Kuala Lumpur: Malaysia Airlines (MAS) said its revised excess baggage fee structure will come into effect on April 22. Previously applied regional rates per blocks of 5kg will be replaced with a zonal fee structure, with rates per block of 3kg for travel on all MAS-operated flights system-wide, both domestic and international.

Excess baggage rates will be calculated based on zones, depending on the distance flown in a single itinerary.

"The fee will be calculated for every 3kg in excess of the Free Baggage Allowance, instead of the previous 5kg blocks," it said in a statement Monday.

According to MAS' website, its fixed rate for each block of 5kg varies from RM55 within Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak to a maximum of RM195 to Europe.

This revision will also apply to passengers connecting on domestic routes between Sabah and Sarawak on MASwings-operated flights, it said, adding passengers with tickets issued before April 22, 2015 will be charged based on whichever rate is lower if they are travelling on April 22-Aug 30, 2015.

MAS currently allows two pieces of baggage weighing 50kg for First Class, 40kg for Business and 30kg for Economy Class. – Bernama
