You Can Now Use Wheeled Cabin Luggage On AirAsia!

Didn’t AirAsia ban wheeled cabin luggage to facilitate social distancing during embarkation and disembarkation?

Find out why AirAsia banned wheeled cabin luggage, but you can now use it on AirAsia!

 

AirAsia Temporarily Bans Wheeled Cabin Luggage!

Quite a few websites are sharing what they claimed is a new AirAsia cabin baggage policy, that temporarily bans wheeled luggage to ensure social distancing during embarkation and disembarkation.

People also shared the news on social media. Here is one example :

This new AirAsia cabin luggage policy is a real doozy because it looks like not many people were aware of it, and could end up paying extra at the airport to check in their wheeled cabin luggage.

 

You Can Now Use Wheeled Cabin Luggage On AirAsia!

Unfortunately, these warnings are too late to help anyone because they were shared just ONE DAY before that temporary policy EXPIRED.

Fact #1 : AirAsia Banned Wheeled Cabin Luggage In April / May 2020

Those websites should have posted these warnings in April, when AirAsia first announced them as part of preventive measures against COVID-19, when AirAsia was permitted to restart domestic flights in:

• Malaysia (29 April 2020),
• Thailand (1 May 2020),
• the Philippines (1 June 2020),
• India (4 May 2020), and
• Indonesia (7 May 2020).

Here is the relevant section on their FAQ on precautionary measures while flying with AirAsia during the COVID-19 pandemic, which was posted on 29 April 2020 :

Fact #2 : That New Policy Ended On 6 July 2020

AirAsia actually updated the cabin luggage policy page yesterday, to state that the old policy will be reinstated effective 7 July 2020.

In other words, the restricted cabin luggage policy they introduced on 29 April 2020, ended yesterday – the same day everyone started posting about the new policy.

You are allowed to bring onboard two (2) pieces of bag as part of your cabin baggage allowance with the total weight of both items not exceeding 7kg.

One (1) piece of cabin bag must not exceed 56cm x 36cm x 23cm including the handles, wheels and side pockets. This bag must be able to fit in the overhead compartment in the aircraft cabin.

You may also carry one (1) piece of laptop bag, handbag, backpack or any other small bag which must not exceed 40cm x 30cm x 10cm. This item must be able to fit under the seat in front of you.

Fact #3 : Infants Less Than 2 Years Old Never Had Cabin Luggage Allowance

At least one website claimed that infants under the age of 2 no longer have any cabin luggage allowance, under the new policy.

However, that has always been the case with AirAsia – only children 2 years and older have cabin luggage allowances – 7 kg, the same as adults.

The only exception is on AirAsia India flights – starting 10 July 2020, infants below 2 years of age will be allocated 7 kg of hand baggage.

Fact #4 : Baby Strollers / Buggies / Prams Are Carried For FREE

At least one website claimed that baby strollers must meet cabin baggage allowable dimensions, or you must purchase a checked baggage allowance.

That is not true.

Baby strollers / buggies / prams are carried free of charge on AirAsia flights as checked baggage, provided they are being used by a child or infant.

Those who wish to carry their strollers into the cabin must make sure it can be folded to fit the cabin baggage allowances.
