Malawi Airlines

Allowed dimensions: Somme des 3 dimensions <= 115 cm · Maximum weight: 8 kg (Classe Affaires), 7 kg (Classe Économique)

The context in a few words

Malawi Airlines mostly operates within Malawi and its immediate neighbours. It's the typical regional carrier profile: a tight fleet, focused routes, and a baggage policy that mirrors the regional norm.

Format-wise, Somme des 3 dimensions <= 115 cm and 8 kg (Classe Affaires), 7 kg (Classe Économique) max sit in the expected range. A "major-airline format" cabin case clears without trouble.

In concrete terms: a typical "cabin format" suitcase weighs 2–3 kg empty for 55×40×20 cm. On Malawi Airlines, once filled, the usable margin against the 8 kg (Classe Affaires), 7 kg (Classe Économique) ceiling shrinks to a few kilos. Frequent travellers tune the bag to exact spec to avoid gate-side reclassification fees.

On the ground, agent discretion is wider than on majors. A bag that's slightly over may pass; a clearly oversized one ends up in the hold, sometimes free of charge, but with extra wait at arrival.

Malawi Airlines doesn't communicate clearly on the additional personal item. Counter experience favours a small handbag; beyond that, check with the agent or consolidate in the main suitcase to avoid boarding refusal.
