We need up having to run to the connecting flight at Kuala Lumpur because the arriving flight was late. Very unprofessional"

Cons: "Luggage was lost. Spent last night and all day today without a lot of the things we needed to make our current stay comfortable. We did not have adequate swimwear, contact lenses solution, and most importantly, my wife's medication. She fell ill last night and continued to feel sick today because she was not able to take her medicine. To top it off, my wife currently cannot find a favorite piece of clothing. It is green, lacy lingerie. We are sure it was packed before leaving our previous destination. Could you please check to see if this piece of clothing was located, either at the airport in Bali or in Kuala Lumpur? If found, please send to our next destination, Pingviman Hotel, Chiang Mai. Because of the inconvenience, including not having our luggage for an entire day, my wife feeling ill, and this loss of her valued item of clothing, we believe we deserve some compensation. We are very displeased with these circumstances and hope you agree that something needs to be offered to us to once again feel satisfied. Thank you for your time. John and Emily"
Cons: "We don't recive the e-tkt only the reservition"

Cons: "They lost our luggage but got it to us on a few hours"
Pros: "Very good service , small seats , good food"
Cons: "Seats"
Pros: "Safety concerns of crew"
Cons: "Seat pitch is ridiculously small for regional 737 aircraft. At 5 foot 7 inches, my knees touch the seat pocket. AND THE SEATS DO NOT RECLINE!!!!"
Pros: "It was barely two hours and that kept me from having to go to a Malaysian hospital."
Cons: "Having Multiple Sclerosis & extreme neuropathy plus being postop with two major abdominal surgeries just weeks before, I called customer service and they guaranteed my medical needs would be met at the gate. They were not and not having a bulkhead seat on the first 2 hour leg from Bangkok to Kuala Lumpur caused me massive pain and circulatory issues - in spite of surgical note requiring it. Not good assistance over phone or in Bangkok."
Pros: "The Crew in general was friendly and helpful"
Cons: "The food was disgusting so I didn't eat my second meal and the seats were cramped and uncomfortable."
Pros: "Was a good flight as usual."
Pros: "There was nothing worth mentioning to like"
Cons: "Attendants were pretty rude and at best not worth mentioning . After all the bad incidents was pretty nervous on that flight. Won't travel on this as far as possible again."
Cons: "No entertainment system, bathrooms only at the end."
Pros: "Excellent customer service...the flight attendants really put the passengers first. The food was also enjoyable and the in-flight entertainment choices were nice for varied interests"
Cons: "I received an email two days in advance informing me they had changed my flight to the previous day, including an overnight at an airport in another country for my connecting fight. I was unable to make these flights because of previously made travel plans I had made for my vacation and then were very unaccommodating about providing a refund or allowing me to change to another flight time. I will never fly with this airline again."
Pros: "The boarding process went well and was organized. The cabin staff was welcoming and very presentable. The seats were fine, even in economy. The uniforms on the cabin staff were attractive andnthey looked well on the girls. The staff, both male and female, were friendly and pleasant. The flight was fine, a little late, but not the fault of the airline. I would fly this airline again."
Cons: "Nothing major to complain about."
Pros: "Crew and staff are friendly enough. They seem to do their best with whatever is available to them."
Cons: "The Boeing 737 fleet is old and does not have any decent in-flight entertainment options. Without any announcement, the airline changed its policy on 01 Jan 2016 to NOT provide alcohol on "regional" flights. OK for economy class as a cost-cutting measure, but apply this to business class passengers means alienating high-paying, high-revenue, high-profit margin customers! This is ridiculous and although I am sympathetic to the recent issues surrounding the airline and have previously supported its turnaround plan, I hope the airline goes bankrupt. That seems to be the only way these people learn how to properly run and manage an airline."
Pros: "Malasian it's great food it's good service perfect and they're generous with luggage Connectin fight's schedule was tight but they were perfectly on time"
Pros: "n/a"
Cons: "incredibly rude staff (though it was just one, no one else was available to help either): ignored request to fix non-functioning entertainment system, skipped us for meals AND drinks, and generally ignored our concerns when we were very kind in asking"
Pros: "I took the Time to fill your form...very good staff..very good flight"
Cons: "I went to the toilet, an hostess was leaving and she didn't pick up the little pieces of paper which were on the floor!!!!(I did it because the flight was pleasant I couldn't not to do it)"
Cons: "plane interior very basic, no headrest cover. landing was rough and scary."

Pros: "nothing"
Cons: "very slow and insufficient service. not enough personal. Didn't even get a tea served."
Pros: "my luggage lost watch and headset"

Pros: "Nothing."
Cons: "If seats could recline or have a pillow maybe."
Pros: "Smooth boarding"
Cons: "Leg room"
Pros: "Crew was quick to serve any on-board item I ordered. Happily served with a smile"
Cons: "I’ve been traveling with AirAsia since quite a few years, but recently AirAsia flights are being delayed quite often. This is not how budget airlines usually work. They’re known for their on-time operations. I hope AirAsia works to improve on this issue."
Cons: "On time"
Pros: "Our seats were comfortable and the landing was smooth"
Cons: "All food and drink had to be paid for -even water!"
Pros: "Airport crew was friendly and provided umbrellas to everyone as they boarded plane. Managed brief rain-related departure delay well. Nice in flight travel magazine."
Cons: "Bag fees were high. I misunderstood when booking as website said on bag (meaning "cabin bag"/"carry on"), so not only did I have to pay the standard luggage cost for my one check in bag but also a same-day late fee, making it twice as expensive."
Pros: "Pleasant counter service at the terminal."
Cons: "Half hour late"
Pros: "Nope"
Cons: "Flight delayed 2hrs"
Pros: "The aircraft was very clean!"
Cons: "2 months travel in SE Asia, 11 flights , 7 airlines. Only this flight did they want to charge hundreds for our luggage. They brought it down a bit but still cost more tha the tickets."
Pros: "Ease of checking in -- and getting to the gate."
Cons: "The short space between seats. Hard to get comfortable without room for knees. Have to pay extra for an aisle even if some are empty. Crew doesn't care."
Pros: "Flight delayed close to 2 hours. Only notified once we we’re in the boarding hall"
Cons: "Flight delayed close to 2 hours. Only notified once we we’re in the boarding hall"
Cons: "Duplicitous and sneaky policies. They tried to scam us out of $175 to check our luggage (it turns out we only should pay $16). Be careful."
Pros: "friendly cabin crew"
Cons: "delayed flights"
Pros: "Pilot was communicative and smooth landing"
Cons: "Long check in. Didn't allow us to mobile or online check in for some reason"
Pros: "Upfront notification of delays"
Cons: "Delayed flight time, not much entertainment in flight"
Pros: "very affordable fare"
Cons: "No beverage even water. Bring your own water"
Cons: "Flight delayed no free water never again"
Pros: "quick check-in and no-nonsense."
Cons: "They were fine."
Cons: "The delays......"
Pros: "Very little"
Cons: "Flight delayed by around over 7 hours. Only discovered this when went to check in. This has meant we are currently stuck in KL airport awaiting a morning flight having already paid for a nights accommodation in Penang. Airline has refused to take any responsibility for the situation."
Cons: "The leg room is deplorable. My knees were continuously hitting the hard seat in front of me and going sideways wasn't even an option. I've never had this happen to me before. I'm a female and 5'9 and this is the least space I've ever had on a flight. So uncomfortable I can't imagine a long flight with this airline, which is good to know because now I will not use them for flying to Malaysia from NYC. Also both flights were delayed by nearly an hour each."
Cons: "Almost impossible to request wheel chair service for elderly even if we are willing to pay for it. Any add-ons or extra services come with unreasonably hefty (and hidden) price tag. I would absolutely avoid flying AirAsia at all cost in the future."
Pros: "It's good when u pay rm50 something, but later u will have to wait!"
Cons: "Chaotic boarding, and of course, around an hour delay."
Pros: "Service ..very good"
Cons: "Flight Delay"
Cons: "Would be better if they had WIFI on Flight"
Pros: "Staff, flight, seats, etc. were all good. We will fly Air Asia more in the future."
Cons: "Nothing to complain about. Everything went as seamless as a flight can be."
Pros: "We reached our destination"
Cons: "When researching flights, I really wish AirAsia's procedures were spelled out. Having to pay for each checked bag and each kg over a relatively low allowance was extremely annoying. Even worse, each leg of the flight (due to a layover) required payment. In addition, paying for the seat, paying for peanuts and water?? Probably the worst was the air crew refusing to give a blanket to my freezing fiance without purchasing the pillow, blanket and eye mask bundle. Seriously?? Then towards the end of the flight, the crew walk the aisles holding alcohol and perfume trying to peddle their duty-free products on the plane itself. It was quite evident by this point that the competitve ticket price is a hoax, and all that they are interested in is getting as much money from you as possible. Unless I have no choice, I will never fly this airline again. Please, warn people of these practices BEFORE they purchase the tickets!!"
Pros: "Overall not bad the flight left on time and was a good flight."
Cons: "Please be forewarned, pay for your bags ahead of time if you can figure out how. We had a short flight from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur and had not paid for our bags. It ended up costing us more for two bags than the flight for the both of us. For that reason alone I would probably not fly with them again unless it was the only option."
Pros: "On time flight. Pleasant attendants"
Cons: "It was my first time flying a LCC. OK, it is my fault for not knowing they charge much higher rate of extras for any add-ons you fail to include when you first book the flight. I get it. But why do they make it impossible to access "manage your flight" online to make necessary changes on return flight? And I got nowhere with the online chat box, s nowhere to turn.... Making such changes on Tiger Air was so much easier and intuitive. I'll never fly Air Asia if I can help it."
Cons: "Everything also must charge, the worst one is even you pay them money they still want to charge extra, seat is the smallest among all airline."
Cons: "I was charged $94 canadian to check one bag that weighed in at 10kg. I honestly thought the man at the desk was joking. After that he sneered at me and suggested that if I had not booked through Kayak and instead through the airline, that it would be a little cheaper. He then pushed me to hand over my credit card so he could charge me. From then on all I have to say is that the planes have no entertainment, no leg room (they are known for the insanely tight seats) and no food. Not even a drop of water was offered unless you pay on board. Interesting...I wonder what they do then with all of the money they took to accept my one bag (it was seriously 10k, I'm a small girl travelling alone there was nothing large about it). All that to say, I wish I could get some money back, I would never have paid so much to check a bag if I had the opportunity to cancel the flight all together. I'm beyond unhappy with my experience."
Pros: "Good price - efficient transportation"
Cons: "Having to scramble to find money for water. I understand that it is a very well priced airlines but when you are stuck in a plane water would be nice to be free"
Pros: "On time"
Cons: "The seats are so close together one had to sit with legs spread apart and fold out tray hit your chest when opened. Staff spend more time selling AirAsia paraphanila and duty free than attending customers. No water nothing is offered for free. One flight booked had one luggage Free and the next we paid 72americian for 1 small suitcase. No info provided on luggage when booking. Sneaky way to make money. Use Firefly Airlines for a great budget airline"
Pros: "Love the staff"
Cons: "Everything was expensive"
Pros: "Nothing."
Cons: "Bag fees not clear and totally unreasonable, no way to check in or check bags online unless you register with their nosy BIG Points. Late by 1.5 hours! Can't get ANYTHING to eat or drink without paying in local currency cash, not even water. Seats squished together and really uncomfortable. Baggage takes a long time to come out. Poor wayfinding at Kuala Lumpur Airport."
Cons: "All was good"
Cons: "The seats were awful, outdated, no charging ports, tv didn't' work, air didn't work, crew were awful/rude... even checking in my bag upon arriving at the airport was an ordeal. If I can help it, I won't be flying Air Asia again!!!"
Pros: "It was nice to see a vegetarian option on an in flight menu. The vegetarian curry was nice."
Cons: "We arrived a full 2 hours before our flight, as did many other people. Unfortunately, as they only had 2 people working at the check-in desk, we waited in line for over an hour to get checked in. Everyone was telling the staff that we were all at risk of missing our flight (as we still needed to clear security and immigration), however nothing changed. The girls behind the desk seemed genuinely flustered and sorry about the situation, but unfortunately no one else came to support. We made our flight by the skin of our teeth, but it seems that people in line behind us weren't so lucky."
Pros: "Krabi airport discount terminal had no air conditioning. It has been broken down for while and poor AirAsia staff and the airport employees have been enduring working in heat. How can AirAsia let this happen while collecting airport tax fees? Complained to the airport manager and filed a refund for airport tax fees with AirAsia airport manager"
Cons: "Really choppy flying and a bad landing. No free food or even drink, no space"
Pros: "Bad rude late service no one should travel this airlines. If you add everything they are but that cheap either. I give 0 out of 10."
Pros: "It arrived at the destination"
Cons: "Small seats, long check in lines (only 2 agents for hundreds of people), long boarding times, unclear baggage fees, and delays."
Cons: "No food or drinks on board."
Pros: "Arrived alive"
Cons: "Messed about by several Air Asia crew..bounced around from one desk to the next. Absolutely nobody wanting to take responsibility and offer any service. And you wonder why people lose it at airports. Day two in Langkawi and still no sight if bag. Air Asia care factor - ZERO."
Pros: "Was on time .. no delays"
Cons: "Air asi is always late. This time one and a half hours. Also staff very average with friendliness. Cheaper flight but rather pay more and have a more flowing and more professional enjoable trip. Below average. Hope they canstep it up."
Pros: "Very inexpensive. On time, safe, clean"
Cons: "$36 to check bag felt like bait and switch. Bag would fit in overhead but they forced me to check it."
