Just for comparison, I was allowed through the "check area" in KUL with Air Asia as my luggage fit their metal rack, but LX denied to take the very same hand luggage on board more than once because their racks are smaller than their size limits.. it's really annoying and I've already written to them about it, without any reaction..
