Effective immediately, Malaysia Airlines will be carrying out further operational implementation at various customer touch points of our Single Cabin Baggage Policy (SHLP). This applies for all classes of travel system-wide.

This Policy will be strictly enforced to ensure the safety and comfort of passengers in the cabin. This includes minimizing injury caused by oversized baggage falling from overhead compartments, as well as ensuring sufficient stowage for all guests in the cabin.

Malaysia Airlines front liners will sight and check guests’ cabin baggage. We seek your support and assistance to communicate this Single Cabin Baggage Policy to minimize delays at the airport and avoid hassles of guests repacking baggage.
