Short Flight help

Hi,

I will be traveling with the fam in Spring of this year. I need to book a short haul flight from SIN to KL (RT) and per google flights, there are some cheap flights. The price varies and I was wondering if they all include luggages or I have to pay out of pocket. I will have at least 2 piece of luggage and per 2 mini strollers since my origin is from the U.S

I am booking SIN to KL as a separate flight. Any recommendation on the flights I should take? Should I just go with JetStar or AirAsia since its so cheap ($40 to $50 USD)



Two adult, Two child (4 & 6)

JetStar
AirAsia
TigerAir
Malaysia
Singapore Air

Thanks

SQ & MH generally include some baggage allowance, but you must verify before booking to confirm, and the others are LLCs which often do not include a checked baggage allowance. Sometimes the LLCs can still be cheaper with the luggage fees but it all depends on the different between what a mainline airline such as SQ or MH and what the LLCs are charging.

If you go on the AirAsia website and try a booking they will normally show you fares with and without baggage included. The very cheap fares will almost certainly not include baggage fees.

never flown Jetstar or AirAsia. Are they any good?

Plus, i was able to find MH Flight for $75 RT. Should I just go with that?

At first, I was thinking SQ but if the flights with MH or other brand is clean/safe, I rather save a few pennies

If it's $40-50 + luggage fees on an LCC and $75 on MH with luggage I'd go MH. It'll be on a 737, probably, for a short hop and they have multiple flights per day if things do go south.

I flew AirAsia last year from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap. The flight was actually pretty good, new planes, they charge for everything but that is ok with me.
