I hope How to book CHEAP-TILL-DIE Air Asia Ticket Part 1 would give some helps on your booking process.Some friends came to me and said I pointed out their thinking especially in number 2:Always confirm number of people going before sales start so no more mistake next time ok.They said check normal rate first then compare with sale rate is really helpful to avoid hiccup.Glad to hear that because I usually did this before sales start due to my kiasu and stingy.I want to write part II before I forget everything.
4. Sign up for account and add guest details into Family and Friends List before sale starts
Imagine you have waited for 15 minutes in waiting room and now you can start to book your 10 family/friends ticket but you only have 10 minutes to complete the booking, how you gonna fill in 10 people details within 10 minutes?With this Family and Friends list, you can store maximum of 10 people details and just simply select by ticking the names of guest without fill in the form one by one. Save your time and energy of $%^#% Air Asia!
5. Always have back up plan before sale starts
Sometimes you want to go too many places but you have tight budget which can choose a country to go so I suggest you to have back up plan if your Plan A don't work.Normally my travel plan is Plan A fails go to Plan B, Plan B fails go Plan C, if Plan C fails means I got no luck and wait for next time promotion.When people found out their ideal destination was fully booked or price increased they only started to think what else places I can go..too late for you, when you set up your mind to go another country, ticket fully booked again! Unless you are dying to go your only one ideal destination, I personally think having few choices with back up is a good idea.
6. Double check before you pay
Today friend called me and asked why her flight to Bali costs RM220 while others only need to pay RM165. Air Asia is smart enough to trap people especially for newbie who is gan jeong and excited for the first trip.Sometimes people want booking process to be fast due to 10 minutes limit and end up paying more.Air Asia will charge you from few things if you do not alert with it.
Counter check-in: RM10
They just started to use counter check-in which you need to pay last/this month. I never used counter check in because there is a long queue and when you are rushing in time you will get crazy with it. Now they even want people to pay for check in so please fully utilize your Internet, use web check in.Click here for Web Check-in Tutorial.Another type is mobile check in.I tried before and when I want to collect my boarding pass the machine took long time which around 30 seconds to print out and I was gan jeong because I thought the machine was rosak. I think web check in is most convenient way to check in.
Pick a seat
I never picked a seat because I think it is useless for me.Normally people like to pick front seat because they can walk out the plane earlier.Please beware that choose a seat is not free! Everytime Air Asia gave me middle seat or behind..Behind is near to toilet and you can peep on stewardess.Sitting in middle can take photo of aircraft wing so don't waste your money to pick a seat.
Insurance
Although I am kiasi, I am more stingy as I think I won't so back luck to kena air crash gua..For domestic flight I think you can just skip it. For old people or other diseases people, I think is better to buy insurance.买个安心也好。
Luggage
I realized last few times when I booked ticket, I didn't alert with luggage check in and the total amount which cost higher.I double check and found out if I didn't state anything in luggage, then it auto change to luggage up to 15kg which is around RM35 for one way if not mistaken. So choose no checked bag means you don't have any luggage. Honestly, if you choose luggage I suggest you to buy a cheap luggage because my friend and my luggage rosak when we traveled from KL to Penang. I was pek cek but didn't go to complain due to jet lag from Taiwan back to Malaysia and flight was delayed few hours.I didn't know whether they have improvement on luggage issue, so anyone of you have experience about it, share with me.
Good luck to everyone and enjoy your trip!
