    Flew them to KL last year for the MotoGP . Surprisingly well organised carrier. Nice plane , left on time , landed on time and the food on board is cheap yet pretty nice.

    • thangcuoi on 27/04/2024 - 09:30

      Current Malaysian menu, AUS menu - food prices have doubled since Covid. Still much more affordable and tastier than Jetstar etc…

      Those who have not flown with AirAsia after Covid should be aware that they charge a ridiculous amount for luggage these days. 20kg used to cost $25-$30. Now it's $130 (pre-booked), $173 (after initial book).

      • furiousgeorge on 27/04/2024 - 09:38

        I travel light so didn’t notice.

      • prankster on 27/04/2024 - 12:27
        +5

        Bloody hell $130 pre booked!? Nuts I don’t think even Jetstar charges that high when buying luggage with them

      • UrMumsOnlyFan on 28/04/2024 - 22:32

        As note 2 states, the table sets out the maximum theoretical charges:-

        Prices may vary depending on your travel period, but will not at any one time be higher than those reflected in the table below

        Which is irrelevant (unless you somehow encounter it).

        Very limited quick tests show:-

        • SYD-KUL = 20kg ($37.39), 25kg ($79.20), 30kg ($99.00), 40kg ($166.10), 50kg ($253.00), 60kg ($342.10).
        • MEL-KUL = 20kg ($35.79), 25kg ($72.00), 30kg ($90.00), 40kg ($151.00), 50kg ($230.00), 60kg ($311.00).
        • KUL-MEL = 20kg ($39.90), 25kg ($70.21), 30kg ($89.11), 40kg ($138.05), 50kg ($179.57), 60kg ($242.35).

        Anything above 20kg is punished, but nonetheless all are still far below the maximum possible figures (e.g. $129.36 for 20kg, $295.96 for 40kg, $609.56 for 60kg).

        • thangcuoi on 30/04/2024 - 16:22

          Sorry, where did you get your figures from?

          I flew in 22 Dec 2022 - 5 Jan 2023, and they were charging the exorbitant check in baggage prices.

          Edit: I just did a test for MEL > KUL 16th May - 6th Jun. The cost of 20kg baggage is $79.52, so not the $130 max price.

          Still, why would the cost of baggage be calculated base on period of travel like Uber's surge pricing. What's next surge pricing for meals as well?

          • klrrider1 on 30/04/2024 - 20:51

            @thangcuoi: In Capital A's annual report, they claim additional revenue by pricing ancillary services using a dynamic pricing model ie. surge or seasonal prices.

          • UrMumsOnlyFan on 01/05/2024 - 08:51

            @thangcuoi: My very limited quick tests were based on a single random date for each of the example one-way routes. I hadn't considered the impact of peak demand on baggage pricing and see now that this can have a substantial effect.

            Running some more tests on SYD-KUL and comparing 20kg as a benchmark = 1 June ($38.08), 1 Sep ($38.08), 1 Dec ($19.39), 20 Dec ($83.49), 25 Dec ($87.12), 30 Dec ($83.49).

            Very off-putting indeed in December, although still lower than the maximum of $129.36 for 20kg.

            Still, why would the cost of baggage be calculated base on period of travel like Uber's surge pricing.

            An understandable question from a customer/traveller perspective. The reason may be as simple as because it's what passengers are willing to pay during peak periods, though it could also be something else less obvious.

            But ultimately, why is anything priced the way it is, dynamically or otherwise. (Favourite example - why do some supermarkets sell cucumbers per individal unit while selling zucchini by weight?)

            Businesses are inherently focused on profitability and if dynamic pricing for baggage generates net profitability (after any potential negative impact on sales) then there aren't many (or any) reasons for them not do it.

            What's next surge pricing for meals as well?

            Every unit sold increases the price of the finite remaining stock - now you're thinking like an airline exec 😂

    • GeneralKeen on 27/04/2024 - 10:22

      Surprisingly, they are the only low-cost direct flight into KL and maintaining the competitive price

    • mikeleemy on 27/04/2024 - 12:36

    So the claims by airlines that higher ticket prices are due to higher AvGas price doesn't really stack up (they're both ~6400km apart)

    • M00Cow on 27/04/2024 - 15:06

      ah that'd explain the extra ~$200. they probably fly Jetstar to Syd/Melb

  • klrrider1 on 27/04/2024 - 09:53

    MEL is a 24 hour airport, unlike SYD.

    Landing fees are lower at MEL compared to SYD.

    Usually fares from MEL are slightly lower than from SYD.

        4am Emirates flight out… no curfew makes for some bad flight timings sometimes

        • prankster on 30/04/2024 - 13:04

          at least there won't be any traffic to the airport at that time lol but then again, due to the location of melb airport you wouldn't really get traffic compared to sydney airport

        • klrrider1 on 30/04/2024 - 20:54

          This month, my JQ flight to SYD had to circle around Sydney wasting fuel, so the plane could arrive after the 6 am curfew.

    haven't flown AA for a long time and decided to give them a shot this year. TERRIBLE, never again unless I'm forced to.

    The flight got cancelled and they moved us to the next day. We pre-booked front-row seats and they let us keep our front-row seats but put us all in separate rows, incl. my young child. The only option was for us to pay a 2nd time to move us to the same row via the website as there's no way to contact them.

    Eventually got them to email back but they never responded to my request of having the 2nd payment refunded.

    • klrrider1 on 27/04/2024 - 11:03

      AirAsia do not have phone numbers to contact them.

      If you try to contact them by e-mail, a web bot answers your e-mail.

      The AirAsia system is designed to send you around in circles, until you give up.

      • yeahna on 27/04/2024 - 12:19

        I had a very similar and nerve-wracking experience. On the day of my flight I noticed that although I'd entered all my details correctly during purchase, something had gone wrong in the backend and my name was wrong in their check-in email (I think it was written as [Firstname] [FirstnameLastname]). Couldn't get in touch with anyone at all, so basically just had to go to the airport and hope everything would be okay. It was, in fact, ultimately okay (details were correct when the customer service agent checked) but a very unenjoyable experience nonetheless!

        Having said that, the staff I actually interacted with really friendly and until I remembered this part I recalled having a positive experience with the airline (and decent food, as others have mentioned).

      • rezgad on 27/04/2024 - 14:12

        that's what I thought initially but they have an option for you to call them which leads to a Voicemail system. I left a VM and was surprised an actual human responded via email. they sorted out moving us back to a flight on our original date with a later flight but nothing on the refund. They must have a very strict no refund policy.

      No one cares to write a positive review unless you are getting something in return. But when you are not happy, you tend to write a negative review more often. Agree what you get is what you pay for..

      • prankster on 27/04/2024 - 12:30

        I can see that logic, I try to do positive when I can but yeah I guess when it’s negative we tend to put this more so at least people will know

        • UrMumsOnlyFan on 28/04/2024 - 21:41

          The problem is if a site like productreview is overwhelmingly complaints (some legit, some ridiculous) and negativity, it's very hard or impossible to take seriously.

      • EtherealArchelon on 27/04/2024 - 18:14

        Yup. Have flown with then to and from KL 3 times, and return Japan, Taiwan and Korea.

        No issues at all. I am Asian sized.

    My favourite low cost carrier

    Definitely not my favourite LCC.
    Used to be, until AA hit financial crisis with COVID. Lost my money.

    Had loved flying so cheap for about 10 years with AA. Even to England in 2010 for $650 return!

    Feb 2020, booked cheap return flight to KL. Even prepaid for meals (Nasi Lemak was always cheap & great!). Before flights out of Oz were suddenly stopped!

    AA gave promises, so kept waiting. Others with earlier flights received refunds, not me.
    AA communication addressed us as "Dear valued creditor."!
    AirAsia in Financial Difficulty: 2021

    Eventually AA offered voucher - but only usable against 'base fare'. And only on Air Asia X flights.

    On a sale flight, base fare showed as an insignificant amount of $20 each way. With time limit on voucher use, would have to buy so many flights costing thousands, to redeem some of what I paid.

    • billyb67 on 27/04/2024 - 17:47

        Some did charge back on their CC. Others got refunds.
        I left it too long, expecting a refund or flights. Still the little I lost was small compared to the savings over 10 years with AA.

      MA as in Malaysian Airlines? No such thing as a refund or adjustment. They are different airlines. AA is the low cost brand but they are completely different airlines.

      It's not 'the same flights'.

    It costs more on AirAsia nowadays to check in a bag than it used to cost for the seat! 😂

    • klrrider1 on 27/04/2024 - 15:13

      True.

      Pre-pandemic, I once paid $A59 for a one way PER to DPS flight.

      JQ only charges $A45 for 20 kg checked in luggage on a one way SYD to DPS flight, if you buy checked in luggage during your initial booking.

  • trekbound on 27/04/2024 - 18:58

    I flew Thai AA from Bangkok to Sydney 2 weeks ago, paid $222 one way without baggage. The smallest seats I've ever seen. I used to fly to Asia with them before covid, at nearly half of the prices quoted above - on sale the return ticket SYD - KUL was usually around $250.

    For the "normal" tourists going with return ticket for up to a month would be better to book with the full service airlines during their sale campaigns - the price when baggage and meals are included would be roughly the same.

  • Deceiver on 27/04/2024 - 19:28

    ScareAsia are fine if everything is on-time and ops normal, but as soon as the proverbial hits the fan, they crumble. That's where their reputation comes from.

    • GeneralSkunk on 27/04/2024 - 20:14

      I’m surprised to read the anecdotes here but also not. My partner and i used to fly with AA a lot back around 10-12 years ago and it was always a great and consistent service. Nasi Lemak, a little bit of checked in baggage and we were good to go. Flights always left on time and they used to tell people that they’d leave with or without you.

      Anyway sounds like investors and profits have gotten the best of them and so they are in that zone of squeezing customers to the max. I used to hear bad things about the CEO dude from my Malaysian friends, you know, corruption, arrogance and all that.

      • UrMumsOnlyFan on 28/04/2024 - 21:20

        I flew AirAsia (not AirAsia X) around five times in the last two years and didn't notice anything different to pre-COVID. I have no problem continuing to use them.

        Anyway sounds like investors and profits have gotten the best of them and so they are in that zone of squeezing customers to the max.
