kilos at AirAsia ? And what do I have to pay ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endure Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Go to http://www.airasia.com/th/en/flightinfo/feeschedule.html and fill in your origin and destination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALFREDO Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I know only from paying up to 30 kg baggage, maybe you have the possibility to pay more again for 10-15 kg. better you call them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lily128 Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I think it depends on where you are going. Normally its much cheaper if you pre pay for your luggage when you buy tickets than pay for it when you check it. If you already know you will have 40 kgs, then just book it with them.

Xircal Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 There's no free luggage allowance. You simply choose and pay for whichever option suits your needs. If you choose say "Medium", then you pay 300 Baht for 20KG. If you didn't calculate it very well and your case weighed 21 KG, then you'd be charged an extra fee for the additional kilogram. See Baggage Supersize for more details. Do make use of your option to check-in up to 7 days prior to your flight either online, or by using your mobile. If you use your mobile, you might possibly see a message that the resolution on your phone was insufficient to display the barcode (it happened to me). Don't worry, just turn up at the Web Check-in desk and tell them you checked in with your mobile. They'll be able to find you in the system easily enough if that happens and will print your boarding pass for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabaijai Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 To fly domestically on AirAsia you have to pay a fee for any checked luggage, as described above. For international flights, the first 15kg is free. Or at least that's how it worked for a Bangkok-Denpasar flight I just took. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AirasiaX baggage charges is more expensive than Airasia. You are also only allowed 7kgs cabin allowance and strictly only 1 piece. They do and will check your carry on luggage for weight!

andrew55 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 You will select the weight of luggage when you book your flight. I get a default asking if I want to pay for 15kg. I often travel Airasia with heavy stuff. Experience suggests that the more I pre-book the more tolerant check-in is, ie. if I pre-pay 25 kgs they'll give me a couple extra ok. If I book 15kg no way. Most times. At check-in I ask to weigh my carry-on bag(up to 7kg). If it's a little over they'll often say ok and put a 'weight checked' sticker on and it doesn't get re-weighed at the gate. Your laptop is seperate to the 7kg carry-on. Put heavy things such as books in this. Not weighed. Ladies can carry a handbag unweighed. Not sure if this is in addition to the laptop bag. This is not against the rules. I may sound like a 'cheap charlie' but I'm an Aussie of Scottish ancestry. Look after your pennies and your pounds will look after themselves(gotta roll your 'r's). I was also married to a Jew for 15 years. There are variables such as how full flight, supervisors morning spiel, carrier's profit and loss for the month, but can't count on these factors at check-in when you're lugging 8 bags. Definately pre-book your baggage weight. Very expensive to pay at check-in. Better to pre-pay a few more kilos than you reckon you'll need.

andrew55 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 If you book more than 1 flight at the same time you can combinne weight. That is 1 pax with 22 kgs and your travelling companion with 18kgs will be 40kgs between 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
