What If You Bring More? AirAsia Philippines Lets You Check In as Many Bags as You Need
21 July 2026, Manila, Philippines — As more travelers return home with extra pasalubong, souvenirs, and shopping finds, AirAsia Philippines is reminding guests that they can check in as many bags as they need, with no limit on the number of checked bags, as long as the total weight remains within their purchased or complimentary baggage allowance.
Guests may buy checked baggage allowances ranging from 20kg to 60kg, providing flexibility for both short getaways and extended trips. For safety reasons, however, each individual checked bag must not exceed 32kg, even if a higher baggage allowance has been purchased.
However, if you have purchased more than 30 kg of baggage allowance, please note that each bag you will be checking-in must follow the following requirements:
Several essential mobility items may be checked in free of charge, including:
Baby strollers, buggies, and prams
Wheelchairs and mobility devices
Crutches and walking frames
PRE-BOOKED TO AVOID OTHER FEES
Guests who purchase checked baggage before departure can save up to Php 919 compared to airport rates. Checked baggage can be purchased conveniently via the AirAsia MOVE app, the AirAsia website, or Ask Bo.
BUYING ADDITIONAL BAGGAGE AFTER BOOKING
Guests who wish to add or upgrade their checked baggage allowance after completing their booking may conveniently do so through the Manage My Booking feature or by chatting with Ask Bo up to two hours before their scheduled departure. Checked baggage may also be added at the airport check-in counter, subject to applicable airport baggage rates.
To purchase or upgrade checked baggage through Ask Bo:
Chat with Ask Bo on the AirAsia MOVE app or website.
Type "Purchase Add-ons (Seats, Baggage, Meals)".
Select "Baggage" and follow the on-screen instructions to complete your purchase.
CABIN BAGGAGE
For cabin baggage, guests are entitled to two carry-on items—one cabin bag and one personal item like a laptop bag or a hand bag—with a combined weight of up to 7kg. Those who need additional cabin space may opt for Xtra Carry-On, which increases the cabin baggage allowance to 14kg when pre-booked.
As travelers continue to embrace spontaneous shopping, longer vacations, and meaningful trips home, AirAsia Philippines' flexible baggage policy ensures guests can bring home more of what matters—without worrying about the number of bags they check in.
