Overall a very good flight,staff on plane were very nice.And the flight was on time.A pleasant experience.

I asked for refund on many occassions due to a bereavement.I got no help,and I am very dissatisfied with the way I was treated. Regards George Walls

the rudest staff in the world!!! we had overweight baggage, which is our fault but it is a really stupid rule, and the woman said we could reorganise or pay now, we said we’d reorganise and she started shouting “do it now! hurry up!” even though the flight wasn’t even boarding yet. She told us that if our two cabin bags were below 14 together, then we wouldn’t have to pay 500k dong. We reorganised and our bags were below 14kg. She then said that it was all of our bags together that should be less than 14kg. We were obviously confused by this, because she had just said that it was our two cabin bags and we asked her why she told us to rearrange our bags then. She started shouting at us again saying that we needed to “pay now or throw away”. We said fine, we’ll just pay, and she suddenly started asking for 1.51 million dong. I asked her why it was suddenly over three times the price and she said that it was always that price. I asked to see the other piece of paper she had that had the other price and she slammed her one on top of it and started shouting “pay now or i’ll close the gate” (boarding was already finishing at this point). So, we had no choice but to pay three times the original price, even though we reorganised our cabin bags to be under the necessary weight like she had asked us to. I wouldn’t even be so upset about the money if the staff were at least a little bit nice. She was possibly the rudest, most ignorant woman I have ever met in my life. Besides that, the plane/flight was just a bit worse than ryanair standard. Small seats, delayed by an hour. Typical low budget. At least the ryanair staff don’t try to scam you. Avoid at all costs, it’s not worth the hassle of dealing with such horrible people.

The boarding process took very long, partly due to passengers on incoming flight took too long to deplane

The flight left on time and landed early. The attendants were polite and friendly. Thank you

Efficient and fast check in, courteous staff at counter and on board. On time departure and arrival. AIR ASIA is my favorite international thailand carrier for reasonable cost and excellent customer service!

Delayed us three times, changed gates twice, and then tried to charge for food on the plane.

Not good in terms of amenities. For over 6 hours they don’t even provide complementary drinks or snacks-forget about dinner or lunch.

Air Asia just dreadfull. Always poorest customer service and very unwelcoming staff which is clearly bread in from the Top down from the CEO

Everything was good. The red seats were a scam. Just like any other seat but red. Although they let you board earlier which was very nice.
