AirAsia Carryons

here are many ways to reduce weight in your carry-on if they weigh it at the counter. For example:

- Load heavier items like iPod, phone, camera into all your pockets
- Wear any clothing that you have in your carry-on
- If travelling with someone else, check in separately and have them look after a few of your heavy items eg. laptop and then swap when they check in
- In smaller airports I have even taken my laptop out of the bag, put it under a seat by the check-in desk and then checked in without it in my bag
- At a rural airport I also left some items hidden in the bushes outside!
- If you drive a car to the airport, leave your laptop/heavy items in the car and then go back to collect them afterwards
- If you have lounge access (for AirAsia this would be the small landside lounge at KUL LCCT) you can check into the lounge and leave your bag with the attendant for a few moments while checking in
- Charm the check-in person. If you know there's no other way to remove the weight you can admit you think it's too heavy before they weigh it and usually they'll be nicer about it
