Official baggage policy
How to use this policy

Check cabin bag dimensions, weight and personal-item limits separately. A bag has to pass every published limit at once; being under the length and width limit does not help if the depth, weight, or fare-specific allowance is tighter.

Editorial signal only. Leave margin instead of relying on discretionary gate behavior.

AirAsia X liquids policy

AirAsia international guidance: containers up to 100 ml in one transparent resealable bag up to 1 litre. Medical/dietary and duty-free conditions apply; check departure and transfer screening.
