AirAsia Berhad (IATA code AK; ICAO code AXM) is a Malaysian airline. Its main Kuala Lumpur hub is klia2, Terminal 2 of Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL). The airline is part of AirAsia Group Berhad, the aviation group formerly known as AirAsia X Berhad. AirAsia Malaysia's route network is distinct from other AirAsia-branded carriers; available destinations and schedules can change, so check Traveloka for your route and travel dates.
AirAsia developed from a Malaysian carrier into a low-cost airline with a regional network. Its relaunch under entrepreneurs Tony Fernandes and Kamarudin Meranun helped make scheduled travel more accessible to price-conscious travellers. AirAsia Malaysia remains a distinct operating airline within a wider group of regional carriers.
Airline Overview and History
AirAsia's history includes a change in ownership, a move to a low-cost model and expansion into a regional airline group. Key milestones include:
- Tony Fernandes and Kamarudin Meranun later acquired the struggling carrier, took on its debt and relaunched it as a low-cost airline.
- The airline expanded its booking channels online.
- Its first international service linked Kuala Lumpur with Phuket, and Thai AirAsia was established as a separate regional airline.
- Indonesia AirAsia launched as a separate carrier.
- The group expanded its Airbus A320-family fleet after earlier Boeing 737 operations.
- AirAsia moved its Kuala Lumpur hub operations to klia2, a terminal developed for low-cost carriers.
- Capital A Berhad later announced plans to consolidate its aviation operations with AirAsia X.
- AirAsia X completed its acquisition of AirAsia Berhad and AirAsia Aviation Group Limited from Capital A. The parent company later adopted the name AirAsia Group Berhad.
AirAsia Malaysia operates from Kuala Lumpur International Airport Terminal 2 (klia2). Its route network includes Malaysian and international city pairs, while the listed service and operating airline depend on the route and travel date. AirAsia as a wider brand has received industry recognition, but awards do not describe the conditions or service on an individual flight.
Fleet and Aircraft
AirAsia Malaysia operates narrow-body aircraft in the Airbus A320 family. The aircraft type, seat map and cabin configuration can vary by service, so check the operating airline and flight details shown for your itinerary. AirAsia Malaysia's aircraft are maintained under Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) regulations and applicable aviation safety standards.

Baggage Allowance and Policies
As a low-cost carrier, AirAsia operates on a pay-for-what-you-use model. Understanding the baggage policy before your flight helps you budget accordingly and avoid unexpected charges at the airport.
Cabin Baggage
- Weight limit: 7 kg per passenger
- Maximum dimensions: 56 x 36 x 23 cm for the main cabin bag
- Items included: One cabin bag plus one small personal item (laptop bag, handbag, or small backpack) that fits under the seat in front of you
- Important: Cabin baggage is strictly enforced at the boarding gate — bags exceeding the weight or size limits will be checked in and a fee will be charged
Checked Baggage
- Free allowance: No free checked baggage is included with standard AirAsia fares — checked baggage must be purchased as an add-on
- Pre-booked options: Available in tiers of 15 kg, 20 kg, 25 kg, 30 kg, and 40 kg
- Maximum weight per piece: 32 kg — any single bag exceeding 32 kg must be repacked or split
- Booking tip: Review checked-bag options for your itinerary before paying. Availability, allowance and any price difference can depend on the flight and booking channel.
Excess Baggage Fees
If your luggage exceeds the allowance attached to your booking, excess baggage fees may apply. Fees and options vary by route and ticket conditions; check the airline's current rules before travelling.
Prohibited and Restricted Items
AirAsia follows international aviation security regulations. Key restrictions include:
- Dangerous goods, flammable materials, explosives, and sharp objects are prohibited in cabin baggage
- Power banks must travel in the cabin, with no more than two per passenger and a maximum capacity of 100 Wh each. AirAsia prohibits power banks above 100 Wh. Spare lithium batteries also belong in cabin baggage; different capacity and approval rules apply to those batteries. Devices with installed batteries have separate acceptance rules, so check the airline’s current restrictions before packing.
- For international travel, check the departure airport’s liquid limits. The common rule uses containers no larger than 100 ml, packed in one transparent resealable bag of up to 1 litre. Medical, infant-food and other permitted exceptions require separate checks.
- Some sports items require a separate sports-equipment allowance and specific packing; confirm acceptance and fees with the airline before travelling
Check-in Guide
Airport Counter Check-in
AirAsia provides airport counter check-in at klia2 and all departure airports in its network. Recommended arrival times:
- Domestic flights: At least 2 hours before scheduled departure
- International flights: At least 3 hours before scheduled departure
AirAsia Malaysia check-in counters close 45 minutes before domestic departures at airports other than KLIA Terminal 2, and 60 minutes before international departures. At KLIA Terminal 2, counters close 60 minutes before departure for all flights. Local requirements can affect procedures, so confirm the instructions for your departure airport. Passengers arriving after counter closure will not be accepted for the flight.
Online and Mobile Check-in
AirAsia offers web and mobile app check-in for eligible bookings. Some passengers, routes or document checks still require airport-counter assistance; review the instructions for your actual itinerary:
- When available: Generally opens 14 days before departure and closes 1 hour before departure for AirAsia and AirAsia X. For travel to or from Australia, Laos, Saudi Arabia, Singapore or Thailand, the opening window is 10 days. Confirm any airport or route-specific exception in your booking instructions before travelling.
- How to access: Via the AirAsia app (MOVE) or the AirAsia website
- Benefits: Skip the check-in counter queue and proceed directly to baggage drop (if you have checked baggage) or head straight to security screening and the departure gate
- Boarding pass: Download your mobile boarding pass or print it at home
Self-service check-in kiosks are also available at klia2 and other major airports, allowing passengers to print their boarding passes and baggage tags on-site.
Cabin Classes and In-Flight Experience
Economy Class
AirAsia Malaysia operates an all-economy cabin configuration. Seat features include:
- Standard seats: Economy seating; seat space and layout depend on the aircraft and selected seat
- Hot seats: Extra-legroom seats and front-row seats available for an additional fee, ideal for passengers who want more space or faster disembarkation
- Seat selection: Choose your preferred seat — window, middle, or aisle — during booking on Traveloka or via AirAsia's online check-in
In-Flight Meals and Beverages (Santan Menu)
AirAsia’s basic Low Fare does not automatically include a meal. A meal may be included in an eligible paid bundle, while other passengers can purchase it separately; check the inclusions on the actual ticket. Instead, the airline offers a popular buy-on-board dining experience branded as the Santan in-flight menu:
- Meal options: A rotating menu of hot meals inspired by Asian cuisines, including Malaysian favourites such as Nasi Lemak Pak Nasser, Nasi Dagang, and Chicken Rendang with Rice
- Snacks and drinks: A selection of sandwiches, cup noodles, snacks, soft drinks, coffee, tea, and water
- Pre-booking meals: Where available, passengers can pre-order meals through the booking flow or AirAsia's app. Menus and availability depend on the flight, so check the options shown for your itinerary.
- Halal: All Santan meals are made from halal ingredients
In-Flight Entertainment
AirAsia does not provide a built-in seatback entertainment system. Passengers are encouraged to download movies, shows, music, podcasts, or reading material to their personal devices before the flight. Onboard entertainment and connectivity depend on the aircraft and service. Check the information for your flight and bring downloaded content if you plan to use your own device.
Passenger Policies and Special Services
Travelling with Children and Infants
- Children (2–11 years): Must be accompanied by at least one adult aged 18 or above. Each child requires their own seat and a child fare ticket
- Infants (under 2 years): May travel on an accompanying adult’s lap, subject to AirAsia’s minimum-age, fee and passenger-per-adult rules; check current requirements before booking
- Required documents: Carry the identity and travel documents required for the route; international trips may require passports, visas, consent letters or other documents
- Strollers and car seats: A stroller used by the child can be checked free of charge. Confirm where to hand it over and collect it at the specific airports; cabin carriage, car-seat use and oversized items have separate size, safety and handling conditions.
Pregnant Passengers
- Up to 27 weeks inclusive: Inform AirAsia of the pregnancy when booking and at check-in, and sign the airline's Limited Liability Statement at check-in.
- 28 to 34 weeks inclusive: Provide an approved doctor's certificate confirming the number of weeks of pregnancy. It must be dated no more than 30 days before the relevant outbound or inbound flight. The Limited Liability Statement is also required at check-in.
- 35 weeks and above: AirAsia does not permit travel. Check the pregnancy stage for both journeys before booking a return ticket.
Discuss your travel plans with your healthcare provider before flying, and tell AirAsia about any pregnancy complications. Carry the required medical paperwork and allow time for the airline to check it at the airport.
Passengers Requiring Special Assistance
AirAsia provides dedicated assistance for passengers with disabilities, reduced mobility, or special requirements. Available services include:
- Wheelchair assistance from check-in through boarding and disembarkation (WCHR, WCHS, WCHC categories)
- Priority boarding for passengers requiring additional time
- Carriage of mobility aids including manual wheelchairs, electric wheelchairs (with dry cell or gel cell batteries), and walking frames
- AirAsia’s standard policy does not accept pets or animals on board. If you need disability-related assistance, contact the airline before booking to confirm arrangements for your specific AK flight.
Passengers who require special assistance should notify the airline or Traveloka at least 48 hours before departure to ensure arrangements are in place.
Unaccompanied Minors
- AirAsia does not offer an unaccompanied minor service. Children aged 12 to below 16 may travel alone; younger children must be accompanied by a passenger aged 18 years or above on all AirAsia flights
Reschedule, Cancellation, and Refund Policy
Rescheduling Flights
To reschedule an AirAsia flight booked through Traveloka:
- Open the Traveloka app or website and navigate to My Booking
- Select the AirAsia booking you wish to modify
- Choose the reschedule option and select a new flight date or time
- Pay any applicable rescheduling fees or fare differences
Rescheduling availability and fees depend on your fare type. Promotional and Value Pack fares may have more restrictive change conditions, while Premium Flex fares generally allow changes with lower or waived fees.
Cancellations and Refunds
Refund eligibility depends on your fare type and the circumstances of the cancellation:
- Voluntary cancellation: Once an AK booking is confirmed, voluntary cancellation is generally non-refundable. Country-specific rules and approved exceptional circumstances can apply, so check the rules attached to your ticket before requesting a refund. Choosing not to travel does not automatically entitle you to a credit account or voucher.
- Airline-initiated cancellation: Available refund or rebooking options depend on the airline rules and circumstances; review the choices shown in your booking
- Premium Flex fares: Offer flight-change benefits, but the bundle should not be treated as an automatically refundable fare. Review the actual ticket conditions and any separately purchased cancellation protection before paying; a flight-change benefit and a voluntary-refund entitlement are different conditions.
To request a cancellation or refund, visit the relevant booking details on Traveloka and review the options shown for your ticket. Submit any required supporting documents and check the request status. The airline’s approval, payment method and banking process affect the completion time, so use the estimate displayed for the actual request rather than assuming a fixed processing period.

Tips for Finding Cheap AirAsia Flights on Traveloka
Use these steps to compare available AirAsia flight options and plan any add-ons:

- Be flexible with dates — Compare available AirAsia departures across nearby dates in Traveloka's flight search.
- Compare weekdays and weekends — Check the schedules and total shown for the days that suit your trip; availability varies by date.
- Set Price Alerts — Use Traveloka Price Alert where available for your route and check the notification settings shown in your account.
- Check promotions regularly — Visit Traveloka’s promotions page and check each offer’s booking period, travel dates and conditions. Compare the total fare with the baggage and extras you need before deciding whether a promotion gives your trip better value.
- Compare travel periods — If your dates are flexible, compare school holidays, public holidays and major festivities with nearby dates; schedules and availability vary.
- Choose add-ons you need — Compare the ticket total with and without checked baggage, meals or seat selection, then choose the services that suit your trip.
- Review trip bundles — If you are also booking a hotel, review any flight-and-hotel bundle terms and the total shown for your dates before paying.
- Join AirAsia Rewards — Review eligible earning and redemption options in the AirAsia MOVE app. Attach your Rewards ID where supported, check whether your booking channel qualifies, and review point expiry and voucher conditions. Do not assume a Traveloka booking earns airline points or includes a free cabin upgrade.
