AirAsia FAQ

09/01/2014 Tommy Ooi AirAsia FAQ 640

AirAsia FAQPeople either LOVE or HATE Air Asia. To decrease frustration, it would be wise to understand more about Air Asia.

Due to the amount of repeated question asked, I have decided to post AirAsia FAQ to allow users to seek answer without needing to wait.

From my experience, Air Asia facebook customer service crews are doing a great job in trying to answer everyone’s question. But hey, they are humans too so they might miss out 1 or 2 questions or even reply later than you expected.

AirAsia FAQ

1. Can I change name on AirAsia ticket?

Please note that name change option will no longer be available for all destinations effective 25th July 2014.

For an error, misspelling, or wrong sequence, changes will only be allowed for the following:

Typo error
Add on/removal of English name for Chinese guest
Title and gender change
Sequence change – swap of first name and last name is allowed

Please note that these changes are subject to approval.

2. What if I plan to cancel my AirAsia flight? Can I claim for refund? How long will I need to wait?

You can only claim AIRPORT TAX refund once the flight date has passed & only for international flight. It normally takes 3 – 4 months time before Air Asia refunds you the money.

To ensure a smooth refund process, please provide the following details:

(a) If payment is made by credit card:
1. The Reservation/ Booking Reference Number

(b) If payment is made by Direct Debit or Cash or Travel Agent:
1. The Reservation/ Booking Reference Number
2. Bank Account Number
3. Bank Name
4. Name of Account Holder

3. How many bags can i hand carry on board? Whats the maximum weight allowed?

All passengers are allowed to hand carry 1 bag ( excluding laptop bag & ladies handbag ). The maximum amount of weight for hand carry is 7kg & provided that it DOES NOT EXCEED the dimensions of 56cm X 36cm X 23cm.

4. Can i change my flight date? Is it free or what are the charges? How can i change it?

Yes, you can change your flight date subject to a CHANGE FEES + FARE DIFFERENCE CHARGE. There are 2 ways to change your flight.

1st.  Log in your Air Asia Web Account & change under MANAGE MY BOOKING – MODIFY. Once you change the date, total amount of money will be shown. If you are okay with the fees, click confirm and proceed payment. If not, then just click other page to cancel the changes.

2nd. Go to the nearest Air Asia Sales Counter / Airport Counter to seek assistance to change. Find out the nearest Air Asia office

For info on : Fees & Charges

5. AirAsia changed my flight date/time! Can we change it? How much will it cost? How to change it? Can i ask for refund?

If Air Asia changed your flight date/time, you ARE ALLOWED to change your flight date/time for FREE subject the change is more than 3 hours from your original flight.

Go to the nearest AirAsia Sales Counter / Airport Counter to change. Find out the nearest Air Asia office

AirAsia allows you to RETAIN THE VALUE of the fare you paid in a credit account for your future travel provided you rebook within three (3) months therefrom.

6. I spelled my name wrongly. How to change? Am i allowed to check in?

If your name has minor mistake, don’t worry. Air Asia will allow you to check in without problem. If you insist on changing, you will need to tweet AskAirAsia on Twitter.

7. I bought air ticket at RM100. However when i try to buy another ticket, the price has increased !! Why?

Air Asia ticket pricing is TIERED SYSTEM based on supply & demand. For example, the 1st 10 ticket price is RM100, the next 20 ticket price is RM125, the following 20 ticket price is RM175 and goes on. It is a matter of luck & how quickly you are to get the cheapest price.

8. I bought AirAsia ticket last week however the price has dropped today! Can i ask for refund for fare differences?

Unfortunately No. AirAsia DOES NOT ALLOW passengers to claim refund.

Hopefully they will allow in future so passengers who buy early can buy in peace and increase customers loyalty to Air Asia. Most developed countries like US, UK, Japan & Australia practice refund so hopefully Air Asia will follow soon.

9. I am pregnant / hospitalized / a passenger has passed away & cant make the flight. Can i ask for refund? How?

Air Asia will place the value of the fare you paid in a credit account for your future travel which must be utilized within three (3) months from the date of issue.

You will need to provide the necessary documents ( doctor’s letter, death certificate ) to Air Asia sales counter / airport counter to prove the reason is valid.

10. Can i bring cosmetic or liquid on board the plane?

Subject to the prevalent applicable local laws and regulations passengers may take liquids on board in their hand luggage provided they meet the following restrictions:

  1. The liquid is in a container with a maximum volume of 100ml
  2. That all liquid containers meeting the maximum volume of 100ml each can be fitted comfortably into a transparent, re-sealable 1 litre plastic bag

The plastic bag should be presented separately at security. You may be required to dispose of liquids which do not meet the above requirements.

11. If I miss an onward flight because of an AirAsia flight delay, will I receive a complimentary seat or obtain a refund?

If you fail to check-in on time or board the aircraft by the boarding time, the fare you paid is not refundable. You will have to make another booking on the next available flight.

  1. MAY I KNOW HOW MUCH PLANE TICKET ON MAY 5,2011,LET ME KNOW THE AMOUNT DETAILS ON THE 1ST 2 WEEKS.I WANT TO GO FROM MALAYSIA TO CHENNAI

  2. I have some questions regarding the ticketing system.Can I buy directly from the Air Asia counter in KL Sentral as I don’t have neither a debit card nor a credit card?Hence, do I enjoy the promo price as listed in Air Asia website?Besides, when do I have to check-in my flight before the departure time?Thanks!

  3. I have a question to ask. i bought the air asia ticket on last year on promo price but the ticket was bought wrongly on which my departure time should be on the afternoon instead i bought the morning flight back.
    can i change the time and does it include any extra fee to pay? i urgently needed to know as my flight be going on coming month. please advised…….

    • Hi,

      There will be Change Fees Charges and Fare Differences Charges occurred for your case..

      I would advise you not to change as it is not worth it.. Ending up the Extra Cost might be even more expensive than your Promo Ticket

      • How if i already make amendment but not pay yet and i wish to cancel the amendment and remain with original departure time. Is it possible ?

  5. hi, Air Asia changed my flight date/time and i bought the ticket without the insurance… so do i still able to change my flight date/time for FREE ?

      • LOL – good luck with THAT. Generally, their policy is summed up as “you are screwed, we’re keeping the money, now give us more money for a new ticket and additional fees.

          • Hi Tommy you sound like you probably work for them and are not a real customer. If they had cancelled our Siem Reap to Bangkok flight, causing us to miss our connection (separate booking) in Bangkok to Chiang Mai (also on Airasia) – they would have charged us for a whole new ticket for the 2nd leg even though it is still the same airline and booked directly through them.

            Bottom line is Airasia is the worst airline we have EVER flown with. Their customer service is totally non-existent and they charge for every little thing. The 7 KG hard limit for onboard luggage is totally ridiculous. They should simply charge more for 7-15, 15-25 etc.

          • Hi John, is a pity you didnt contact me earlier, I could have advise you how to get it change in a simple manner. The lack of understanding how AirAsia works which is the main reason leading to your experience. Though their customer service is bad, there are ways to overcome it. And thats why travelers visit this blog 🙂

          • Hi Tommy,

            Sorry, but actually you are not looking at this properly. You are taking their side, rather than how a business should act – to take reasonable care of one’s customer – even for a budget airline. The pity is that Airasia has horrible customer service. Beyond this, their staff are often either rude or indifferent.

            Consider just ONE thing that you wrote above – 3-4 MONTHS to get back a refund for taxes?! That is anything but reasonable. And you KNOW this to be true.

            This has nothing to do with “my understanding of their policies”. The issue is that they choose to be unyielding and unhelpful – especially when they SHOULD.

            Their Very Poor reputation is VERY Well-Established. One only needs to do a quick Google search for “airasia customer service” to see exactly the reputation they have. There are entire websites dedicated to avoiding the extra charges that they try to sneak onto every booking and ticket.

            FYI – We did NOT get screwed on our trip but we COULD have – and WOULD have – if they cancelled our return from Cambodia (our connecting flight from Bangkok to Chiang Mai was a different booking). Any other airline would have simply rebooked the 2nd leg at no cost regardless that it a different booking since it is still the same airline. Airasia would have told us that we were out of luck. You also know this to be true but for some incredible reason you choose to take their side? One must assume that Airasia pays you, etc.

            I do appreciate that you have created a site that attempts to help customers “adapt to airasias way of doing things”. It is useful that you have done so. This doesn’t change the fact that Airasia needs to change some of their policies to better meet the Expectations and Needs of their Customers. Otherwise, our next trip will be on another carrier. There are a LOT of choices for flights around SE Asia. Nearly all of them are about the same cost. Airaisa needs to do better or we’ll just use a different carrier.

          • Hi John, sorry we arent taking any side. Like you mention 3 or 4 months for refund. Our tone used was to warn ppl it will take that long and not telling ppl 3 to 4 months is very fast. Also in another AirAsia ASEAN post we mentioned all the downside and not praising them as if it was perfect. We fund our own blog so there is no point to side them at all. If it can be done, we will say it can be done, if cant be done, we will say it cant be done

  6. Am I allowed to carry a large handbag and a hand luggage.

    Is there any extra baggage allowance given by air asia for passengers who are migrating instead of the maximim 30kg.

    • Hi Cherlina,

      As for now, 30kg is the maximum weight you can purchase on AirAsia.
      Any more than that you will required to pay extremely expensive price
      of RM30 – RM40 per kg.

      If you need more weight, it is advisable to look for a shipping
      company service instead.

      Hope it helps.

  7. I buy ticket by online using my credit card and send details to my wife to fly from her home town to my place. Obviously she can’t produce my credit card details at her departure location. Is there any problem to her there or can she fly showing her ticket itself only? Pls advice.

  8. Tommy, thanks for reply my question… i wanna ask that if after i changed my ticket to other date due to the airasia changed my flight time… but if the changed ticket’s time change again, would i able to change the date again for the second times?

  10. I buy ticket by online using my credit card and send details to my wife to fly from her home town to my place. Obviously she can’t produce my credit card details at her departure location. Is there any problem to her there or can she fly showing her ticket itself only? Pls advice.

  12. Hi, tommy, i have know that we can refund the airport taxes if we would like to cancel our flight but how about airport fee, airasia insure return (1-10 days) and convenience fee? Can we refund the 3 of the mentioned also?

  14. HI Tommy,

    I’ve bought 4 tickets for the same destination and time.
    However, something came up and i have to change one of the tickets date to the next day.
    So, is it possible to only change one and not the four together?

    Thanks.

    • Hi Christina,

      Yes you are able to change 1 ticket date instead of all 4 tickets. You will need to proceed to the nearest AirAsia sales counter or airport counter to amend it.

      Please note it is also subject to Penalty Fees + Fare Difference Charges.

      Hope it helps.

  16. I bought 5 tickets online for 13 july 2011 (Dhaka-KL-Dhaka). But Air Asia has declared to cancel all flights from 1 July 2011 from Bangladesh for good. They also dont have any representatives or local office in Bangladesh. How can I get my refunds? Can u please give me any weblink to apply for refunds?

  17. Hi tommy,

    I bought a ticket but my passport expired so i got a new passport. My airasia ticket was booked with my old passport. If I change it on the airasia manage my booking site do I have to pay money? Or do i have to pay money even if i am on the phone?

    • Hi Ramlan,

      There is no difference at all. Both also AirAsia flight just different country operation. (Malaysia & Indonesia)

      Service Quality remain the same

  21. Dear
    I want to book a ticket from seoul to kualalumpur but I do not have Visa or Master card and no Aisasia offices are here in Korea I only have ATM for Wooribank
    what should I do?
    Thanks

  22. Hi Tommy,

    I flew several times with AirAsia from Dhaka to Kl. Now the AirAsia flights are off for Bangladesh. Can you tell whether the AirAsia service will start again or not? thanks

  23. Hi Tommy,

    About this:-
    If Air Asia changed your flight date/time, you ARE ALLOWED to change your flight date/time for FREE subject the change is more than 3 hours from your original flight.

    Could you advice where did you see this in Airasia?
    I had read in Article 9:- It didn’t mentioned change is more than 3 hours.

    Cancellation, Changes of Schedules: At any time after a booking has been made we may change our schedules and/or cancel, terminate, divert, postpone reschedule or delay any flight where we reasonably consider this to be justified by circumstances beyond our control or for reasons of safety or commercial reasons. In the event of such flight cancellation, we shall at our option, either:

    carry you at the earliest opportunity on another of our scheduled services on which space is available without additional charge and, where necessary, extend the validity of your booking; or

    should you choose to travel at another time, retain the value of your fare in a credit account for your future travel provided that you must re-book within three (3) months therefrom.

    • Hi Patrick,

      If less than 3 hours, you can only change within the same day. If there is no other flight on same day, you can change within 1 week.

      More than 3 hours, you are entitled to change as you wish.

      It might not be stated in the Article but you can always drop by AirAsia sales counter to clarify.

  24. Hi Tommy,

    Thanks for the info. It is indeed useful and I find it a logical explanation.
    I did raise this to Airasia, they just said it is up to the Airasia management not much explanation.

    Anyway, I had browsed through your blog You truly a travel expert ! Keep up the good work 🙂

  25. Hello, Tommy!

    I can’t seem to buy a ticket online with my Korean debit card, so I was wondering if I could just go to Seoul’s Incheon airport and buy my tickets straight from the ticket sales counter. Would the prices be different than the online prices? Also, do you happen to know the hours of AirAsia’s ticket counter at Incheon Airport?

    Thank you for your help!

    • Hi,

      First of all call your debit card company that you will make transaction on AirAsia Website.

      2nd, make sure you have sufficient funds + 5% extra ( as you do not know what is the conversion rate of bank )

      3rd. Try again. Cos if you go airport they will charge u premium rate. You wont be able to get the discount price on website if you buy at airport

  26. Thanks for responding!

    I was able to buy a ticket with my debit card two weeks ago, but now it won’t let me. I have plenty of funds. The ticket price is $190 and I have over $600 in my account.

    I’ve tried several times over several days. Since I was able to use my card two weeks ago to buy a ticket online, I don’t understand what the problem is.. :/

    Thanks for your help!

  27. hi, Tommy.

    i would like to ask a few questions here. if airasia changed my time, i’m able to change the ticket right? i would like to know the minimum time differ or changed by airasia which only allow to change the ticket. Besides, i heard that we are allow to check in more than a baggage which under the 15 kg even we just buy ONE 15kg check in baggage only?

    thanks in advanced 🙂

    • Hi,

      If AirAsia changed your time, you are able to change your ticket depending on certain condition.

      If the time changes is below 3 hours, you can change to other flights on the same day, if more than 3 hours then you have the option to change to other days.

      Yeap, the check in luggage is the TOTAL AMOUNT OF WEIGHT & not number of luggage. As long as all luggage weight total is equivalent or lower to the weight you bought then you are able to check in.

  29. Thanks Tommy. But if flight time differ about 2hours 50minutes… less 10minutes to 3hours… can i change the flight to the other day? Bcs mine flight time changed from 12.20pm to 9.30am..

    Thanks in advanced. 🙂

  30. Hi Tommy,

    I Just bought one ticket with a wrong date as the other two with my credit card tonight, so if I wanna change it I still have to pay the fare difference and charges right? What is the charges based on? Each flight or the price of the ticket? Thank u

  31. Hi Tommy,

    Need some guidance. Few months ago, I bought two tickets to Taiwan, me and my friend. I did not know until my friend claimed that she had bought on her own. So there are 2 tickets with the same name here. She cancelled her name (under my booking) and went ahead with hers, as what had been told by the staff. After returned, she kept on calling to ask this matter but things did not go as planned. She had trouble in getting in touch with the staff (phone call) and the bill could reach up to RM60-RM90 per call. Until now, the problem is still unsolved. Is there any convenient way to claim back my fare? Please advise. Thanks.

    • Hi,

      Go to the nearest AirAsia Sales Counter or Airport to get this solve. You get to know who is dealing the matter & they are able to help you on the spot.

      Furthermore take down their names, so u can always follow up when needed.

  33. Hi,

    I jz changed my flight for free to other day more than a week ago due to their rescheduled of time. The ticket was bought with my friends where got 3 names in it. But i changed to different date compare with my friends, so my booking number should be different right? But now i login and check with my friend airasia account, I couldn’t find my booking itinerary and until now i still not yet getting my latest itinerary from airasia. So what can i do other than go to airasia counter?

    Thanks in advanced. 🙂

    • Hi,

      Yes, you should have a different booking number than your friends. When you change it, they should give you a new booking number.

      Alternatively, you can post your problem to AirAsia team on Twitter, they will be able to retrieve your new booking number for you

  34. i did the booking in airasia and accidentally booked extra luggage..
    anyway i did not intend to book the ticket in the first place, but i clicked on debit card for mode of payment.

    now i have a booking num and my booking status says it will hold my reservation till a specified time until payment is done. so if my payment is not made, will my booking expire?

    • If the booking states it is holding until specific time, means your card have not been charge & booking not confirm, the booking will be forfeited when time runs out

  35. Hi, Tommy,

    I have tried to change a traveling date for my auntie visiting me in Melbourne back to Kuala Lumpur. However, I have tried online using “manage my booking” it prompt error and regardless which date I tried it couldn’t work.

    I tried to call the australian call centre no. which is 1300 760 330, the sound quality was extremely poor, extensive and hardly understandable, anyhow, I had tried and waited patiently but it disconnected half way through, I called numerous time and wasting my money on the call still didn’t work.

    The ticket was bought online from Melbourne Australia, My auntie arrived here and we need to change the ticket back to Kuala Lumpur. There are no service counter or office anywhere in australia, and poor quality of the call centre definitely very disappointed and frustrating. I even joined and login to Airasia.com to change the ticket online still not working.

    Nevertheless, what should I do now and how can I help my auntie to change her ticket. your response would appreciated if you can let me know asap cause my auntie is a bit anxious.

    looking forward to your quick response. thankyou.

    • Hi,

      You can request assistant with AirAsia Twitter which deals problem much faster than phone or email. Worst to worst is to visit the AirAsia counter in the airport

      Hope it helps

  36. halo tommy,
    if my ticket wan to change to other person can replace mine ticket what should i do?need bring what to go for change the ticket..and how much for change the name?

  41. Hi Tommy,

    I am staying in Klang.

    Can I go LCCT Sales Station to change the passenger’s name and date of departure or maybe u can suggest a better solution?

    What is the office hour for the sales office?

  42. My trip to India was painful. I booked ticket together with the hotel. When I reached there, the hotel doesn’t recognized the voucher. I paid full for a week. Hotel cost about RM1500

    When I returned back to KL, Airasia answered me shit. They said I should deal with the agent. There’s no mentioned about agent before my itinerary. I did email them many times. They trying to pass the buck.

    is there any possible to get my money back?

    • First of all where did you book your hotel? Unless you book it from AirAsiaGo.. Hotel wise is unrelated with AirAsia.

      If you booked with AirAsiaGo, you can email them from the contacts on their website.

  43. Hi….
    I have booked a ticket for my family and i to bangkok from 3rd december to 10th december. But now i would like to change the date(postphone) to mid or end of december due to floods and disease like denggi due to flood. i have a kid travelling with me. To avoid further complication can i postphone the flight without any charges. please advice. Thank you

    • Hi,

      Three recovery options for flood-affected guests who are flying today till 30 November 2011:

      Guest(s) may change their travel dates up to 15 December 2011. Change fee and fare difference will be waived. New travel dates are subjected to seat availability. Black-out dates (period where changes cannot be made) are between 4 – 6 December 2011 and 9 – 12 December 2011.

      Guest(s) may change their destination and change fee will be waived. Fare difference (if any) still applies but no refund will be made if the new fare is lower.

      Please contact the call centre / walk in to a sales counter for flight change assistance.

      Guest(s) can keep the seat value as a credit shell (a system that retains the amount of money which can be used for later transactions). The credit shell will be valid for up to 3 months from the issued date. All normal terms and conditions apply.

      Please fill up the e-form for credit shell request at least 24 hours prior to their departure time. AirAsia staff will contact you.

  44. Hi Tommy,
    I would like to ask, I would like to cancel my flight to Bangkok (feb) due to some circumstances. Can I get the refund for the airport tax and the luggage fee?

  45. Hi Tommy,
    I booked a return flight from Perth to KL and back to Perth 3 weeks later. I hold a Malaysian passport. On the day of my flight from Perth to KL, I will have 6 months and 12 days left until my current passport expires. I plan to get a new Malaysian passport while in KL. However, on the return flight from KL to Perth, my current passport would have 5 months and 22 days left.
    Will Air Asia allow me to board the initial flight from Perth to KL (given that it is my intention to renew my old passport in KL)?

    • Hi,

      Once you obtain a new passport you will be traveling with your brand new passport hence the old passport will be discontinued & not usable.

      Therefore there is no issue

  46. Hi,

    I need to change my flight date from Melbourne to Kuala Lumpur and I need to know how much is the change fee besides paying for the difference, if any. I can’t seem to find the info anywhere on Air Asia’s webpage. Please help.

  47. hi Tommy,

    Recently i signed up for Airasia BigShot loyalty programme, when i wanted to earn my biggies from the booked Airasia flight i facing the problem with id and name match.

    The main problem is the mistake i filled in my Chinese first name and last name during Airasia flight booking. Is it possible Airasia allows to change the first name and last name?

    TQ

  48. Hi Tommy,

    I make a booking 2 days ago and noticed that there is a minor spelling error on one of traveller name. I called airasia helpline and walked in to service center, both of them claimed that they are not able to amend the name now after the system is upgraded. Helpline mentioned that this minor spelling error will not stop me to check in and help me to put a remark in the system on the correct name.

    Given the above, can i proceed to make web check-in?? If i check-in now, the boarding pass will carry the incorrect name. Will there be any issue when passing by the security check to the departure hall as the name on boarding pass is not match with the passport??

    If i would like to amend the name at airport before i perform the self check in, any idea which counter that can help me??

    Thanks.

  49. Hi Tommy,
    Could you please clear up the situation about refunds when changing international flight dates. I understood that i can change dates not later than 48 hours before the departure paying the fee and ticket tariff difference if any. But nothing is said about refunding. Do i get the rest of my ticket sum to my card? For example if my ticket costs 5000 BHT and i change date buying a ticket of the same price what sum i will get back?
    Thanks in advance.

    • Hi Alice,

      There is No Refund for changing International Flight Dates.. You will only be charged Penalty Fees + Fare Difference.

      Refund is only happens when you decided not to fly whereby you can claim refund for International Airport Tax Only

  50. Hi Tommy,
    One of your guest asked,

    ” What if I plan to cancel my flight? Can I claim for refund? How long will I need to wait?”

    and your response was,

    You can only claim AIRPORT TAX refund once the flight date has passed. You will need to send email with your booking detail to airporttaxrefund@airasia.com. It normally takes 3 – 4 months time before Air Asia refunds you the money.

    “……once the flight date has passed”.

    I plan to cancel my flight from Gatwick-KL return and my flight is on 26th of May 2012. My enquiry is, could I cancel now and not wait till after the flight date? I mean, informing Airasia thru e-form? I am living in Germany and hopelessly can never reach Airasia by phone even to their UK Call Service Nr.
    I also lernt thru your threads that one gets refunded back only the Airport Tax. Something is better than nothing. By the way, my ticket is a Promo ticket and under Airport Tax and Fees the amount is 101.00 GBP. Would this be the sum that will be refunded?
    Thank you in advance for your kindness in assisting.

    Molly Cheok

    • Hi Molly,

      You can always Twitter AirAsia for faster response. However you can only claim refund after the flight has happened.

      You can only claim Airport Tax minus Processing Fees.

  51. Hi. Thank you for this helpful site. I have a question. My itinerary has my whole name correct but the order of my whole surname is in different order from my passport. It is in reverse order. (For example: my first name is John and my surname is Smith. My travel itinerary name says: Ala Pat John, Smith. And my passport name says: John Pat Ala, Smith. I wanted to ask would I be able to board? My friends with experience says no, but a customer service centre operator (who sounded slightly unsure) said yes with airasia. Can you please provide me with a accurate answer? Thank you very much:).

  52. *sorry what I meant to say is the order of my First namd and middle name is in reverse written order. My passport has my first name first, two middle name, then surname. Whereas my itenarary has two middle name first, first name, then surname.

  53. hi tommy,

    thanks a lot

  59. Hi Tommy

    Need some of your advise, During May 2011, Me and my wife bought the tickets to fly to Australia from April 2012. But somehow recently my wife is confirmed pregnant and the due date is May 2012.

    My question are as below

    1) Both me and my wife can get refund for the tickets?

    2) If no then according to your article AA will place a credit account for what has been paid and must utilize within 3 months from the date of issue. How does that work?

    3)How much does it cost to change the international ticket name?

    Thanks

  60. Hi Tommy

    Thanks for the fast reply. The refund is for both me and my wife tickets? Full refund or partially?
    because I need to make decision whether to take refund or change the ticket name to my parent or so. How does the credit shell works? is it the 3 months effective form the date the credit shell issued? e.g: 1/12/2011 credit shell issued …mean by 1/3/2012 you have to finish use it.

    • Hi Allen,

      I will help you ask on the Refund issue. It will be full refund ( I’m not sure regarding 1 person or both applicable )

      However for name change, you must make sure your ticket is Economy Ticket & NOT Economy Promo ticket. Economy Promo ticket are not allowed for name change.

      You are right on the credit shell matter.

  61. Just found out that my tickets are Eco Promo 🙁 . just in case I can’t get full refund for my ticket, is it still possible to get partially refund?

    thanks in advance. looking forward for the refund good news.

    • This was the reply from AirAsia

      Hi Tommy, the decision is with the Customer Care team, hence please bring the doctor letter and proceed to any of our sales office, the team will be able to provide the possible resolution to you accordingly.

  65. hello,

    my uncle booked the tickets for my family from kuala lumpur to makassar, but he did not include luggage check-ins. can i do it at the airport counter? how much would they charge for the luggage?

    • H Dhamira,

      You can add luggage check in online 4 hours before flight ( Preferably to do it asap ). Adding check in luggage on that itself you will have to pay double the price of online booking

  66. Hi Tommy. I’ve been trying to get an airport tax refund by filling in the e-form on the airasia website. However, they’ve rejected me a couple of times, which i don’t see a reason for. I’ve also tried calling the hotline in Singapore but i couldn’t even get through to the line. Is there an alternative way?

    • Hi Rebecca,

      It takes about 3 to 4 months for your refund. Keep on follow up with AirAsia with twitter about your refund every 1 to 2 weeks.

      AirAsia has the tendency to delay & prolong refund process so a percentage people will forget or give up on the refund which in turns become profit for AirAsia

  67. Hei Tommy…juz wana ask can change my flight after i cek in…i want to change the date of the flight 🙁 i alredi go to manage my booking on da website but it dont work..possibly i cant change my flight bcase i alredi web cek in???

  71. Hi Tommy,

    Thank you for providing such valuable information. I have booked my return flight from Kul to Tawau but my intention was actually to book from Twu to Kul (what a stupid mistake I made!!!) I am wondering if I can change the flight at all? I tried to do it at the air asia website but it kept complaining because the departing flight is later than the return flight.
    Thanks and I looking forward to hearing back from you!

    Cadance

  72. Hi Tommy,

    How do I change a friend’s ticket under my name? Do I go over to the nearest airasia tkt office? The tkt was bought using another friend’s credit card, so must that person or at least the credit card be available when the name change is done? Must all parties be present? Can I change name and date both at the same time? Your reply is much appreciated. Thanks

    Rgds,

    PAUL

  74. Dear Sir/Madam

    Is it possible to make a change in a flight date even though a web check in has already been made for a flight the day earlier? What are the procedure in doing so?

    Thank you

  75. Hi Tommy,
    Does the Airasia non-refund system still holds for price difference? I booked my flight on 4th Jan, miss the promo, so I booked regular price but today the promo price is available again, can I change to the promo and still get a refund for the extra that I have paid? If yes, how?
    Your quick respond is very much appreciated. Millions of thanks

  76. Hi Tommy,

    Recently got news about my canceled flight to London, Gatwick in April 2012. Will Air Asia be able to get me on a different airline even if it is double the price I paid as I am making my final flight to Ireland and my whole trip is messed up at this point. What’s the best phone number to call as each time I try the customer service in Maylasia, skype does not get through or you sit on hold forever with the UK number?

    Hope you can help as I am a bit stressed about the situation.

    • Hi Clare,

      We are all sad & disappointed when AirAsiaX announce it will be stopping flights to Europe. As you have booked the flight, don’t be too sad for now.

      There may be good news for you! Cos although AAX has yet to confirm, most probably you will be put on MAS flight which is a full service carrier! This is part of their share swap plan.

      AirAsia Twitter answer questions much faster if you are in hurry.

      Hope it helps!

  77. Hi Tommy.
    I booked online promo ticket for Delhi to kuala lumpur for date 18 January but I am in hospital due to stone in kidney and ureter . I asked airasia about refund on 14 January but airasia costumer care representative said that airasia only refund airport tax. Now what can I do ?

    • Hi Dharminder,

      Get a official letter from your doctor stating you are not fit to fly on the dates you were supposed to fly. Contact AirAsia Twitter and send them the letter.

      You should be able to obtain a refund in credit shell instead of just airport tax.

  78. Thanks Tommy For quick reply ,I have a little question , when I called airasia they said , if I cancelled the flight I have to pay fee for it, is it right ? I have canceled it bcoz I have medical emergency so , plz show me the right way !!! Thanks in advance

    • Hi Dharminder,

      Normally on medical grounds, AirAsia will not charge on compassionate reasons. However the final decision is still up to them.

      You can always make a plea. Good luck

  79. hye tommy,
    i booked flight frm miri to kl 2moro 220pm and already web check in. Can i do a flight date or time change? As today we just know that a visa was required to enter KL.. And cannot done in 1 day.

  80. Hi Tommy

    Firstly, thank you for giving more detailed in for of air Asia than what air Asia has given from their site.

    I am now in Guangzhou china and wonder if you can help.

    We are flying back to KUL tomrw. We booked our flights on separate occasions from his account. His check in luggage is 20kg and mine is 30kg. My questions are (and if you can answer specific to GZH is better)

    1) can we combine check in 50kg?
    2) can we check in a few bags or boxes to this total? Any specific dimension?

    Thanks
    Jas

    • Hi Jasmine,

      Separate bookings are not allowed to combine baggage. However AirAsia do not have restriction on how many bags to check in as long as below the weight bought. (Every luggage must be below 32kg and must be within normal luggage size. Therefore surf board, piano are not counted.)

      So you can arrange properly before checking in.

  82. Hi Tommy,
    thanks for this useful site.
    am interested in increasing my luggage allowance on some flights. have already paid for 20kg.
    do they just charge you the extra difference to increase to 30 kg? eg if 20 kg is $25 and 30 kg is $35, the charge is $10?
    if not, how is it charged?
    thanks.

  83. Hi Tommy,
    I like to bring luggage about 50kg. But i only find that i can buy online up to 30kg only. Please advice me where i can prebook my luggage. Thank you.

    • Hi Maran,

      Please be aware that one single luggage maximum weight is only 32kg. Therefore u need to separate 50kg into 2 luggage.

      The maximum weight to purchase is only 30kg more than that you are subjected to overweight charges which is very expensive & unreasonable about RM20 per kg.. Consider to reduce your weight or add another flying partner to share the burden.

  84. hi tommy,Yesterday, I booked the Airasia Go package, when I make the first payment, system showed “system failure”.
    So, I assumed my first booking is failed and I key in all the details for second time booking, for second time payment, system showed transaction confirmed.
    Few minutes later, I received an email from Airasia Go for the hotel voucher, and 2 emails for ticket booking confirmation.
    So, I am confused and called to my bank to check for the payment, bank officer informed me that 2 transactions are being proceeded.
    I was shock, only one payment is successful, but why they charged me twice.
    I have made a double payment for same package…
    So ..what can I do now??

  85. Thank you for this AirAsia FAQ. Saves me the money on calling the Call Centre and probably being put on hold longer than necessary. I am bookmarking this.

  86. If I make a change to a flight date, do I pay for the airport tax and luggage fee again? Or do I just pay the change fee and difference (if any) between the two fares?

  87. Hi Tommy,

    Last year 2011, I booked a flight to Japan and rescheduled to this Feb 2012 due to tsunami. I had reschedule the bookings via AA’s website and it charged Baggage Fees, Airport Taxs and Insurances again.

    Is it normal to do so? Can I get a refund from this? I tried to request from AA’s for refund twice but failed.

    Is there anyway to do it? Isn’t it suppose to charge only the differences of the flight tickets and the change fees but not Baggage Fees, Airport Taxs and Insurance Fees again??

    Please help I am in total lost!

    • Hi,

      When you reschedule, you will be charge penalty + fare differences however you will have to pay again for insurance but not baggage & airport tax.

      Contact AirAsia Twitter to clarify

  88. What is the maximum extension allowed for a change of flight date? Three months? Six months? A year?

    And when we change a flight, must we specify a new date, or can we leave it open?

    Thanks.

    • Hi,

      If you plan to extend on your own reason, you can extend up to the dates AirAsia is selling..

      You must specify the date plus pay penalty fees & fare differences

  90. what happens to my pre book hot seat, when i change my flight dates subsequently? Is it forfeited and I have pay for a seat again?

  91. hi tommy,
    i bought 3 tickets to langkawi last year on sept 2011 and now i am expecting and my pregnancy will due around Sept 2012. for FAQ 9, when am i suppose to provide doctor’s letter so that i can extend my flight. Is it within the first 3 months after my delivery? Do i need to pay extra fees for the change of flight date? How about my other family member? are they also will travel date same as mine?
    Thank you.

    • Hi Reen,

      It must be before your flight & before your pregnancy. Still subject to AirAsia’s approval however your family members might not be able to change their flight for free

  92. Hi Tommy,
    i booked 3 round trip tickets to Guangzhou in Jan 2012, departure date is on 25 Mar -31 Mar 2012. But i just found out i am pregnant again in Feb, since i had a miscarriaged in Sept 2011 so its better for me to stay and rest without flying.
    May i know, can i still make a name change to my sister name?

    Thank You.

  93. Hi Tommy,
    Thanks for your reply, sure i will provide doctor’s letter to proved that im not available to fly at this moment, but one thing is i want to ask whether i can have a name change to third party or i need to buy a brand new ticket under my sister name and waiting for airasia’s refund. As the ticket fare will getting more expensive when the flying date is getting closer.

    Thank You

  94. Hi Tommy,

    Thanks for answering a question for me from before. I go a call from Air Asia 10 days telling me that they will put me on a new MAS flight since my London flight has been cancelled. They said via email that I would receive the new itinerary in a week, should I be worried that I haven’t gotten anything yet. I have sent an email yesterday and haven’t gotten any response. Have you heard from others that they are getting their new itineraries without much of a problem? I feel a bit helpless since they aren’t an easy company to contact and also my access to phone and internet will become very limited in a week since I will be starting my traveling. Thanks for your help in advance

    • Hi Clare,

      Wait for 10 days, if you still yet to receive ask Airasia Twitter. Make sure you obtain your itinerary at least 2 weeks before you fly.

      Currently they are finalizing the deal with MAS for the cancel flights hence it might take some time to sort it out.

  97. Hi Good Morning

    Am going to Christchurch on apr 11 2012, I would. Liked to book 3 seats Premium RM 2,562.00
    1 seats RM 1644.00
    Please explain how to book the seats at RM 1644.00

    Why more seats cost more where 1 seat is cheaper

    Waiting for reply

    June

    • Hi June,

      Cos AirAsia price is based on allocated seats.

      For example, first 10 seats for RM200 next 10 seats for RM250 & next 10 seats for RM300. Therefore like your case RM200 seats only 1 left hence by choosing 3 seats AirAsia system will automatically give you the next 10 seat price.

      So if you want to save, you can buy 1 seat first at lower price & 2 seats at higher price.

  98. Hi Tommy,

    I wonder if you might now the answer to this I booked flights from Perth to KL/ KL to Hong Kong/ Hong Kong to Bangkok, Bangkok back to KL and KL back to Perth about twelve months ago. At the time my Wife and Daughter were travelling on Thai Passports under her Maiden Name which is how the bookings were made. Now that my wife and daughter have their citizenship and Australian Passports they must travel on them. I will need to change my wifes names on the ticket to her married name and the Nationality and Passport numbers for both my wife and daughter. How might I do this?

    kind regards

    Martin

    • Hi Martin,

      You will need to send your concern to AirAsia Twitter with Old Passport and New Passport on standby as it might be rare case for AirAsia as most people in Asia do not change name after getting married hence the more supporting document would be better

  99. Hi Tommy, I wants your valuable suggestion about airasia. I was cancelled a booking in January on medical ground and airasia created a credential account which I will use in next three months but now I hear some bad news that is airasia will suspend it’s flights from Delhi to Bangkok and kuala lumpur ? Is that true ? If yes then where I could use my credential account bcoz I fly only above two destination . Suggest me.…. Dharminder

    • Hi Dharminder,

      You can still use the credit on other AirAsia flights, but if truly not flying anymore, you might try to sell it. If it is evoucher it is easier but if it is credit shell, you might to reduce more on original price

  100. Tommy

    Re:the cancellation of Air Asia X to Delhi,the Air Asia counter unable to assist me to transfer or re-route my booking instead the counter staff asked me to write to Air Asia.Am surprised of the attitude of the counter staff! Writing to Air Asia is one thing but there is no assurance of prompt reply from Air Asia – base on my past experience.

    Kindly advise

    John

  101. Air Asia changed my flights and seats I paid extra for! I’m very unhappy as I paid for those seats for the extra room as I’m very tall and travelling with my partner and toddler… What can I do??

    • Hi Harley,

      Not too sure why they need to do that however when u purchased the flight with seat, AirAsia will send you an email confirmation which states your seat number.

      So with that itinerary you can demand to that seat as you have purchased it.

  102. I bought Air Asia travel insurance for my Tokyo – KL one-way flight last month, but I did not go on the flight due to a family situation. How do I submit a claim for this? I have valid reasons for not travelling.

  104. Hi Tommy,

    Hope u can answer my queries. I had booked a flight to Bangkok for 4 pax of us, when i submitted passengers’ particulars, eveything is in order and spell correctly. But apparently when i log in to airasia web intended to print out my intinerary, i found that all the information went wrong. I tried to call the hotline for few days already but can’t reach through. Even email also never reply. Appreciate you could let me have some suggestion on what to do..

    Thank you.

    • Dear Cloe,

      What is wrong with the info? If the info has slight mistake, is not a prob.

      Small mistakes are like Ray Teh but u spell Ray The.. These mistakes AirAsia wont mind

  105. Hi Tommy,

    I have an issue here. Can you really confirm minor mistake on the booking of the name of the person is wrong they can really let you in? i have 10 pax here going to Australia. the name should be Kong Sin Chew. But i wrongly key in Khong Sin Chew. Will they really let you go if really is a minor mistake? I am really worried here as the ticket price is not cheap at all. i can’t afford to pay another ticket. And worst of all i found out that name change is prohibited for anywhere except Japan and Korea. Please advice.

  106. I was due to travel with Air Asia X from Kuala Lumpur to Paris on Tuesday 10th April put they cancled their flights and I requested a refund they accnowledged early e-mails and said refund would take 14 to 30 days it has now been nearly 2 mounths and they refuse to answer my e-mails can you give me any phone numbers I can use to contact them on

    Thanks

    Graham Farmer

  108. I want to purchase liquir and tobacco from airport duty free shop as a gift to my friend. Can I hand carry on board aircraft?

    • Dear Teh,

      Once you passed the immigration and into the duty free area you can hand carry to the plane.

      Make sure you are taking a direct flight if not u will need to check in luggage on the next flight.

      For example : Taipei to KL (no prob) / KL to Penang (you must check in)

  109. I need to know if , i could add the luggage weight .

    As i already bought the ticket with 15kg .

    Now i figured that i need 40 kg .

    Is it possible for me to Add it online or i need to do it at the airport. ?

    Really need you advice

    Thank You

  110. I booked 4 tickets to langkawi during sale period May 2011
    If I am not mistaken, each passenger is allowed free luggage check in up to 15kg.
    But now it is not allowed.

    Q: Do I proceed to check in my baggage and say it is free when I book last year.
    or pay for the check in baggage at the current rate?

    Thank you.

  111. Hi Tommy,
    do you know how strict the counter staff are re ticket names matching passport names?
    for example, my commonly used name is June Lee (not my real name but ok for this purpose)…used on drivers licence, library card, bank account etc but passport name is June Soo Mei Lee. made my booking as June Lee. what are chances of counter staff allowing this?
    should name be changed? any idea of cost? there are 4 sectors (each for both of us) in this trip so hope no cost involved.
    thanks for your help.

    • Dear June,

      AirAsia is not strict, if you are worry you can request for name change via Twitter AskAirasia. However if you are going places like Europe and uses other airline, please beware that it might cause u problems

      • Dear Tommy,
        my apologies for the late reply….I have been away. thank you for your response.
        am relieved to read that AirAsia is not strict re names.
        to confirm… all should be ok when I turn up with my booking number, ticket in name of June Lee and passport in name of June S.M.Lee?
        many thanks again.
        June

  112. Hi Tommy,

    I booked my ticket last December 2011 and prepaid my long equipment ( golf bag ) together with luggage to travel in May 2012. Due to urgent matter crop up i am unable to travel. Do i get back my refund for long equipment and luggage?
    Thank you,

    Regards,
    Lee CB

  113. Hi Tommy,

    Thank you for your speedy reply, at least now i know that i will not prepaid my luggage until last week before confirming travelling.

    Cheers,

  114. I got from Seoul on the 23April and forgot to take
    One of my bag. When I called one hr time I was
    told no leftover bag. When I turn up at the same carossel
    the AirAsia staffs refused to entertain my request
    search for d bag. Instead one of guy was playing guitar.

  115. i just made my online booking today , on departure date, 6 may 2012. when comes to the payment process, it sucessfully but airasia charge me twice. so then i directly called airasia to ask about my refund, then we manage to settle it; the careline centre said she will credit it back to my bank account and send the confirmation in my email, but until now i wait, stil have no news from airasia and i check my refund status, it was reject reason. im sorry, but this action make me unsatisfy with airasia service. so i made decision to cancel my flight on the 6th MAY 2012 and i need my fully refund about the double charge on me and my flight payment.. 🙁 im sooo sad since i desperately need money now cuz im run out of money. i hope you understand my situation and willing to help me. PLEASE. thank you.

    • Hi Sharon,

      It will take some time for AirAsia to refund your double charge. Unfortunately you can only cancel the Extra Charge and not Both.

      If you pay by credit card just make sure there is no double charge by month end

  116. how long does it takes? will Airasia update on me ? because everytime i called them, always put me in the busy line, then whenever i try to call them, it cost a lot which i only can talk for a short period..

  117. Dear Tommy,

    I have a problem with my claim on Airport Tax refund. Firstly I submit the claim before the cancellation date January 18th 2012. I was rejected, then I resubmit after the cancelled date, it was decline as I was told that I have already requested a refund. I even told them that I did not get the refund since January 18th 2012 and appeal, but each time the auto generated responses are as follows: What do you think?

    CASE NUMBER : CAS-2044917-YZPMG9

    Thank you for e-mailing AirAsia X. We have reviewed your request and regret to decline your refund as our records show that you had already requested a refund.
    Once again we thank you for choosing AirAsia X as your travel partner.

    Kind regards,
    AirAsia X Berhad
    CASE NUMBER : CAS-2044917-YZPMG9

  118. Dear Tommy,
    I would like to ask is it okay if there is left out my last name in the bookings?As I have booked the ticket via online but the name shows ”QUAH XX” instead of ”QUAH XX YYY”.

  119. Hi,

    I am at a loss on what I should do. My problem was that I had booked tickets to fly on 31 may 2012 from Kuching to KL and back on 4 June. My biggest mistake was that I had accidentally clicked on the web check in thinking that it was necessary. Stupid, I know!!!

    However, due to the demise of my dad, we need to fly back for at least a week to allow us to settle some matters like the tomb, etc. However I am unable to change my flight anymore.

    Do you think air asia can undo the check in and allow me to change dates of my flights? If this cant be done, what do I do? Should I ask for a refund and what would I get back? Or should I just purchase new tickets???

    Help me as I really don’t know what to do.

    Monica

    • Dear Monica,

      For your case, you can provide documents of your dad demise and ask for compassionate request. This is better to be done at AirAsia sales office.

      Normally u will need to rebuy ticket. But try head to the nearest sales office, tell them your dad demise and request to change date base on compassionate ground.

  120. Hi,

    Thanks for replying. My hubby did try to talk to the officer at the sales office but they said that they cannot refund us cash but will be refunded in some credit form into our air asia account. The problem is I dont travel that often and the person said that it is valid only for 3 months. No idea what that is or what it means??

    When I read air asia website, it mentioned that the refund can be credited back into our account if we purchase using debit or credit card. What is your opinion?

    Monica

    • Dear Monica,

      Try rearrange the flight instead of taking credit shell. It means if you must make another transaction within 3 months or it will be forfeited.

      It is up to AirAsia to decide, most people end up nothing. You can use the credit shell to buy new air ticket or sell it at cheaper price. Many people would be willing to buy if price is reasonable

      • Hi Tommy,

        You are indeed a blessing to many of us who are caught in all these air asia tangles and heart aches.

        I will go see them again but like I said my main problem is that I had stupidly checked in. How do I get that unchecked so that I may proceed with the new bookings?

        Thanks for all your help

        Monica

  121. Hi Tommy,
    I have performed web check-in fr KL to BKK. After web check-in, I realise my passport is going to expired.
    So, I will renew the passport before going to BKK. But the passport # is going to be different from the web check-in information. is it allowed?
    Thanks.

  122. Hi, Tommy

    This is just for information for people who may be caught in similar situations as me.

    When one has checked in for a flight and someone in the family passes away (not a passenger),and you want to change your flight, you will have to go to air asia to do the following:

    1. Show proofs of your relationship with the deceased (in my case – my dad). So, I have to show the death certificate, my birth cert to prove my relationship with the deceased, my marriage cert to prove that the other passenger is my husband, my children’s birth cert to prove they are my children. Very problematic, I know but no way out.

    2. No way to uncheck the tickets!!!! So, people please be careful not to check in too early and don’t get trap by the new system of checking in after purchasing your tickets like me as there were no other icons to click after that.

    3. Air asia will only refund the cost of the tickets after deducting penalty of RM100. In my case my tickett was RM154 per person, so I only got back RM54 per person.

    4. Airport tax are not refunded in this case. Unless it’s international flights, then claim. However, they will charged you RM15 for every person/sector. If the remainder is a lot, then go and demand for it. If it’s within Malaysia, then I think it isn’t worth another heartache. So, considered them burnt !!!

    5. Oh yes, they will not refund you in cash or credit back into your account as seen on the air asia website. They will refund you using CREDIT SHELLS. An account with air asia. I was told that it will be credited within 48 hours, in which the air asia officer will call and inform you that the CS has been credited.

    6. You will have to use the CS within 3 months after its credit is in your account. But the good news is you can use it to purchase the tickets you want (the change flight as mentioned earlier) or you can keep it to buy new tickets and it can be advanced tickets. Meaning, you dont need to fly in that three months. Buy and can travel next year.

    Thanks again so much, Tommy.

    God bless,
    Monica

  123. Hi there, we have a friend who just came back from Japan contracted high radiation in the body. We’ve just booked the ticket to Osaka and for this reason, will it be able to change the flight destination to Seoul instead? We’re willing to pay for the penalty charges. Appreciate your prompt reply. Thanks.

    • Dear Celine,

      As for now you are not allowed to change destination. Basically Tokyo is very safe as we just got back from Tokyo in April 12.

      As long as you stay 100km away from fukushima plant. There is no problem traveling as everything is normal back in Tokyo

  124. Hey Tommy,

    if i clicked the confirmation button, but i didn’t pay. will my flight reservation still be legit? i didn’t put in any of my credit card information and all. so it’s not considered paid right? will they force me to pay? but i can still see the reservation number and anything. how do i cancel it?

    please and thank you

  125. Dear Tommy,

    I would like to change my departure date. Can I do it at AirAsia travel and service center at Skypark (Subang Airport) instead of airport sales counter?

    Please help..

    Thank you.

  126. Hi Tommy,

    I had claimed the “Airasia On Time Guarantee compensation” last week. I was informed by the Multi Purpose Insurance that they will release the payment to me within 3 weeks time. I whould like to know how did they pay the compensation, I mean what will i receice? The Airasia’s e-gift voucher or cheque? Hope to hear from you. Thank you.

  127. Hi,

    Nice to meet you.
    Just have a question here, if I bought a 2ways ticket from Kuching to KL and if i “burn” the flight from Kuching to KL, then the flight from KL to Kuching is “burn” as well? Or it is still ok to take the KL to Kuching flight? Bcs I am buying new date for Kuching to KL.

    Thanks in advanced.

  128. Dear Tommy,

    I am scheduled to fly to Canton next month. I wonder I will be allowed to fly as part of my name is missing from the booking that I made. My middle name is missing in the booking eg. Kong Tin Kon (the ‘Tin’ is not registered in the booking). During booking I expected their auto complete feature would have included my middle name (which was updated in ‘My Profile’) but I was mistaken. The name that appears in my passport is Kong Tin Kon but registered as Kong Kon in the flight booking/ticket. I have written to Air Asia last year regarding this matter but till today they have not responded.

    Would this be a problem? Your advice is very much appreciated.

    Regards
    TK

  129. Hello,

    I have booked several flights on AirAsia in my maiden name, however I need to get my passport changed to my new name. Being that I can’t change my name on my ticket, is it possible for me to travel with my new passport and my marriage license (or other travel documents as necessary)?

    Thank you!
    MM

  132. hi,

    my aunt booked wif my mom an air ticket SIN(singapore)-ICN(seoul) via KUL(KUALA LUMPUR)
    in the end my mum hav change of heart not wanting to go… instead want to change it to my name
    is it possible?
    cos its a economy promo tix

    • Dear Naba,

      KL to Incheon you should be able to change name. The reason I put should is because AA allows name change for Korea & Japan however they did not state whether possible for economy promo which they should if not allowed.

      The rest Sg-KL unfortunately nope.

  133. Hi, I hv booked 4 airasia x ticket to beijing. One of the passenger name in IC is Fauzanah Hanim Binti Md Hashim @ Abd Rashid. When I booked I just enter Fauzanah Hanim (given name) and Md Hashim Abd Rashid (surname) without the “@” sign since no sign is allowed to enter. In her passport the name written as “Fauzanah Hanim Binti Md Hashim” and another item “also known as” Fauzanah Hanim Binti Abd Rashid which means she has 2 name indicated in her passport. My question is will there be any problem for check in with the name i booked? Or do i need to do a name correction? Sorry for the long question. Thank you.

  134. Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 1
    Complaints of counter staff not efficiency, helpful.
    Your web system check-in and AirPort Terminal Kiosk check-in problem.
    Eventually i was resulting to rejection for check in and missed my flight.
    I am a frequent flyer with Air Asia.
    All along flying with Air Asia, is fine with me, and i am accommodative with your re-schedule of flight.
    On the 4th Oct 2012, 20.44hrs, after i have upsized my check in baggage on line.
    I did tried to do web check- in but system failed, therefore i have decided to do it at Changi Airport Terminal 1 Kiosk check-in the next day, then check in my baggage.
    Today 5th Oct 2012, I reached the terminal at 9.50 am. Row 14, the check-in baggage counter (2 counters was operating at that time.) queue was very long, about 20 odds pax in queue and not moving at all. After a while, i have decided to do check in at the kiosk.
    Something that have happened, 3 out of 4 Kiosks was out of order. I was in the number 8 in queue, by my turn, i was unable to check-in as the screen showed check-in rejected, Kiosk cannot check-in at 1 hour before flight.
    Therefore i have to go back to the baggage counter queue again. Awhile later, i checked my watch was around 10.25am.
    i leave my baggage in the queue, and approach the baggage drop off counter for assistance.
    All staffs seems to be busy.
    3 minutes later, manage to get the staff attention, will check, later was told that counter was closed and will check with the Captain after the walking through and back, i got rejected for my check-in at 10.43 am.
    This really spoilt my day, i tried to get the next en-route flight, Singapore -Jakarta, Jakarta-Semarang through your booking counter.
    The Air Asia Malay lady service staff(rounded size, i can’t see her name tag) keep saying to me the counter closed at before 45 minutes of flight time, your ticket is no more valid, need to get new ticket in Malay language.
    I am Chinese, and i did asked her in English, wonder why she don’t replied me in English.
    I know that as long as i get the new ticket before the flight take off time, i am willing to top up the difference.
    And The Air Asia BOOKING SYSTEM DOWN !!!
    Don’t even apologize for the inconvenience causes. That’s really make me very angry after what i have gone through with the service provided by the Air Asia Counter Staff in Terminal 1.
    And i have sort out with other Airline for my trip.

  136. Hi,

    Some questions about Credit Shell.

    I paid for a flight costing RM800 (ticket, security fee, airport tax, aviation levy, fuel surcharge, baggage and processing fee). I am not checked-in.

    1. Once I get my Credit Shell, what will be included and what is not in this credit shell amount?
    2. What is the processing fee/admin fee/cancellation fee/any other fee to be charged or deducted from this Credit Shell amount?
    3. Will there be additional fees to charge when I make the next booking? How much?

    Kindly advise. Thank you.

    • Hi Mia Mia,

      That would depends on luck as seat placing is randomly selected by computer system. However wait for the seat no to show and you can pay for those who are seating far away

  140. Hi,

    I have a problem on manage booking.

    Any help? Much Appreciated

  141. Hi ,

    Is it okay if i filled in the wrong nationality ? I just realized I filled MALAWI but not MALAYSIA after i printed the boarding pass out. will it affects anything ?

  142. Do you know how much is one BIG point worth in actual money?

    Do you also have details of how BIG points can be redeemed? The website shows point redemption based on flight booking – does this mean all points are used for that one flight? Or are there options such as using some points to pay for a flight? I want to use my BIG points spread over a number of flight bookings, and don’t mind paying the balance in cash.

    Thanks.

    • Dear Chet,

      1000 Big points = RM10 ; Unfortunately you are require to pay the flight ticket all in points. Except tax n charges. Alternatively you can redeem vouchers so it is more manageable

  143. I have a question that might not have been answered…. I want to book a flight from Hong Kong to Phuket Jan.9-14. It won’t allow me because my passport expires in May. I’m a US citizen working here in Hong Kong with a work visa that expires in March… I’m going to the US embassy Thursday to renew my passport. I just want to buy my ticket now…can I get a hold of AirAisa and buy my ticket and show proof that I’m not staying in Thailand longer than 6 days? Or what shall I do?

My dad’s name is printed as sukhdaiv kaur instead of sukhdaiv singh in the boarding pass. The spelling of my first name is right. Is it okay to proceed with the error?

  145. Hi, would like to ask whether Air Asia will give us FOC resealable plastic bag to fill in liquid container? If yes where to take it? Or we hv to prepare ourselves? Where to buy in case we hv to prepare it? The flight is Domestic flight from KUL to Phuket.

  146. i tried to call air asia for change of flight from 31/12/12 to 30/12/12 but i cant get to call them?

    can anyone assist me on this?

    1. We must go to the counter to change? just go directly and see their personnel?

    2. Must all guests go or any one go also can? any documents we need to bring?

    3. How many hours before flight can change? say today is my flight to bali at 6.40pm can i go to lcct at around 4pm and ask them to change my 31/12/12 flight to 30/12/12?

    Appreciate ur help

    tq

    • Dear Py,

      1. You can change online at AirAsia website in Manage My Booking. It is much easier and you can see the difference you need to pay.

      2. The main person who booked if you intending to go sales counter.

      3. I think it is 24 or 48 hours before to change flight. Do it early, as air ticket tend to increase when it is near

  147. Hi …

    My question is :-

    1. Can I book Air Asia ticket from KL (KUL) to Seoul (ICN) with my IC instead of passport ? I will make my passport next week ( for the 1st time ) …

    2. When AirAsia promo will be end ? How much Air Ticket price will increase in 1 day ?

    • Dear Hana,

      You can leave your passport column blank. Not a problem

      Please refer to AA website on particular promo. Price increase is subject to AA, it is impossible for us to judge.

  148. What is Air Asia’s salesoffice address in Singapore, please?
    Is it still on North Bridge Road 111?
    Can I buy tickets there, please?
    I have problems buying them on air Asia site.
    Thank, you!

  149. Hi,

    I am gonna change the time of my flight (not the date of flight). however the only option for me in “manage my booking” is “change travel date”. I am wondering how I can do that.

  151. hi tommy.. i just want to ask u .. if i bring an iron while on going to oversea (south korea), is it ok if fly with air asia? or there have a problem during immigration checking?.. tq

  152. Hi Tommy, i just want to check on 2 things, i have recently bought the package of flight and hotel from AA, i received an email from AA showing my chosen hotel and stating that i have made a full payment. However, when i logged into my AA account, under my booking information, i was only shown that i have paid for the flight but there was no sign of confirmation of me paying for the hotel. Is this normal? I mean does it mean that AA has not confirmed my booking with the hotel? But the total amount has already been deducted off from my mastercard and im worried.

    Secondly, if i have another friends who want to join my current package, can i add another person in by jus emailing AA? Or can i simply buy the same flight and add another single bed to my hotel for free?

    Hope to hear from you soon!

  153. Hi….I booked and paid for my ticket already..but I havent received any confirmation email from airasia…this makes me dun know wat my e ticket number is…..wat can I do…

  155. Tommy,

    Do you know if there is any further fees to be deducted for refund of :

    1) Airport Tax for missed flights; and

    2) All amount paid for a passenger who passed away.

    Thanks,

    • Dear Stanley,

      Airport tax will only be refunded only on international flights subject to admin charges.

      Normally they will refund full or minus some admin charge for passenger who passed away provided death cert is shown.

  162. Hey, if i were to purchase a ticket in Air Asia sales counter, do they charge the regular ticket price (stated online) or another price that is way higher than the regular ticket price?

  163. Hello. I am facing a few minor problem now! And i am desperate for the answers to my questions! T.T

    1) I paid RM40 for 25kg baggage for my return flight ticket (RM40 x 2= RM80) and today, i accidentally clicked on the manage my booking –> modify –> add on –> baggage/meal/more –> and accidentally clicked on 15kg for RM25 baggage for both my flight (RM25 x 2 = RM50) and confirmed and i am not able to change back my baggage to 25kg! It got stuck on 15kg and how can i change back the baggage to 25kg or at least get back my refund on the RM30 (RM80 – RM50 = RM30)? ='(

    2) If i bought a ticket A + 25kg baggage and want to cancel the flight because i bought a wrong departing date and change it to ticket B, can i transfer the 25kg baggage to ticket B?
    p/s: I am planning to buy a new ticket instead of changing the flight date because it is cheaper that way.

    Sorry for my troublesome question and please help me! Thanks!

    • Hi CL,

      It will be better to go to the nearest AirAsia sales counter for help for question A.

      for B, you cant transfer your baggage allowance to another new flight. It will be burned off. Thanks

  164. Hi. I brought the flight ticket for wrong destination. It just happened in 12am. It is not more than 2 hours until now. Can I get refund from it? I suppose to buy the ticket for 6 adults to go Kota Kinabalu but I accidentally brought the ticket to Kuching. It is promo ticket.

  165. Hi Tommy
    Does any authority check the weighing scale at the AA check-in at LCCT? I purchased 15 kg online for my golf bag and ensured that the bag was about 14 kg on my home scale. But at LCCT the check in counter said it was 16 kg and asked me to reduce the weight or else pay for excess. The same bag when checked in at my return destination was 14 kg.
    Regards
    Giles

    • Hi Martin, Normally 1kg AirAsia will just let you off the hook unless some troublesome counter person.

      First make sure the scale is preset to 0kg if you have doubts of the weight b4 putting on again. If you really sure that there is problem, try fixed weight object like 1.5liter water to determine accuracy. Fyi, i have yet to encounter this problem before.

  166. Hi Tommy
    Recently traveled Sydney- Jakarta on AirAsia paid additional for fishing rods packed in high impact pvc tube with foam tightly packed inside to prevent any damage.Upon retrival at Jakarta I notice that items where sliding around inside. I opened the tube and found the tip of one rod broken off, the top of one bottle cracked and the contents repack in a disorderly fashion (I believe this is how the rod was damaged due the forcing of contents back in the tube.I immediately reported this to where a property irregularity report(damaged) was issued to me.I Have no travel insurance as I am now residing in Jakarta also I did not sign a wavier at check in.What chances do you think I have of getting compensation?
    Regards
    Richie

  167. Hi Tommy

  175. Hi Tommy, Me and my friends bought a ticket here in Airasia Philippines for flight to Singapore.
    But Airasia announced that they cancelled their flight for Singapore and we decided to refund it last August 6, 2013. They give us 14 working days processing for Air asia and 14 working days for bank processing. But unfortunately, until now (October 16, 2013) We havent received our refunds in our account. They already asked for my Bank Details where they will debit my refund. Is it still possible to give them my refunds? If they will really take long to give.., can i change it again to use my ticket again for Re-Route?

    • Hi my flight was originally on the 7th of April at 17.40 from Kolkata to KL the flight was rescheduled to 0040 that morning also the 7th
      Unfortunately I have another flight booked getting into kolkata at midday on the 7th obviously I’ll miss the KL flight if I don’t change something and is there any compensation available for this. What are my options?
      Also on the way to Kolkata from Kl my flight was
      Changed from 1400 to about 2000 and I wasn’t really imfomed although they apparently did try to call me a he day before I left I had valid Air asia insurance for that leg or the journey can I claim anything? I didn’t really find out about the change until I got to the airport . Lucky it was not charged to an earlier time!

  184. On the 3RD of April i booked a one way flight for August from DPS to DRW. The website timed out during the final credit card purchase. I did not recieve any notification on my email to confirm the flight, but the money was sent from my account. I have submitted 2 email requests but just recieved automated reply. There is no record of my flight on the date booked. Is there a number i can speak to someone about this. I cut and pasted from my account the details debited from my account to Airasia on the E-Form.

    Regards
    Craig

  185. I bought my ticket online without using my airasia account. Now, I face a problem cannot to add on baggage. Since it mentioned that add on baggage would only need to log in account and click to “Manage My Booking”. So, what should I do now?

  186. does air asia know we give the wrong code number of passport?
    example: we complete the wrong code of our passport while booking, does booking still process? how can we review or make sure that all our information are right after booking?

    how can we do if we complete confuse ?

  187. Dear Tommy,

    If I have onward flight (from international to domestic) for 2 hours only, do i manage to catch the onward flight? and I have bought insure for my tickets(international only), no luggage bringing and check in online.

  188. Dear Tommy, I accidentally added my Christian name William to my name yet my IC do not have it. Is there a problem for me to check in my flight?

  189. Hi Tommy. My name is Atiqah. I’ve booked flight tix from KL to Seoul. However, i realized that the title of my name is wrong. It should be Ms instead of Mr. Can i ammend it? How? Will i be charged for it? And will this issue of wrong title of name affects my visa application? Thank you for your help…

  190. My friend booked my ticket and he put my Christian name instead of my full name, Janice Tan instead of Tan Wei Yee, it’s a promotional hotel + flight fare from air asia go, can we amend it w/o charges?

    • Hi, try to visit Airasia sales counter. Normally minor name changes doesnt incur charges but yours to me isnt minor, so just try your luck & let us know the outcome. Thanks

  191. I accidentally completed check in without entering my passport number and passport expiry date – so they don’t appear on my boarding pass. How can I fix this?

    • Hi Dennis, not sure if they allow you to proceed online check in without such crucial info. Just visit airasia counter at airport to notify them. Cos even online check in you will need to go through document check. To be safer go to airasia sales counter to ask or tweet them on AskAirAsia

      • Hi Tommy – I might have figured it out. I am travelling domestic from Chiang Mai to Bangkok and from Bangkok to Surat Thani – for either of these I wasn’t even asked for my passport information.

        However, my first flight from HK to Chiang Mai I needed to enter my passport information.

        Is there a difference between domestic and international flights?

  192. Hi Tommy, I would like to ask that after I made my payment, I just realized that I key in the wrong sequence of given name and last name, so did I need to contact airasia? or I just ignore it and proceed with my flight? Will there be any problem?
    Thank you

The gender/title in the ticket was MR, as u said its a minor one and having no problem. Is it need to us to contact air asia for the title/gender mistakes or nevermind.

  195. i want to buy ticket from manila to seoul am i free to travel to korea? or do i need to bring visa or any papers when i get there

  196. Hi Tommy,

    Good Day!..

    My flight from KK to Manila on 19.9.2014 has been delayed from 11.30am till 8.40pm ( we have been waiting at the airport without notice and updates until after 6pm). The flight supposing to reach Manila around 11.00pm, however upon landed, we have been stucked at the plane for another 1 hour as there are no parking space at the airport and finally come out at the arrival hall after 12am.

    FYI, We have bought tune travel insurance. We would like to know what are we entitle to claim?

    Thanks,

    Ha

    • Hi Ha, Get a letter from AirAsia on the delay to claim insurance.

      The 2nd part isnt a delay, so you wont be able to claim it. 1st part if indeed notification at the airport, you will need to get the letter to claim.

  197. On 20 March 2014 I booked a flight with AirAsia (SUB-BKK) scheduled for 16 July. In May I was informed the route would be cancelled effective 1 July, so I promptly applied for a full refund (listed among the compensation options). That was approved in an e-mail I received 19 Jun. In September I contacted my bank (after seeing that no refund had been registered) and was asked to provide the ARN and date of transaction. I have contacted AirAsia several times with no success, they simply turn down any of my requests to provide any proof of refund. At this point, I am finally aware of having been cheated by a gang of thieves and liars.

  198. Hi Tommy,
    I am filling up the e-form for refunding of airport tax. I paid via Big Shot Visa
    Under the “booking payment”, should I choose “bank/direct debit” or “credit card”?
    What are “routing code” & “routing code number” ?

    Thanks

  199. Hi Tommy,

    I’m flying to Kuching coming weekend. Unfortunately I found my MyKad chip faulty..Will that affect my travel? I won’t be able to replace the IC before my travel date. Any suggestions?

    • Hi Hemha, this is first time reader ask, so we do not have exact answer but do bring your passport just in case if you decided to proceed. Feel free to update us so in future we know how to advise. Thank you

  200. HI,may i ask about the flight time for my flight from KL to kuching is actually rescheduled from 0905 to 0945. I did for the web check in and printed the boarding pass, However, the time on the boarding pass is still remain 0905. So will this cause any problem for me to proceed on board? Same to the time back from kuching to KL. Thanks for answering my question.

  201. Hi! I mistake in one letter writing my passport instead to be AAD.. is ADD… I’ve just realized and I have my flight on Thursday!!! Do you think I will have any problem? How can I change it? Should I pay for it?
    Thank you.

  202. Hi, my father bought a ticket from malaysia to india with a return flight. His friend told him to check his email to print out his eticket. But all we got for him is the return flight i.e. india to malaysia. We asked his friend, he told us that his flight from malaysia to india has been cancelled by the airline. We asked if he refund it, he told my father that its impossible to do so since its a promo flight! I dont believe in this. Can you enlighten us about this please…

    • Hi Norjana, if AirAsia cancel the flight, you can seek for changes or refund from AirAsia. It is definitely possible even Free Seats flight as it is AirAsia fault. Just get the booking reference to check eg EH81JK

      • If we happen to get the booking reference by luck, what would be our next move? Sorry for the dumb question! And thank you for the quick reply! It means a lot!

          • Hi thank you so much for your responds. But unfornately my father cannot fly to chennai, india so he will no longer benefit his bought ticket from airasia. Can we cancel his flight and have a refund? Since his flight from india to malaysia will be on nov 19. Please advice

          • Hi Norjana, if AirAsia cancel the flight first then you can ask for refund. If you decided not to go, then you can only request for airport tax refund.

  203. hi Tommy,

  206. Hello there, I’ve booked a return flight from kuala lumpur to Taipei for March 2015. Airasia had notified me through email that both ways flights were rescheduled to a different time but on the same day that I’ve purchased previously. Is it possible that I can reschedule the flights both date and time to my liking as I would like to bring it forward to 2 months earlier without any surcharge or fee for the flight difference?

  207. I just booked the ticket with air asia. i paid with my debit card, but they never send the confirmation and the booking code. when i go to manage my booking it said that still need payment, but i checked that they already have deducted my bank balance. any idea?

  208. Hi, Tommy, My friend bought a ticket from Siem Reap to Bangkok but Air Asia counter in Siem Reap told her the passport is going to expire soon (meaning about 6 months) but still allowed her to travel to Bangkok. When she arrived in Bangkok, the immigration detained her and let her slept on the chair at gate 21 which is very cold and she would had no food unless I asked the Air Asia staff to bring her some food. The next day she was sent back to Siem Reap. Question is “Will Air Asia refund her the air ticket” Whose fault is that? By the way, there seems to be discrepancy about the word 6 months and 180 days. It seems that the immigration is also confused about it. Please kindly give me some advice. Thanks
    Your help is highly appreciated

    • Hi Kong, gather all info possible and officially write in to AirAsia. Also you will need to check the country’s requirement how long validity required to enter. For example Hong Kong requires 2 months passport validity instead of 6 months if Im not mistaken

      • I wrote the situation to Air Asia Insurance and they bluntly replied (I think from Head Quarter) as NO

        see Details

        Dear Valued Guest

        Greetings from Tune Insure.

        With regards to your inquiry, policy wording stated as follows:

        Flight Cancellation: The Company shall reimburse the Insured Person up to the maximum limit as specified for Flight Cancellation in the Summary of Benefit for any unused and non-refundable portion of the Air Ticket if at the time of scheduled departure, the Insured Person is prevented from taking the Scheduled Flight during a Flight on the First Scheduled Departure Date due to the occurrence of any one of the following events:-

        (a) Events in connection with an Insured Person’s immediate Family Member suffering from:-
        (i) death; or
        (ii) hospitalization, which requires the presence of the Insured Person, which is not
        anticipated at the purchase date of the Air Ticket

        (b) Events in connection with :-
        (i) hospitalization of the Insured Person due to Serious Illnesses or serious accidental
        bodily injury not anticipated at the purchase date of the Air Ticket ;
        (ii) Serious damage to the Insured Person’s vehicle within forty eight (48) hours before
        the First Departure Date ;
        (iii) Serious damage to the Insured Person’s principal residence due to fire, flood or
        similar natural disaster such as tornado, earthquake, hurricane etc requiring his/her
        presence on the premises on the First Departure Date ;
        (iv) The Insured Person being kidnapped, detained, quarantined or subpoenaed to
        attend a civil proceeding.

        As in your case, your flight cancellation due to visa application does not fall within the ambit of policy coverage. It therefore follows there would be no claim to answer in the circumstances.

        Hope this clarify matters.

        • As the Air Asia Insurance say No, which did not surprise me very much because it is their job to say No first, I then wrote to the Air Asia via e-form for refund with similar letter above, and they haven’t reply yet.

          Do you have any comment or suggestion what else can I do.

          Thanks for your suggestions
          Kong

  209. Hi Tommy..

  210. Hi Tommy,

  211. Hi Tommy, if I choose wrongly for title (Mr & Ms), how can i change it? Wil be have any charges for that?

    Thanks in advance.

  212. Hi Tommy, I had wrongly bought flight ticket on 20th July 2015 to Semarang and 23rd August 2015 back to Kuala Lumpur.
    So, can I change it now or need to check in first?
    I need to change the date to 13rd July 2015 to Semarang and 12nd August 2015 back to Kuala Lumpur.

    Hope to hear you soon.

  218. Hi Tommy.

    A couple of months ago, my friend has used his AA account to purchase round trip flight tickets (KUL-TPE) on behalf of my brother and I.

    And now, I would want to add on extra checked-in baggage weight.
    Am I allowed to do so by myself? As I am not the main person who made the booking and payments.

    Look forward to hearing from you soon.

    Thank you.

    Best regards,
    Joey.

    • Hi, if you have booking no, you can add yourself during online check in 6 hours b4 for luggage & 2 days before for food. If not you will need to ask your friend to help you

  219. hi Tommy, we have purchase 3 tickets to Kathmandu on 1-5-15 .Return o 8-5-15. Would.like to cancel the trip due to earthquake. Can I get a full refund ?

    • Hi Tommy, with this earthquake going on at nepal…is not possible for us to go as tourist.
      Air Asiago try to understand our situation ? Is there any way we could get a refund. Please guide us. Look forward to a quick reply. Thank you.

  220. Hi Tommy,
    Hope you are well.

    Bought a ticket & hotel package from Air Asia couple of week ago, to Manila (for one night). Unfortunately, i just got an email from AA informing change of time (flights, both legs being moved earlier). The outbound flight from KL is being move ahead by almost 90 minutes. For your information, I will fly in from Australia and arrive into KUL just before 9am. The original outbound flight to MNL was scheduled at 11.45am (and now changed to 10.25). As you can see, this leaves me with very tight turaround time to catch the AA flight to MNL. Imagine this, I have to clear the Malaysia immigration, rush to KLIA2, check in (happy to do web check in though to save time), clear immigration again and board the plane (if lucky enough). I just don’t think I could make it.
    If I do web check in, do I still need to show up at the check in counter (which closes 60 minutes before departure)? Very likely, i will have no baggage to check in (phew).
    Worst case, can I cancel the trip and ask for a refund? I read somewhere that AA will probably give credit on the cost to be utilised within 3 months. I am not a Malaysian and unlikley I will utilise AA’s service anytime soon. What’s your advice on this? Do you think I have a strong ground to get a refund (AA changed the flight schedule and that’s unacceptable to me).
    Hope to hear from you soon.

    Thanks. Mitch

    • Hi Mitch, just go to AirAsia sales counter and inform them they changed the flight time and causes inconvenient with your connecting flight. You should be able to change both flight to suite your timing

  232. Hi Tommy, good day!

    Actually I ask this on behalf of a friend. She bought an airasia ticket at the AA counter in an airport. The problem now is, she forgot to buy additional baggage. I am aware that she can use ‘manage booking’ method by registering as AA big member, but when I saw her ticket, in the email column, it was somebody else email. She said she never give any email when she bought the ticket. Can you please advise how can she buy extra luggage? Thanks in advance for your help.

    • Hi Syafiq, use the booking no and do online check in. You can add luggage when online check in (Note: once online checked in you can add other stuff so do it 1 day b4 your flight or when everything is confirm)

  233. hi there
    I purchased a flight with air asia from Melbourne to bali, s they were the only ones still traveling to bali during the volcano eruption. when it was canceled I received an email stating I had three options, one of which was a full refund of the original amount. I haave sent eforms, called and are just getting the run around. I am from New Zealand, so I have no use for a credit,

    This whole ordeal has been so stressful and now im worried I wont receive a refund. How can they take your money when the flight didn’t even fly?

    feel free to contact me in re3ree@hotmail.com

    • Hi Ranmo, from past experience AirAsia refund process takes 3 months. Do keep your case file number. You can follow up by tweeting AskAirasia. They do refund, only very very slow

May I know the charges of RM245 (meaning rm49 per person) is for one way or return insurance protection? Coz I only saw the insurance cover on one way from kl to taipei but I did not see it on return from taipei to kl.

  252. Hi Tommy, i would like to ask , i have been make a purchase on the Air asia go package on 22/Nov, but I do not receive any booking confirmation from Air Asia Go.Unfortunately, there was Total RM977.35 charges under my debit card account.

    So, I was contacted to Air Asia Go (Malaysia: 03-77243023) for the confirmation for few times in past 2 weeks and also my debit card bank.

    I was informed by Air Asia go that this amount of money was under pending condition and my booking was unsuccessful and they did not claim any amount from me, the money will revert back to my account within 7 days.

    However, until today, it is about 21 days and i haven’t receive any refund for my rejected purchase for my air asia go package.

    I did send email to ask them (askairasiago@airasiago.com) regarding this issue. But, no one respond to my email.

    Could you please help who else should i ask help? Thanks!

    • Sorry man but you are totally screwed. Air Asia will do anything possible to not help you and you can forget getting any service or any refund. It doesn’t matter that you have all the proof in the world that they already have your funds. Next time use a Credit Card from a good company, so that you can file with your card company for lack of service and they can protect you. Since Air Asia already has your money the very best that you might somehow HOPE for is to actually board the plane since you have proof of payment. But I wouldn’t count on it since they never issued you a ticket #.

      It would be a MIRACLE if you would ever get your money back from them. Don’t ever use a Debit card to make online purchases.

  253. Hi, Tommy. I booked a return flight from KUL to HKG for 8 days but I would like to shorten it to 5 days. How do I do that and how much would they charge for the change of date?

    • Hi Ze Yin, 8 days seems fantastic for Hong Kong which you can add in Macau or Shenzhen. Anyhow they will charge you penalty fees + fare differences. Sometimes it is cheaper to buy a new ticket

  254. Hi Tommy – I have entered my full name when booking but the system seem auto updated my member name (per facebook), can i change this (for example – ‘Vinothkumar Vadivel’ has become ‘Vinoth Vadivel’.. thanks.

  255. Hi tommy…
    After booking, the name on travel itinerary showed the name of emergency contact person instead of the name passenger…can i change this?

    • Hi Ting, it shouldnt happen that, most probably your friend entered the wrong name. AA wont allow change for passenger side mistake. Or you can show me the pic, Ill reconfirm for you

  257. Hi, I’ve recently booked 3 flights at air asia website from KL to Surat Thani. But I’ve mixed up my own name from surname to given name. But all the spellings are all correct. My given name is Sonia Kaur. And my surname is my father’s name. Will the be any problem?

  258. hello tommy, i would like to ask if i repeated my surname twice, can i still board on the plane for air asia? for instance: my full name is Ooi Meng Kit.. but i registered at the given name column Ooi Meng Kit and the surname is Ooi.. my boarding pass printed Ooi Meng Kit Ooi.. Can i still board on the plane?

  259. Hi Tommy,

    I have booked my flight to sri lanka and they have reschedule the flight.

    AA give me an option to choose another flying time or to seek 100% refund.

    I choose 100% refund. I have filled up the E-Form but they keep repeat the form after submission and when I check My status it say not captured.

    I wonder would it be possible to have another way out. I felt so hard to contact AA personnel in regards to this. Trying for 3 days and still same result.

  260. Hi Tommy, I accidentally bought wrong flight time from KL to kch, Is it possible I change the flight time in 48-hour without cost me much?Im afraid the penalty will cost more that the actual fee. Thanks.

    • Hi Sulie, unfortunately for AirAsia it is not possible. You can compare changing the flight time to check the penalty fees and fare differences and compare with new ticket price to see which is cheaper

  261. Hi tommy, I have book airasia plane ticket , but I accidentaly missipelled name , it should be husni but I have misspelled as Hasni can i correct it? Please help what should i do

  262. Dear Tommy,

    I already make bookng and Many times try (1 hour ++ trying) to make payment and your booking payment system shows following error message: BookingNotPaidInFull : There is still a balance due on your booking. Please add another payment to complete.

    Totally cannot complete my payment. As a result, my booking number in manage my booking column is gone. When trying to rebook my flight, the price is increase. I totally upset and disappoint with airasia booking payment system. Currently, I still keep and have my flight booking number but is not appear in manage my booking account anymore. Any suggestion or recommendation you can provide to solve this issue? Can I still pay with my disappear booking number flight price because Is about RM1000++ different on their updated flight price for my same flight if rebook. This is a huge different amount.

    Hope to see your reply as soon as possible.

  263. HI, TOMMY.

    I BOUGHT A TICKET USING GUEST & NOW I WANTED TO CHANGE THE RETURN FLIGHT, MUST I NEED TO REGISTER THE BIG SHOOT ID TO CHANGE MY FLIGHT ?

    ANY OTHER OPTION ?

    • There is no “changing your return flight”. That money is now forfeit – just schedule a new return flight, and see if another carrier has a better option for you. If you DID actually try and “work with air asia” they’d want to book you not only on a new flight but also charge you extra BS charges. So, you might as well just book whatever return works for you and ignore the existing air asia return. That money is just gone.

  264. Hey ,Ms. I have a question to ask.If I had already bought a flight ticket from KL to Busan in a earlier time. And now, I want to buy the flight ticket from JB to KLIA2 that it will be my transfer flight before I take the flight from KLIA2 to JB. Then, I would like to ask how about the luggage transfer? Will it be directly transfer from JB flight to the Busan flight or I need to take it out when I arrive KLIA 2 ? Thanks for your help.

    • No. They won’t transfer your luggage unless all legs are on the Exact Same Booking Ticket. It won’t matter if both legs are are on Air Asia and both booked directly. They will not care – not one bit. Essentially, Air Asia will try very hard to NOT help with anything at all, and any excuse to just take your money.

      Oh yeah, and the earlier ticket that you already booked? That money is gone. No refunds.

  265. Hi Tommy, i have entered Mr instead of Ms in the gender status when i booked the ticket and also mobile checked in how can i change it now. Need your kind help.

  266. Hi,

    I want to book a ticket in air asia. But there is no column for passport detais in the page for booking. Can I book my ticket with my name and date of birth only.please advise.

  268. Hi, i have book a return ticket but unfortunately they have reschedule the time for one Of the trips. Can I request to change the date for both ways instead of onlY one? Eg: one week later

    • Hi Kong, if both flight are in the same booking, they should allow you to change both flight. Head to airasia counter to do it. However they do have rules how long you can change it so double check with the counter

  270. May i know that if i already booking Aa flight and checked in but im not able to travel now , my baggage weight and meals can give other passenger which is on the same booking number?

    im booking a flight now but im confuse about this matter, can’t finish my transaction. can somebody help me with this? this is my first time 🙁

  277. Hi Tommy, I am sure that I booked a flight for my preferred date but when the itinerary arrived, the date on the departure flight is not the same as my preferred date. Instead, it’s on the same date as my supposed return date. To sum it up, I am pretty sure it was a glitch in the AirAsia app (I intended to book an Oct 17 6AM flight from Manila to Cebu for the departure. For the return, it’s Oct 19 evening from Cebu to Manila.) I noticed this error only after a month from the time I booked since I didn’t bother to check before as I have som screenshots of the flights we chose from anyway. It’s been a week since I started contacting AirAsia and I haven’t gotten any feedback on this yet.

    Can I change my flight for free? Can you recommend someone I can speak with here in the Philippines so this gets resolved and so that I do not have to pay for anything else since this is already inconvenient on my end?

    Thank you very much, Tommy!

  279. Hi Tommy,

  282. Hi
    I have a question regarding my booking…
    Unfortunately i did not got my visa bcoz of medical reason and have to change my entire plan..
    I am travelling with family and they got their visa but since i am stuck we have to change the whole itinerary
    And bcoz it was a one way ticket and my return from that country is from different city i am being forced to pay twice the amount for the change …
    Is there any other option for me… as i am baffled with what i am being charged…
    Does air asia insurance help in this situation

      • Hi.. I asked the doctor … but he said because its not confirmed you have that illness he cant issue a medical letter … this happened just because my x-ray didn’t came clear and they just suspect so I cant claim my insurance as well… because when i said i dot have the illness they said its just standard procedure and i ll have to wait until the report says otherwise …

  283. Hi Tommy,

    I booked a promo fare with airasia however, i’ve only entered my english name & surname while booking (english name is a valid name in the IC/Passport). Like, for example, if it’s Mary Tan Lei Lin and I only put Mary Tan in the booking, will the security or immigration stop me from checking in?

    Thanks.

  285. hi Tommy I have booked a few flights with air asia but have noticed when printing out my intinery that I have left out middle name on couple of flights have filled out the e forms to change but have had no reply has been a few days now i fly in less than two weeks

  286. Hey Tommy,

    I want to ask you just to make sure 🙂 I want to cancel the flight with AirAsia and the flight is next week. I am hope to get full refund. So i still should choose the Airport TAX thing ? What would you recomend ? 🙂

    • Hi Dalius, you are unable to cancel your Airasia flight and receive full refund. You can only apply to get back your airport tax minus admin charges. Your flight fare will be forfeited

  287. hi, where does my name should appear on my travel itinerary? the emergency contact person appeared on the top of my travel itinerary. while on the add ons its my name. how do i change it?

  288. Hi, My flight (on the 25th of february) has been rescheduled of 2:45 hour but airasia sent me an email telling me that i could accept the flight delay or either get my money back on the Credit Shell and buy another flight in 90 days. I have read that there is a self helping system but I didn’t receive a sms and in the email there is no link.So I have used the live chat only to be told to fill the eform. I want to get the money I paid on the credit shell to buy another flight from another airport. How long does it takes? Should I just accept their other flight option and check in ? My flight is from Thailand to China and once I am in China I still have to move so I need to plan beforehand (I also have to move in Thailand so based on their reply I have to buy train ticket). For now I am waiting for their reply but after reading the bad review of the customer services a don t know what to expect, what should I do ?
    Thanks

  291. I am an Indian citizen wish to visit Malaysia & Singapore with my family in End October, 2017 for tourism purpose.
    I am applying for eNTRI (Single entry Visa for Indian Citizens) for Malaysia & Normal Visa for Singapore (Single or multiple as the case may be).
    While returning back to India from Singapore, I have connecting Air Asia flight at KLIA2 with approx. 2 Hrs. layover. Please note SIN – KUL & KUL-HYD both are Air Asia flights departing from same terminal KLIA2 but having “separate PNR No”.

    Is air Asia will allow us to board connecting flight to India via air side transit ??
    We are carrying only hang baggage (Cabin Baggage). Also we will be doing Web check in for KUL-HYD leg & we will have our printed boarding pass ready for the same, in advance.
    In above scenario, do we need to go through Malaysian immigration formalities again at KLIA2 while returning back from Singapore???
    If yes, then do we need “Transit visa” even if we do not wish come out transit hall/Airport terminal within that 2 Hrs period???

  292. Hi Tommy. We are booked to travel KUL – PER but have to now change venue due to an incident which involves my son who is travelling with us, in case of emergency. Should we not take the KUL – PER – KUL flights we are aware we can still claim our airport taxes after the flight dates. We however are thinking of flying somewhere nearer, say Phuket ether on same dates or close to date for KUL – PER – KUL. Will this affect our claims for the airport taxes? I have been trying to get help from a few sources but have yet to get any info. Thanks!

  294. HI Tommy,

    I had keyed in wrongly for my son’s IC number, what should i do?
    How can I change it to the correct IC number?
    Is there any charges to change it?

    Thanks.

  300. Hi Tommy!
    I’m a Malaysian holding a Malaysian passport and currently studying in India. I booked a flight on 4th February from India back to Malaysia, and my passport validity is on 4th March 2018, which is a month away from my flight date. Long time back I inquired at the Immigration office in Malaysia and was told that it won’t be a problem for my case, since I have to be sent back eventually to Malaysia if my passport expired one day. The problem now is I’m unable to web check in my flight now because of the same issue (passport validity less than 6 months). Rang the customer care center up, and was told that I won’t be able to board the flight, and advise me to call the office in the airport to confirm. The Airasia office in the airport is not picking up my calls.

    Do I need to worry? Advice needed please thanks!

  301. hi i already buy return trip for my booking, but i want to change the date return but how? i already try it by manage booking online but its gonna work because air asia charge both of return trip its means the date for depart and the date return. So what should i do

  303. hi Tommy, air asia delayed the flight more than 3 hours. Today actually i am making day trip to attend a meeting at KL. I will back on the same day. But due to there is engine issue so all of us been asked down from the plane . after few hours only they stated that our flight scheduled to 1030 (originally 7am). So i did not board as my meeting is ruined and not in time as well.

  304. can i ask if i submit my refund, how long will it take and any possibility for me to get the refund for round trip as it is affected by the delay incident. Will they refund me ?

  305. 9. I am pregnant / hospitalized / a passenger has passed away & cant make the flight. Can i ask for refund? How?

    Air Asia will place the value of the fare you paid in a credit account for your future travel which must be utilized within three (3) months from the date of issue.

    You will need to provide the necessary documents ( doctor’s letter, death certificate ) to Air Asia sales counter / airport counter to prove the reason is valid.

    Hi! My friend is pregnant and we just knew this news this month after we have booked our flight to krabi last September. so we will be going to the counter for assistance to change the date of travel from April 2019 to March 2019. since you have mentioned 3 months from the date issued, is changing the date to earlier month is okay or just 3 months after the original date of travel is permitted? thank you for replying!!!

  307. Hi Tommy…I booking flight in March but when I want to make a payment…my credit was blocked by bank due to some reason…my question is how long AirAsia will retain my booking without payment?

  309. Hi Tommy,

    This morning I found out my flight date/time had been changed by AirAsia and I went to one of their Sales/Offices straight away. I requested a flight change and had written my phone number and signed my signature on the “Customer Request Form”.
    Do they change my flight straight away?
    I’m worried it didn’t go through cause the flight date/time I requested was sold out 3 hours after requesting my new flight.

    Original Flight (28th)
    11:45PM (Departure) – 4:20AM (Arrival)

    AirAsia Changed Flight (29th)
    1:30PM (Departure) – 6:10PM (Arrival)

    Requested Flight (27th)
    3:55PM (Departure) – 8:35PM (Arrival)
