AirAsia Carry-On & Personal Item Size (2025 Guide)

✅ AirAsia allows all passengers 1 carry-on up to 22 × 14 × 9 inches (56 × 36 × 23 cm), plus 1 small personal item (handbag, laptop bag, or backpack).
Combined weight of both items must not exceed 15 lbs (7 kg). Wheels and handles count toward the size.

How to Measure Your Bag

  1. Measure including wheels and handles.
  2. Ensure main carry-on is under 22 × 14 × 9 inches.
  3. Add carry-on + personal item weight together — must stay under 7 kg.
  4. Test personal item under the seat.

Gotchas / Common Issues

  • AirAsia strictly enforces the 7 kg combined rule.
  • Many travelers caught by thinking both items can be 7 kg each — it’s combined.
  • Oversized or overweight bags incur extra fees at the gate.
