Malaysia Airlines new excess baggage rates
Kuala Lumpur : Malaysia Airlines will revise its excess baggage fee structure. Previously applied regional rates per blocks of 5kg will be replaced with a zonal fee structure, with rates per block of 3kg for travel on all Malaysia Airlines operated flights system-wide, both domestic and international.
Excess baggage rates will be calculated based on zones, depending on the distance flown in one single itinerary. The fee will be calculated for every 3kg in excess of the Free Baggage Allowance, instead of the previous 5kg blocks.
This revision shall also apply to passengers connecting on domestic routes between Sabah and Sarawak on MASwings operated flights.
The new fee structure is effective for tickets issued from April 22, 2015 onwards.
Passengers with tickets issued before April 22, 2015 will be charged based on whichever rate is lower if they are travelling between April 22, 2015 until August 30, 2015.
Malaysia Airlines currently allows 2 pieces of baggage weighing 50kg for First Class, 40kg for Business and 30kg for Economy Class.
