AirAsia reduces baggage fees
Originally published on www.businesstraveller.asia 22/02/2012 - Filed under: News »
AirAsia and its long-haul arm, AirAsia X, will lower check-in baggage fees, effective today, by almost RM5 (US$1) for each baggage tier.
AirAsia and AirAsia X organise baggage tiers based on weight starting at the lowest tier, 15kg, going up to 30kg with an additional 5kg at each tier. While AirAsia has reduced the fees for 15kg and 20kg tiers, AirAsia X has lowered the fees of 25kg and 30kg tiers. The two carriers have also introduced two additional tiers: 35kg and 40kg.
The fees vary for passengers travelling on domestic or international flights and also for passengers who indicate online beforehand that they will be checking in baggage, as opposed to checking in baggage over the counter, which is calculated by attaching a charge to each kilo above 15kg. In fact, AirAsia has increased over the counter fees for checking in baggage on international flights while AirAsia X’s over the counter fees remain unchanged: passengers checking in 15kg of baggage will be charged RM65 (US$21) and each kilo after that will cost RM40 (US$13)
