Malaysia Airlines Baggage Rules

Checked baggage

Each piece of baggage you check in must have linear dimensions (length + height + width) of less than 158cm or 62in.

A bag is considered oversized if its linear dimensions are between 158cm-204cm or 62in-80in. It may be subject to a surcharge.

For even larger pieces of baggage that exceed 204cm or 80in, MASKargo is able to assist you.

Each piece of checked bag cannot weigh more than 32kg or 70lb for Business Suite/ Business Class and 23kg or 50lb for Economy Class.

The number of bags you can check in is determined by your cabin class. Do check the weight limits before booking your ticket to ensure you have enough baggage allowance for your journey.

If your luggage is longer or wider than the dimensions specified above, you may need to ship it as freight instead of baggage.
