The published base allowance includes a main and small item sharing 7 kg. Paid extra-weight products are not modeled here; check the actual booking.

Baggage fees

No reliable fixed price is listed here. Check your booking for the cost of adding a bag; an unlisted price does not mean it is free.

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 liquids policy

AirAsia international guidance: containers at most 100 ml in one transparent resealable bag up to 1 litre and 20×20 cm. Necessary medicines, dietary items and sealed duty-free purchases have conditions; check departure, transfer and Australia-specific screening separately.

The calculator models the included 7 kg shared allowance. Xtra Carry-On (14 kg combined, at most 10 kg per item) and the separate airport increase (up to 10 kg total) require a verified eligible purchase; generic paid/priority mode does not activate them. Infants under 2 have no cabin allowance; children aged 2+ receive the adult allowance. A stroller used by a child or infant may be checked free; an onboard folding stroller must fit within the cabin allowance. Duty-free exceptions require sealed STEB packaging, proof of purchase and the destination allowance; airport rules can differ.
