The flight delay... but bus from the airport be on time
The flight delay... but bus from the airport be on time
Bad experience, delay like no tomorrow. Original schedule departure time at 9:30pm, delayed until 12:05am only depart.
Great. Very satisfied with a direct flight from Penang back to HK international. Stewards in the cabin were very friendly and helpful. Would not hesitate to fly with Air Asia in the future.
Second time flying on AirAsia. They’re fine for a low cost carrier, so I don’t expect high level hospitality. They could have informed us that the flight would be delayed even if by a few minutes, instead of the passengers asking the gate agents why we’re not boarding 8 minutes before takeoff. And given some of the passengers on this particular flight were problematic, the crew did great handling such people.
Meh, it was AirAsia. It's not about a quality.
Great flight. Achieve my objecttive of travelling with less hassle .
They didn't have a single blanket for hire for a long haul overnight flight. This wasn't good enough even for a budget airline
Kayak shares with you the best price! and in my case it was Air Asia flight. Air Asia flight was on time, the boarding was seamless with FACES technology at KLIA2 and the pilot made a great smooth landing upon arrival. Excellent trip!
I left the city late and fortunately the flight was also delayed 50mins
Air Asia’s standard has dropped tremendously post pandemic. The whole organisation feels ‘soul-less’
