Hello all,
I am planning to fly between Hong Kong and Bangkok with Air Asia soon. When I fly this route I like to do a fair bit of duty free shopping(!). The airlines website states that customers are only allowed to take one piece of handluggage into the cabin but it does not state whether this includes any duty free purchases or not (for some context, Ryanair explicitly forbid any extra duty free bags whilst Easyjet allow for a 'reasonable amount' in addition to your handluggage). Last time I flew Air asia they were pretty relaxed about this but the more turbulant the industry gets, the more airlines seem to be tightening their policies up (partucularly those which want to maximise ancilliary revenues)...
Does anyone have any recent experience of flying with Air Asia either short or long haul? Were they strict on hand luggage? I'd be grateful for any advice
