Malaysia Airlines Excess Baggage Fees
What Malaysia Airlines charges for overweight bags, extra bags and buying baggage at the airport instead of online — from the official policy, checked 30 October 2026.
The official page we verified does not publish a fixed excess fee table for this airline; fees are calculated at booking or check-in. See the official source below.
Your included allowance (for reference)
| Fare / class | Checked baggage allowance |
|---|---|
| Economy Value (most routes) | 20kg |
| Economy Basic (most routes) | 25kg |
| Economy Flex (most routes) | 35kg |
| Business Basic (most routes) | 40kg |
| Business Flex (most routes) | 50kg |

Weight concept for domestic Malaysia and most international routes, per Malaysia Airlines' official AskMH free baggage allowance page: passengers may check as many pieces as needed within the total weight. Extra baggage can be pre-booked online in 5kg, 10kg, 15kg, 20kg, 25kg and 30kg packs (official ancillary page).
The cheapest way to avoid these fees
Every Malaysia Airlines fare in the table above already includes checked baggage, starting with Economy Value (most routes) (20kg), so the fees on this page only bite when you travel with more than that included amount — heavier bags, or more bags than the fare allows. If you are close to the line, weigh the bag at home: a kilogram moved into a companion’s bag, or into a cabin bag within its own limit, is a kilogram that never reaches the excess scale.
Why there is no fixed fee table here
The official Malaysia Airlines baggage pages we verified (checked 30 October 2026) do not publish a fixed excess fee table: the charge for a specific flight is calculated by the airline when baggage is added to the booking or at check-in, and it turns on the three numbers that are on this page — your included allowance, the weight of each bag, and whether you pay in advance. We would rather show that gap than copy a fee from a third-party site that the airline never published.
