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 policyHow 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. Measure the packed bag and verify the operating carrier's rule.
Malaysia Airlines liquids policy
MH publishes 100 ml containers in one transparent resealable 1 L bag. Required medicines, infant food and special dietary items have documented exceptions; sealed duty-free purchases need proof. Confirm transit screening.
Family & Infants
Infant (under 2)
With an infant, one infant-amenities bag up to 5 kg OR small carrycot OR cabin-size collapsible lightweight stroller is listed in addition to the personal item. The page also requires combined cabin items within the class allowance; confirm any infant-specific arrangement.
Stroller
Cabin-size fully collapsible lightweight stroller is one listed infant alternative, not guaranteed extra cabin space or aircraft-door return.
Car seat
Confirm approval, separate-seat requirements and hold handling directly; no unconditional free cabin car-seat entitlement is established by the reviewed cabin page.
