Malaysia Airlines Cabin Bag Size & Rules 2026

Cabin allowance

Economy: one main bag and one listed personal item,7 kg combined. Business/Suite: two main bags, each at most 7 kg, with 14 kg combined including the personal item. Two main bags weighing 7 kg each leave no remaining weight for a personal item. The checker tests one bag; add all weights separately.

Main bag:56× 36× 23 cm and 115 cm total. Personal item:36× 25× 25 cm and 86 cm total, entirely under the seat. Status bonuses on the reviewed page apply to checked baggage, not extra cabin weight. Measure the complete packed exterior; the page does not explicitly define wheels and handles. Infant equipment and liquids have separate listed conditions, not automatic extra adult bags.

Before departure

Measure the packed bag and weigh all items before leaving. Check the operating carrier for codeshares and every connecting flight. Cabin space is not guaranteed even for compliant bags. Resolve excess at check-in and request the price for your actual itinerary; no universal gate fee or free exception is promised. Confirm infant tickets, child equipment and liquid screening separately. The calculator does not identify aircraft, total several bags or confirm a special arrangement.
