Re: Malindo Air. Avoid the fucktardery.
I read earlier this year that AAsia was going to enforce the 7kg limit for carry-on.
Has anybody run into this?

Yeah once... my bag was 9 kilos at the time... my main concern is if they do the combined weight of my back pack n camera bag... i rarely need much in my back pack, but my camera bag is often pretty heavySternAAlbifrons wrote: ↑Fri Sep 20, 2019 7:52 pm I read earlier this year that AAsia was going to enforce the 7kg limit for carry-on.

I put camera gear, binoculars and other small heavy stuff in a 10 or 15 litre dry bag.crob wrote: ↑Fri Sep 20, 2019 7:55 pmYeah once... my bag was 9 kilos at the time... my main concern is if they do the combined weight of my back pack n camera bag... i rarely need much in my back pack, but my camera bag is often pretty heavySternAAlbifrons wrote: ↑Fri Sep 20, 2019 7:52 pm I read earlier this year that AAsia was going to enforce the 7kg limit for carry-on.

Half full, over my shoulder, sitting in the small of my back, nobody has ever asked, ever.
Computer bag - go books, mags, papers. or a tight stack of well folded cotton clothes. (heavy)
No body ever weighs computer bag.
Regularly put up to 20 k's in back pack, occasionally get questioned. Not at check-in, but at entry into Departure area.
Lucky and have charmed my way thru, so far.
But i worry about a crack down. luggage is bloody expeno these days.

Re: Malindo Air. Avoid the fucktardery.
Got away with 7.8kg earlier in the year, but yes, Air Asia has become more stringent out of Perth in the last twelve months. There's even a scale at the door of the gate now in Perth which I've never seen before. Personally, I'm still yet to be weighed for carry-on in Asia,SternAAlbifrons wrote: ↑Fri Sep 20, 2019 7:52 pm I read earlier this year that AAsia was going to enforce the 7kg limit for carry-on.

Re: Malindo Air. Avoid the fucktardery.
I just checked.
If i buy my cheapest commonly available fare from CityX to Phnom Penh, Air Asia.
20 kg luggage will cost me exactly 30% of the fare. !!!
Personally i reckon us skinny blokes should get some kilo credits for not being a fat bum.

I've flown with them twice with zero issues. I think KMT airport is partly to blame. It's a total shitshow that makes PP airport look modern and smooth running.

Welcome to 2019 air travel. You are bovine in a cattle car with wings.
You could be next.

As a traveling salesman here in Asia I try my best to avoid any Indonesia airline whenever I can including their national airline Garuda.
