Delayed, Bumped or Missing a Bag: What Malaysian Air Passenger Rules Actually Give You in 2026
School holidays run to 6 September and Malaysia Day falls on a Wednesday, so the airports are busy and the questions come back every year. Two hours late and you are owed meals, calls and internet. Five hours late and you are owed a hotel if you have to stay the night, or the full ticket price back in the way you paid, within 30 days. A bag that goes missing is covered to 1,288 Special Drawing Rights, which is about RM7,120 at Bank Negara's published rate. One thing has changed and most guides have not caught up: the agency you complain to is no longer MAVCOM. Its old website does not even resolve any more.
