Malaysia Airlines New Excess Baggage Fee Calculator

Effective 20 April 2015, Malaysia Airlines replaces its excess baggage fee structure of regional rates per blocks of 5kg with zonal rates per block of 3kg for all MH operated flights.

Excess baggage rates will be calculated based on zones, depending on the distance flown in one single itinerary. The fee will be calculated for every 3kg in excess of.the Free Baggage Allowance, instead of the previous Skg blocks.

Passengers with tickets issued before 20 April 2015 will be charged based on whichever rate is lower if they are travelling between 20 April 2015 until 20 August 2015.
