Malaysia Airlines: check-in

Malaysia Airlines is a carrier widely known for its reward-winning service, the immense beauty of its air hostesses and a colourful livery of some of its planes.

In today's post we will take a look at the check-in options that this airline offers.

Malaysia Airlines check-in online

Self-service is the way to go if you appreciate convenience and want to say goodbye to airport queues. When using the web check-in, what you need is e-ticket number, passenger name & flight details. Once logged in, select your seat and print your boarding card. You can check in up to 9 travellers. This option is available from 48 hours up to 90 minutes prior to departure.

Online check-in is applicable to all flights except for flights from Airport Los Angeles, Xiamen, Brunei, Kunming as well as the following routes: Kuala Lumpur -Los Angeles and Taipei – Los Angeles.

What is next? If you are travelling without check-in baggage on a domestic route, simply go straight to the boarding gate. When travelling abroad, proceed to the self check-in service counter with your travel documents at the latest 60 minutes prior to departure. If you carry check-in baggage, go to the bag drop counter or check-in counter at the latest 60 minutes prior to departure. Do not forget to bring your boarding card!

If you chose to take advantage of counter check-in, remember to arrive at the airport with your travel documents before the deadline. Malaysia Airlines suggest you show up 2 hours prior to departure for international flights and 1 hour prior to departure for domestic flights.

  Hi Chris,

  The rates for excess baggage vary depending on the route. On international routes it's 1.5% of the highest normal direct one-way flight per kg.

  Hi Muhamad,

  We are sorry to hear about your bad experiences. Did you talk to the customer service? What was their reaction? I assume they should show some interest, should they not?

  THE SYSTEM IS VERY MESSY, I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO ENTER MY DEPARTURE AIRPORT AS MIRI AND AFTER TAKING IT FROM THE SELECTION LIST IT DOES NOT WORK!

  MOREOVER MY ENRICH CARD IS SAID TO BE INVALID. I HAVE BEEN AN ENRICH SILVER CARD HOLDER FOR SEVERAL YEARS.

  IN GENERAL THE SYSTEM IS UNFRIENDLY AND IN COMPARISON WITH AIR ASIA'S SYSTEM IS A LOSER!
