poor customer service
Tony Fernandez (CEO) should worry a bit less about expanding his brand and more on taking care of the people that keep his company in business. I have been trying to book a flight (online) on Air Asia for 3 days now without success or support from the (outsourced) customer service call center. I have tried 8 times to book the second flight in my travel...
Read full review of AirAsia and 41 commentsnegligence on elderly passenger
"meet and assist" my ###!
After all passengers have alighted the plane, my grandmother was made to wait 15 minutes for the skylift and wheelchair we pre-booked. After the first 15 minutes, passengers on the next flight started to board and guess what? The crew asked my grandmother to get out of the plane - on her own without the skylift!
Why do you think we made sure we pre-booked the skylift and wheelchair? Because my 83 year old grandmother walks with a walking stick, has had operations on her knees, cannot walk very far or stand for too long!
My grandmother, being the sweet old lady that she is didn't want to cause a fuss and so she struggled to walk down the steep stairs!
Then when she reached the ground, there was no wheelchair! Did air asia expect her to walk all the way back to the terminal, given the ridiculous distance the plane stops at that even young people find it far?
So what happened next? She stood below the plane area and waited for another 15 minutes for the wheelchair!
What sort of "responsible corporation" is air asia? We have pre-booked this service and it is clearly stated on our confirmation slip. We had also reconfirmed with the singapore check in counter that the service will be ready upon our arrival. Then ironically, on the plane, the stewardess asked again whether we would require the meet and assist service! Isn't this absurd?
Is this the kind of cheap service that should be expected with cheap airlines?
Anyway, my grandmother suffered after she reached home, completely drained. Whatever pleasure she had while she was in singapore was washed away at lcct when she returned. She had to lie down, take pain killers and took a few days to recover.
I would like to take legal action. Can anyone recommend a good lawyer?
cannot change my ticket
I booked 2 flights through air asia. From kl to vietnam and back. I paid for the tickets. Now I need to make changes and the website will not let me in saying I don't have any tickets booked. It was charged in my credit card back in march and I already paid.
I can't call because I am in the united states and I have heard that their customer center takes forever to answer a call. It would probably cost more than the ticket itself.
Any advice, please? Write to [protected]@yahoo.com
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
The only advice I can give is never to fly air asia again!
it's a pain to call airasia
Have you ever call up to AirAsia customer service hotline? What do you think about the customer service hotline? For me, it's totally a pain to call them up. Why is it so? I recently made a call to the customer service hotline to change my flight to a later date. First when I was connected, I get a recorded message that last 30 seconds which is not able to skip by pressing any number. After making the right way into speaking to a customer service representative, I was put on the line for more than 20 minutes for listening to their annoying music and machine recorded voice:
"Thank you for wating. All our customer service representatives are currently busy. Please continues to hold or feels free to call back us later."
Oh! That's great. I was paying expensive call charges to listen to that annoying music and machine recorded answer and in the end I get nothing. I didn't even had a chance to speak to any of their customer representative(s). Representative(s)? I don't think there are many of them. Else I won't end up waiting for more than 20 minutes for a chance to speak to them.
I've tried another 3 times of calling the customer service hotline after the first call. I wasn't able to speak to anyone again this time. That's more than 30 minutes of waiting in total. Now, I'm trying to call them everyday see if anyone answer my call. Suprisingly, no one is actually answering. This time I'm wondering whether they have any customer representative in the call center. I even tried to call them just now in the early morning 8am so that I can be served faster. But, still, the same waiting. I think it's around 1 hour of waiting in total and I didn't even has a chance to speak to a real human. It's dissapointing me.
In my opinion, customer service hotline should always be provided for free. Even it is charged, customer enquiry should be processed in a faster manner. I don't think we deserve the wait for more than 20 minutes and paying the freaking expensive call charges. Providing a free of calling charges customer service hotline should be the right way to do. Company paying for the call charges will always ensure customer enquiries being processed fast. I was thinking whether AirAsia is earning from the call charges to pay for their representatives. Else why do they want to keep us on the line for such a long time? Give me a good reason.
Is this a joke, Tony?

Thank you for writing to AirAsia and please accept our apologies for late investigate and late reply,
Pertaining to your feedback, please allow us to explain to you that we always do our best to adhere to the published schedule and we are fully aware that retiming disrupts our guests' travel plans but flights are retimed for various reasons where we reasonably consider this to be justified by circumstances beyond our control or for reasons of safety or commercial reasons.
Upon the occurrence of any of Cancellation, Changes of flight Schedules, we will assist guests which are not inconveniences for new flight schedule and we shall have no further liability.
For booking number ZSHR5E, we checked and found that flight FD 3228 was delayed and staff assisted you to move flight free of charge to FD 3211.
Once again apologize for any inconvenience caused. We do hope to have your kind understanding and we are looking forward to serve you in the next opportunity given.
Should you need further assistance, kindly contact us via our AirAsia Customer Support page.
Thank you for your kind choosing AirAsia.
My response back to them
Dear Salita Jongjit,
Thank you for responding back in a timely matter. I must say that I do not understand how Air Asia can justify their decision on this matter and claim that there is no further liability to consider. I have to disagree with this decision and to ask that this issue is looked into again.
If I am correct it looks like Air Asia is claiming any circumstances beyond their control is justified. Any cancellations or change of a flight schedule there is no further liability on behalf of Air Asia. We made no cancellations nor did we change our flight what happened was our flight FD 3228 from Krabi to Bangkok was delayed for 1 1/2 hrs. and that caused us to miss our departing flight from Bangkok to San Francisco. For whatever reason Air Asia changed our flight FD 3228 to FD 3211 why the change of flight, by this time we had already missed our departing flight from Bangkok to San Francisco. I felt there was no purpose for this change we still missed our flight, after all, we were an hour behind schedule when this change was made. I believe this change was to benefit Air Asia after all a cancellation or a change of flight schedule releases them
( Air Asia) from any liabilities. Air Asia knows we did not cancel our flight and we did not request any flight schedule changes. We missed our flight due to a 1 1/2 hr delay on our flight FD 3228 Air Asia Airlines would be liable for any and all our addition charges and that is why they made this flight change. If this flight was available why did they not load up the passengers on from flight FD 3228 the flight that was delayed? If this was done we would have never missed our flight and would not have to book another one and pay an additional $900? each. So I ask again for Air Asia to look into this again for there is only one way to resolve this matter and that is, to be honest, and fair and do what is it that needs to be done and issue the full refund. Take responsibility for the inconveniences and the nightmare Air Asia has brought us on our what is suppose to be a happy time our vacation
I need help can someone please tell me other than customer support and the airline itself is there another place were I can get help.
AirAsia customer service is terrible. Due to medical issues I had to cancel my travel plans. I have since requested for a confirmation of flight costs, and certificate to prove missed flight (since our ticket would not allow us to cancel in advance) so that I can claim back the cost from insurance. I still have not received anything for 2 months and after 4 written requests.
I also tried to use the online live chat, had to wait 45mins in a queue to be met with completely unhelpful and downright rude staff. No customer service at all, seriously unimpressed.
MORE IMPORTANT = WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GROUND STAFF THAT WERE STEALING FROM THE AIRASIA PASSENGERS LUGGAGE AT BALI? NO MENTION THAT THESE COULD BE TERRORISTS ...PLANTING BOMBS ON FLIGHTS AIR SIDE...ANSWERS PLEASE TONY OR IS THIS ANOTHER HIDDEN GEM
NOW EVERYBODY CAN FLY - - - - - - - - LATE
I am trying to get a refund for the extras I booked and paid for but did not receive (in flight entertainment and advance seat booking - AU$ 74.00) I have sent a number of emails and to be fare I received 1 answer giving me a complaint number and advice to send photocopies unfortunatly the only email form they seem to have does not take my attachments does anyone know of a better way to contact them ?
Too bad. . . I believed that airasia was a serious company. . . Never think about this when you always goes well. . Until it goes wrong and you always good looks can be deceiving. . Today i had the test. . I maybe stupid but i booked a domestic flight thai return to the country of my wife when i finished the operation, i realized it was wrong not the month october, but in september. . . Ummm. . After only 15 minutes to the only solution that they gave me change your flight and pay as if the prenotassi from again. . The promotion of 5313. 00 to 13335. 00 bath not bad right. . . I just have to treasure it and the current account goes down. Perhaps it would take a little bit of elasticity.
I wanted to make a compliant to air asia. I called the line and its engages all the time while a fee of Rm1.80per min (about USD0.6) is being charged. By the time it gets through, that is if it gets through, AirAsia would have make more money from your complaint. I tried the online "contact us'", when i hit the "submit" button, nothing happens. They simply refuse to listen!
AirAsia is getting worse. I guess the market tolerates their I don't give a damn attitude and continues booking through them. They do have competitive prices most of the time but I am rethinking whether the discount is worth the bare bones recognition of a small amount of recognition as valued customer. They are cattle movers and be prepared to treated like cattle in the service department. Their website has many bugs in it where it is impossible to successfully book. You now have to call Malaysia and pay 1.95 a minute to get 'premium' service. Basic questions should be part of basic service not premium. You see what was basic service is now premium and basic has now ceased to exits.
I call several of their office in various parts of the world. An attendant answers the phone and in perfect Queen's English she indicates that they don't have anyone to serve English-speaking customers. 'But you speak English' I said to her. You need to call our premium service office in Malaysia. I hung up to hear so blatant and unashamed attempt at ripping off and milking what probably has been identified as a lucrative market segment -- English speaking customers that can't speak the local language.
Finally after calling 3 other numbers I finally call their 'Premium Service' 45 minutes! to repeat and repeat and re-repeat to someone who has a beginner's level of English! 45 minutes x 1.95 RM You do the math.
But I am sure they have an all too willing market that will tolerate such 'the customer is always wrong' attitude.
Anyone who reads this will merely have to weigh if tolerating such attitude is worth the aggravation.
My complaint is summary:
1- User-unfriendly website
2- Lack of customer service
3- Condescending attitude by their employees.
4- Hidden Charges for Seating, Insurance, luggage etc are extremely
difficult and sometimes impossible to correct.
5- Oh yeah, now they charge you for using a credit card.
Decide for yourself.
Insulted Traveler
First Day:
(Time:5.00am Date:31July2010 Place:Thailand International Airport)
When i arrival to thailand, i & my girl friend luggage lost at airport,
Then go to bangkok to purchase clothes, shirts & commodity and etc. Waste lot of money.
Lucky airasia staff find my both luggage at night & return me. But it too late. I already buy all thing.
air asia go holiday package
I have recently booked the Go holiday package from the Air Asia websites from LCCT to Bangkok on 6 of May 2009. I have booked the flights + hotel through the websites and there was no prompt on the website to buy the check in baggage. (there is a selection to buy the baggage check in on the normal Air Asia Ticket booking but not the Go holiday package).
I have check the FAQ section of the Air Asia Go Holiday section
http://goholiday.airasia.com/cms/RunScript.asp?Page=208&a=a&sform=sform&p=ASPPg208.asp
The websites clearly stated that for all the passengers on the AK flights, they are entitled to up to 15kg of free baggage. However, when I check in to my flights, AK734, I was told to pay the baggage fees of RM20. I complaint to the supervisor(Mr. ...Subra Maniam) and show him the print out of the websites terms and conditions but he gave me the excuse of "the website is not updated" and he mentioned I should buy it online but in fact I can't. There was no time for me to argue any further with him as the flight time is approaching. I was forced to pay the baggage fees.
I am very disappointed with the confusing policy and the inefficiency of the air asia Go Holiday online booking system.Tony Fenandes, please do something !
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I'm also facing the same problem now, I purchased the holiday package since Sept'09, our trip will be in Nov'09. I tried to call them to book a seat and baggage, but for 2 months that I've been trying to call Go holiday no : 03-[protected] and [protected] for that purpose, there is only answering machine and keep on holding the line.
I've even posted my complaint on their website twice, yes they did replied me by email and advised me that they have informed Go Holiday and some one will call me soon, however it's been 10days, no one call me till now!
Very frustrated, as I'm bringing my children for the trip, I need to book seats so that we all can sit together. And not only that, it'll cost lesser to pre-buy baggage than to buy it during check in.
poor ground service by air asia
I had a bad travel experience with air asia yesterday 8 may 2009 from langkawi to kuala lumpur lcct then to singapore.
My bad experience started off with air asia rescheduling my flight langkawi to kuala lumpur (kl lcct) (ak 5327) from 1415 hrs to 1530 hrs. fine they have informed this 4 days in advance but I have a connecting flight from kl lcct to singapore (ak 709) on 1740 hrs which I need to reschedule that flight my self. air asia do not provide connecting flight service. the only thing they could provide is you may request for flight change if there is retiming done by air asia. anyway I had made a big mistake in the first place by choosing air asia as my flight to langkawi from singapore. I should have check malaysia airline (mas) and I found out that mas provide a direct flight from singapore and langkawi with slightly extra cost. so I went and change my flight after checking in to langkawi-kl flight at air asia sales counter in langkawi airport. at first the sales girl asked me to pay change fees for rescheduling my flight to singapore but I keep fighting that this is not my personal option to change my flight, it is air asia fault.in the end one of the supervisor came out and advised the sales girl to change my flight without any fee eventhough there was a different advise given by another supervisor from their office. yes I did manage to change my flight to singapore but I have lost like 45 minutes to argue and wait for that changed itinerary and me and my wife had to skip our lunch because of time lost. we managed to have a quick refreshments at starbucks and rush off to boarding gates with my 6 months old baby + stroller + my wife's vision/pyrex fragile cooking wares + it was raining before we board into the flight.
Then, after boarding I realised that I have left my mobile phone at the security scan point and I have informed the lead stewardess. one of the stewardess ran to the scan point and nothing was found. the lead stewardess advised me to do report at lost & found counter once I arrived in lcct. air asia flight attendances are good and they are competent in what they are doing but the ground services are terrible. after I reached at the baggage claim area, I went to the lost and found counter and the only thing that I got from the air asia guy at the counter is malaysia airport board (mab) phone number in kl and he asked me to call them for langkawi mab contact number myself. he did not even ask for my contact number but I left my contact number on a piece of paper teared off from used enveloped. so I did call both mab and thank god langkawi mab called me back and said they have found my mobile phone. mab langkawi had requested me to get permission from air asia kl to request air asia langkawi bring my phone via next flight to kl but the office just said in malay "air asia do not carry any valuable item on board on behalf of the passenger and air asia do not want to bear any responsibility of carrying those items" full stop! no solution no alternative. at that point I realised air asia stop servicing you once you claimed your baggage. strict policy, can't bend some rules to cater customer's special request. then I deal with mab myself and luckily the mab officer in langkawi named "mohd azwan bin jamaludin"is kind enough to courier my phone to my home address. thanks encik azwan.
Then after checking in our baggages for kl-singapore flight (ak709) and had our lunch/dinner we went straight to boarding gate and again we had problem at the security scan point. the security told us that we need to get air asia tag for the umbrella that we are carrying on board. we didn't get that warning in langkawi and the check in counter girl in langkawi told us that the item is fine to carry on board and it is not a sharp object. we thought of just leaving that rm27 umbrella that we bought in langkawi but the security told us that it will be just 2 minutes to run and get the air asia guy sitting at departure gate to tag our umbrella. fine I went down and that guy was not there in his post.in the first place, that air asia guy should have detected our umbrella without tag before we go in and now he left his post without replacement. I went straight to the check in counter and ask for the tag. after that I realised I am already late for the flight and we went straight to the boarding gate. guess what?! the door is closed and we are 5 minutes before the flight departure time. they wont let us in anymore and I told them that my wife was inside the departure hall and she did not hear any last call announcement. for those who are travelling at lcct just be careful I guess because of the immigration checkpoint is one level up from boarding gate you might not hear any last call anouncement. I didn't fight for them to open the door so I asked for the next flight to singapore ak 717 on 2050 hrs but air asia ground staff had asked me to go back out collect my baggages at international arrival and go buy new ticket through a-z procedures again. what? we are carrying 6 months old baby and you do not have other option to make my life easier that night! in addition, one of the air asia ground staff just said to us "that umbrella caused you delay". so you are not giving any solution but you are giving some rude comment. what a nice customer service! I did not catch the name of that air asia staff and he disappeared before we board in for our flight but he is really rude and I saw the way he treated another passenger with rude malay language. we really want to get his name and write in this comment but he is lucky this time round. I keep asking for other alternatives and at last they allow me to purchase the ticket from the gate and they will arrange for the baggages. as it is a budget airline it will cost me another rm430 for new ticket. fine I did not have anymore energy to fight over another ticket and my family are tired, I just swiped my card for the new ticket.
After 30 minutes purchasing the tickets, they announced that flight ak 717 to singapore is delayed from 2050 to 2225 hrs. god please what I have done wrong this time. air asia could delay my flight 1 and half hours and make me stuck in lcct but they could not open the gate that was closed 5 minutes before the departure time. life is not fair! where is the principle "customer is always right". fine there are safety rules and policies that we have to follow but that does not mean we do not deserve a good service from budget airline. I am a malaysian and I am proud with air asia's success receiving "world best budget airline" title but if air asia do not fix their customer service, air asia will not go far in this worldwide carrier business and your title as the world's best budget airlines willl be over soon. please train your ground staff properly because they are also your company's front image that communicate directly to your passengers not just your fancy website!
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Me and my wife were treated the same way as you, we have purchased a extra weight for the luggage, during the check in time, the rude Airasia lady in LCCT refuse to check us in and tell that it is impossible to check us in although we have the payment resit with us, and both of us feel very angry with that and fight with her with the strong word, finally she give up and let our luggage in. but you know what, she on-hold our luggage at LCCT (and we are flying to Sarawak). how rude is that, that is what we call rogue behavior of the ground staff, the feel unhappy, they will use their authority to playful on you. Be careful to talk with them or else they will make your life hard. there is no "customer always right" in Airasia there is only "Please the ground staff as they are KING". No need to think of catch their name from their name tag cause they do not even bother to wear the name tag during their duty. all of us feel very disappointed with Airasia. as a frequent flyer with Airasia this time i am really sad what they have done.
Air Asia have a BIG problem communicating. They are unprofessional and rude and never take responsibility for their far below average services.
airasia: claim for compensatation due to flight delayed
Re: airasia-claim for compensatation due to flight delayed
My flight from kl (Lcct) to kota kinabalu no. Ak5102 on 01 may 2009 time 09.30am was delayed to about 12.32noon (More than 3 hours). I with 6 fami members with other many passenger were furious because it jeorpardise our plans and shedules and every look tired.
I am writing in to claim compensation for the delay. I understand that airasia will compensate myself and family members with necessary compensastion due to impact on mental and physical to myself and my family members. I am wondering is what going to happened if somebody have committed with the important schedule such to attend an important meeting (Rm2million) at 3:30pm on the same day ?.
I hope to hear from you soon for the compensation.
Regards,

rude flight attendant
it wasnt my first time flying wif AirAsia, but this was the worst service i've ever encountered! i was boarding AK 5123 from KK to KL, departing at 4:35pm (30 april 2009). so i was queueing up inside the terminal and i was trying to make a call on my mobile. my colleague was queueing infront of me, and she has got her boarding pass torn. when it was my turn, i was standing there for about 2 seconds waiting for the flight attendant to tear my ticket.. he didnt tear my ticket, and i was thinking how weird it is, he probably won't even bother to tear everyone's ticket, so i just walked off to catch up with my colleague.
and after i've taken abt 2-3 steps, to my horror, this male flight attendant GRABBED my arm and pulled me back.
in fact he was trying to ask me to switch off my mobile. fine, u won't have to GRAB my arm to tell me! can't he just tap on my shoulder and say "excuse me"? ok, i didnt know that u can't use ur mobile while u were walking towards the plane, i thought that mobiles are to be switched off while inside the plane. ok maybe it's a new rule or whatever, even if i'm wrong, he won't have to grab my arm, right? it's not like i'm activating a bomb or whatever! i was only 2-3 steps away from the doorway of the terminal, and people do use their mobiles inside the terminal, so it's not like i'm going to ruin the frequency or something. and usually we will be reminded to switch off our mobiles inside the plane, and it's not like i'm chatting on the phone while i'm inside the plane. again, even if i'm wrong, he could have just tell me politely!
i was shocked, and i told him "you're so rude, u should not just grab people like that!"... he just tore my ticket and said "i just touched you!" --- what the heck! i was so pissed off but i thought ok fine i'll just have to get in the plane and i didnt argue with him any further.
and then i saw him in the plane... after he served the meals, i tried to talk to him politely, i asked him "were u the one at the boarding counter just now?", he said yes, and i asked him "were u the one who grabbed me just now?" and he said "no, i just touched you!" and i kept repeating "u did!" and he kept answering "no, i just touched you!"
so i asked for his name, and he's Neston (or was it Nestor)...
and then he kept explainning that he was trying to stop me from using my mobile. i said, yes i know he's doing his job but he can tell me in a polite way, or anything other than grabbing my arm! and he said "you were walking too fast so you will feel that i'm grabbing you, but i was just touching you!" argggh. then i said "i was standing there for like 2 seconds, waiting for you to tear my ticket, why didnt you tear my ticket and tell me?"
guess what? this is so ridiculous, he answered "because you were talking on your mobile phone!"... i told him, i was NOT talking on my mobile phone, i was just dialing. he insisted that he did try to tell me but i couldnt hear him, ok maybe, coz it was really noisy, but he could have just tap on my shoulder while i was standing there for 2 seconds if he thinks that i can't hear him, or wave his hands infront of me instead of grabbing me. and i was not running, he could have just run infront of me to stop me by waving his hands, i was only about 2-3 steps away from the doorway. or he could have tear my ticket and then use my ticket to wave infront of me to get my attention and then tell me to switch off my mobile. ain't that much better than grabbing my arm?
and the most absurd thing that i've heard from Neston? he said "so you just want me to apologize is it?"
as if i'm making a big fuss and he didnt do anything wrong!? it's not that i want him to apologize, it's that he SHOULD apologize, get it? i really hated the way he argue with me and kept denying everything that i said, and kept making up excuses. he did not even say "sorry". when he was talking to me, his gestures werent even sincere, all the while his right arm was resting on the seat of a lady infront, disturbing that lady. and it was his colleague, another stewardess (i think her name is Adeline Ong) who was apologizing to me. she has been really patient and polite, while Neston was like really rude and unapologetic. She knelt down and kept explainning to me, i know it's not her fault, i felt sorry for her that she had to apologize for her ill-mannered colleague. she said that she will help me to lodge a report. and to my surprise, she told me that Neston was from MAS! omg, i think he might be kicked out of MAS and now he's taking out his frustration on random customers like me? even if i'm paying less, it doesnt mean that i should receive terrible service like this? even if i've paid RM1 for a flight, i am still a customer!
grabbing my arm can be considered harassment! and what kind of flight attendant is that? arguing with me and saying stuff like "so you just want me to apologize is it?" argh, he should be fired!

The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Warsaw convention does not limit a passenger from using a mobile phone within the terminal unless expressly prohibited by the government. Infact even use of mobile phones in the aircraft is not prohibited if it does not interfere with the planes navigation system.
Thus the attendant was interfering with the passenger's civil liberties of peaceful existence.
Unless there was a perceived risk of the passenger trying to cause damage to the plane through his mobile communication, there is no way the attendant could have stopped him...calling, tapping or grabbing, the passenger was wronged
i like to ask if i make complaint for the air asia staff direct tru the phone or by email address if can...this matter its really make me dissapointed and i will bring to court!
Wow u sound so ridiculous Natalie. You really are, can't stand people like you just by reading what you wrote. lucky I'm not a passenger in the same plane as you, or your friend. Hope you can even read this!
just 2 second, not 2 minutes u stand there.. Think that, if u were in queing just wait the attendies to tear ur ticket n be patient on waiting because not only u have to be tear off.. ur coullegue didnt leave u if u were standing there waiting ur ticket to be tear.. u can meet ur coullegue in the plane isnt it?.. hmmm this what u get when u were not patient enought people try to touch u but u said grabbing ur hand.. i dont think the attendant grab u.. my b he was right that u move fast..
His actions were uncalled for but maybe next time you shouldn't be on your damn phone while someone is trying to check your boarding pass. Speaking of rude...
Have you made an official complaint to Air Asia? I think that's considered as 'battery' you know. So rude.
Wow, right indeed.
wow, you are so right! he should be fired all the way!

A 3 hour delay and you're complaining? That barely classifies as inconvenient, and certainly does NOT classify as something you should be compensated for.

cancellation service
We booked return [middle of the day] flights from Bangkok to Hanoi. Airasia sent me 2 text messages saying they had cancelled both outbound and inbound flights, they put us on evening flights. I changed them to [very early] morning flights [which is very inconvenient], Airasia charged me over 5000 baht for this. I tried to phone their Bangkok number several times but couldn't get a response and sent 3 emails without reply. I am very dissatisfied with Airasia's charging and lack of customer service
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
THIS IS HOW THEY EARN MASSIVE BY STEALING CUSTOMERS MONEY...
stranded in kl for 2 days
Air asia flight delayed 1 hour 10 minutes from vietnam to kuala lumper, connecting flight from kuala lumper to perth australia left 10 minutes early, plane was still on the ground but 15 people were refused and missed the flight.
Air asia did reschedule tickets but some people had to stay in kl for 2 days and some for 4 days. Air asia was asked about hotels, taxis and extra meals. Thier reply was we dont help with those things and left the 15 people stranded. As I had 3 paying tickets and an infant the total cost of hotels taxis and meals was around 750 australian dollars.
As the delay was due to a late flight arrival (Air asia) I and all others should be compensated for this extra cost to us through their mis-management. After 4 emails and 3 phone conversations to air asia starting 10 days ago still no answer or reply has been forth-comming.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
contaminated food
I flew with air asia in november and december 2017 between perth and kuala lumpur. On december 21 2017 I flew with my mother from kuala lumpur to return to perth. We pre booked our food online and found that the food was awful.
To make things worst, we had stomach upset when we got home. My wife flew in on january 1st 2017 with the same airline and experienced the same problems. Something needs to be done to stop this. Small children can really fall ill someday. The airline doesnt have any provision for customers to send their feedback online.
I asked for refund of the airport tax by mean of the E-form of a flight I booked but did not take. They responded that the refund was denied because they could not find my booking in their system. But I have booked the flight on the AIRASIA-site and when I login on my account I can see my booking (JD3LGH). I believe they just do not want to refund. I am very disappointed in Air Asia and I doubt that I ever make a booking again.
No surprises there
Did you end up getting your refund? You should keep pursuing the matter and show them records of your travel itinerary! Please make sure you are getting your refund as they are obviously getting away with doing this to many people!
on time guarantee voucher
The worst airasia in the world maybe. Delay delay and delay. Call call centre you will be put on hold 20 - 45 mins can you believe that and from the place I call it's sarawak to their call centre 03 [protected] (Previous number before [protected]) it's a long distance call how much I have to spend. Ok come to what I would like to complaint today is on time guarantee voucher or they call e gift voucer. My flight ak5262 was delayed from kl - sibu on 6 jan 2009 for 3 hours. 2days later I went in airasia website under on time guarantee section filled in all my details booking no. , names, mobile no. Noone from airasia never call and it has been almost a month I haven't seen any email come from airasia yet... I called call centre on the new no. [protected] was on hold 25 mins. The lady said she can't do anything isn't her sention I have to email guest support. I said I did 2 times already. Then she passed me a complaint center ph no. Later on I did call but it was a wrong no. ... Bad service... Bad advice... And how come the on time guarantee doesn't have any ph no. To contact. All together I did email them 5 emails but nothing yet show in my gmail account.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
We refer to flight No:N6IRDL from BKI to KUL. We were very disappointed that the flight was delayed for more than 2Hours which we were not well informed. The taxi which we have earlier booked and paid for to send us back home had left the airport due to the flight delay. As such, we had to get another taxi and we had to pay for the fare plus the midnight charges of 50% loading.
We understand from one of your boarding receiption staff that we could able to claim for the ONTIME GUARANTEE VOUCHER due to the flight delay. Please kindly reply and confirm via skandcom@tm.net.my.

Dear : Manajemen AirAsia,
Booking Number : G5KBBN
Pada hari Minggu, 3 Mei 2009 saya dan keluarga melakukan penerbangan dari Jakarta menuju Batam dengan menggunakan Air Asia ( flt no: QZ 7556 ), kami biasa bolak balik baik dari Jakarta to Batam, Surabaya to Jakarta, Surabaya to Batam atau sebaliknya (maklum saya bekerja di Batam sedangkan keluarga ada di Surabaya dan Jakarta) dan biasanya kami menggunakan Maskapai Penerbangan Lain, karena tertarik referensi dari seorang kawan kami mencoba Air Asia yang nota bene katanya bagus, …
Dari situ saya punya pengalaman yang cukup menegangkan, bayangkan kami delay sampai 2 kali,
- jadwal keberangkatan kami seharusnya 14.55
- delay pertama 16.10 (menurut sms)
- delay kedua 17.20 (menurut sms)
yach…hampir 2.5 jam….. dan ini baru pertama kali saya mengalami hal demikian,
Kami sadar delay itu pasti punya alasan yang kuat lebih-lebih bila menyangkut passenger safety, dan kamipun waktu itu juga berusaha meyakinkan dan menghibur penumpang lain yang mengeluh.
Himbauan kami untuk kedepannya bila prediksi delay, butuh waktu lama pastikan saja (jadi gak sampai terjadi 1, 2 kali delay atau 3 kali mungkin).karena:
1. Untuk menjaga kenyaman penumpang
2. Untuk menjaga nama baik maskapai AirAsia sendiri agar tetap bisa bersaing dengan yang lain.
Kesan kami, kami sekeluarga salut meski kondisi seperti itu penumpang tetap bersabar apalagi ditambah Kru Pesawat bersikap tetap manis.
…..sekian….
Salam dari kami

One more complaint in AA account..We have cancelled flight before 3 months and still AA members saying its in process but yet refund is not done.
Customer care people is giving repetitive answers over the concerns raised by us. Moreover they are not directing me to authorized or senior person who can help me in a true manner.
I have had the same problem. I Booked flights with AirAsia but the flights never excessed there end. Have waited for over 5 months now without having my refund and still haven't received the total of $1996.40US. Will be very careful booking flights with AirAsia if I ever do again.
I have the same problem too...i have wait for 4month from mei2013 till now...they said wehave to wait 6month to complete the process...total rm1800...they told me that my case has been settled and credit to my account...but till now i cant see where my money go...i call the bank they said no refund from airasia...
I have the same problem, it's been 10 weeks and I didnt get my refund yet from airasia. the service sucks! they want to keep passenger's money for months to get the interest from the bank!
Having Googled AirAsia complaints l see there are many - so here is another one:
On 30th June 2010 I tried to make a return on-line booking BKK - CXM, each time the booking finished with an error. This occurred twice case no [protected] and [protected]. The on-line help was pathetic, l must have received 50 messages in the 40 minutes l was waiting and when l did get through they advised me to contact Air Asia centre, which l did and finished up on hold.
The failed booking was reported to Air Asia on 30th June and that a deduction had been made from my Visa card on 30th June of THB 2, 845.30 equivalent to HK$697.95. I provided the payment ref. to Air Asia and have sent a letter to the company. And todate no refund and no constructive reply from the company. Bottom line is never use the airline again. Does Tony M. ever read any of this stuff l wonder.
Hi guys, have you all finally received your refund? I am going through the same thing and it makes me sick that Air Asia thinks they can keep people's money this long! Have you conssidered charging back?
Air Asia very poor customer service, Always online system errors, very difficult to contact them over the phone, Waist money & Time. Most of the staff members are rude
Same problem 10weeks gone still I didn't get my refund
according to them they will NEVER REFUND $ Back to your credit card or account, they will give you back something called the credit shields and you will need to use it to purchase ticket from them.. do u want to check with them again ?
I am having the same problem, the Air Asia customer service officer over-charged me when I requested them to change the date of flight for four person. The right amount is RM936, but they charged me RM2, 200 to my credit card!
I am very disappointed, frustrated and angry of the way they handle their customers. I have been calling them on and off to check the status of the refund progress, they told me the finance people has put a statement that it was done on 6/05/09. When I called my credit card centre, I was told there is no money shown refund transaction from Air Asia in my account on 11/05/09.
I think Tony must do something about poor customer service in Air Asia, there are always a choice for us NOT to FLY with Air Asia.
I will always remember these two ladies who are Air Asia customer service officers, Thanam and Mary, who are so unprofessional... I do not know how long should I wait to settle this issue.
fake, lie
I now want to complaint the air asia, my situation is, now in air asia website is wrote "hangzhou (Shanghai) "so I wan go shanghai so I booked, but after I booking I check back in internet, hangzhaou and shanghai is very far city and is a different place, so the problem is I go to hang zhou then how I go to shanghai ?, is a very very ### problem here, so I want to cancel my flight I call to cutomer serivce "sharif" say can cancel then after 30 minute become canot cencel my flight ### customer service, if my booking can cancel then the money deduct the cancel charges, then become credit let me book other place for between 3 mth for air asia x is ok for me, but now is the website wrote there is (Shanghai) but actually is go hangzhou not actually shanghai, (Customer service say that is shanghai my god) from hang zhou to shanghai stil have to go about 2 hour by car, for a booking by 20yrs old girl is it safe for that, now the air asia website is having a big mistake for that, they stil say nothing wrong and cannot cancel anything.
Hello, we fly with Asia all the time
travelling to Kuala Lumpur and connecting flights to Phuket, Bangkok, etc., we have not changed our seat
allocations although we have found out that we have been split up all over the
plane without notification, we spoke to Ali from air Asia who did not wish to
provide any more Identification as to Verify himself,
Air Asia representative was rude and interruptive.
After non-stop verbal Communication Interference without letting us have our
chance to speak fully, we ask to speak to the manager, again refused and continued
to argue stating we change our seats and we are not getting them back or our
money back. We were told to put in a
complaint as he was not going to make any changes what so ever, I identified
myself fully as I work with the Australian police sector and told him that the
site was not secure as a inter non-permitted change was placed and I requested politely
for the IP Address that the change was made from so it could be followed up, I was
refused any information besides that the change was from the email login and
because it was done this way, we had to be the persons held responsible whether
accidental or deliberate. I explained that an accidental change was not an
option as there is no possible reason to be logging back in to check out
standard seats and downgrade was not an option due to leg room is a high
priority. Then the representative said it must have been children or something,
the representative refused to negotiate until I actually warned him that I would
take it to the CEO and I told him the CEO Name, once that was mentioned, he was
quick to get into action and the changes was applied without hesitation and
confirmed it via email very promptly and immediate, I (as a customer) who highly chooses Air Asia
and Recommends the Airline with past Experiences is in the process of thinking
of changing to a different carrier as we travel to Thailand Yearly to relatives,
Despite the unstable position of pilots with the situation of Malaysians
Airline MH370 is a daunting system that is in place to fly with certain carriers, we feel that we
need to trust Air Asia instead of feeling relaxed with the giant Airline is
very depressing with the incident carried out tonight with Air Asia Representative
Mr Ali Himself made us feel very unwelcomed and left us in a very untrustworthy
position with the airline for future transactions, I plead to you to investigate
to prevent other flyers having to deal with this unpleasant experience.
I thank you for your time

no service at all
My parents were suppose to travel from Manila to their hometown, Surabaya with Air Asia on Dec 6, 2008. This requires 2 flights, 1 from Clark(Manila) to KL, and 2 from KL to Surabaya. Both of them are in their 70's and my Mom has limited mobility and needed a wheelchair. So we tried to call Air Asia to ask for a wheelchair, but after being put on hold for 1 hour, the call center agent just told us that that's not part of their job, and we have to request for wheelchair with the airport.
So of course we requested in Clark (Manila) without problems. But it turns out their flight was delayed for more that 3 hours. The flight was suppose to be 11:45 arriving in KL at 15:40. Instead it departed at 15:00. Naturally, they try to follow up with Air Asia staff, since they are very concern about their connecting flight to Surabaya, which we already scheduled more than 3 hours apart at 19:00. But of course their answer is, there's nothing we can do, we are a point to point service. Which seems to be their mantra.
Still they arrive late in KL, and miss their connecting flight to Surabaya. As if that's not bad enough, the wheelchair they requested was not there in KL airport. The funny thing is, the flight attendant told my Mom during the flight that she should wait for her wheelchair when they arrive, so they do have a record of wheelchair request. That flight attendant has since conveniently left them alone in the airplane still waiting for more than 30 mins for a wheelchair. So after many phone reluctant phone calls, somebody finally got a wheelchair, but they insist they were not notify for it. And then the guy who pushed the wheelchair had the audacity to ask for more tip when they were leaving the airport. My dad did gave him some tip, but he said it's not enough. A far cry from Philippines staff in Clark who even refuse a tip and even help my Dad load and unload his bags in the Clark Airport.
Finally they got out of the aircraft, and pick up their bags, no one was there to help my elderly parents to carry their heavy bags around this airport to try to get their next flight to surabaya. Air Asia refuse to take any responsibility for the missing flight to Surabaya, they insist they are a point to point carrier and not responsible for any missed flights due to their delayed flights.
My parents has to go around counter to counter, and finally found a flight the next morning at 10am. They then take a taxi to find a hotel and pay for hotels and taxi with their own expense, without any help or even advise from Air Asia.
The next day, not wanting to miss their flight to Surabaya, they arrive early at 7AM. There was a long line at the check in counter, after waited in line for 2 hours, the person in the counter told my dad he was lining up at the wrong counter, he's supposed to go to the same counter he went to the night before, so carrying all his heavy bags, and my Mom in a wheelchair, he found that counter, where the person there directed him to go back to the first counter he went to. By the time he got there, the person in that counter told him he's too late, and the flight is full. So after being sent back and forth my parents was finally able to take the flight to Surabaya with this 10AM flight.
But my Dad, who has a heart condition was so tired from running around their airport with the bags that when he tried to sit down, he fell from his seat. What if he had a heart attack there, should Air Asia be responsible for this? What kind of policy do you have, that you don't take responsibility for your 3.5 hours delay? And what kind of staff you hired, that don't understand the meaning of customer service or even have a shred of compassion for this stranded elderly couple?
Never again would I ever fly Air Asia. Just because you're cheap doesn't mean you have a right to treat people this way.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
We have had the same experience with their website and they also requested us to pay over 120US$ to change the departure time although we called them within 5mins of having confirmed the flight.
Due to the mistake in the departure time my wife and child were forced to stay in Malaysia overnight which cost us another 50US$.
The next day they flew out to Bandung in Indonesia.
When they arrived in Bandung the trolley had been stolen.
After more than two weeks and having to call them ourselves many times they confirmed the trolley was lost.
They offered to compensate only half the value of our brand new trolley.
Despite having subscribed to an ADDITIONAL insurance provided by Air Asia at aditional cost to cover lost luggages.
Not to mention all the problems caused to my wife who had to carry around three luggages and our kid in her arms for days!
This Airline s the worst ever service support.
When we called them they requested us to call Malaysia giving us unreachable numbers.
Then they asked us to call Thailand despite my wife being actually in Indonesia!
This company is very poorly managed and they have absolutely NO RRESPECT for their customers.
I strongly recommend you NOT TO USE THIS AIRLINE!
Trying to save some $ we ended losing tremendously and suffering serious personal difficulties which NO ONE cared much about.
This AIrline is an OUTRAGE!
terrible service
Yesterday was one of my worse nightmare flight!
I was supposed to meet my fiancee at malaysia.
So I took airasia flight (2 flights transit)
The 1st flight is supposed to depart at 12.20pm and reach at 3.30pm
(From jakarta to kuala lumpur)
The 2nd flight is supposed to depart at 6.30pm and reach at 8.30pm
(From kuala lumpur to sibu)
(I'm supposed to meet my fiancee and her family here and we can then fly to sibu together)
So anyways, I have one luggage which I check in and 2 other luggage which I carry.
The 1st flight was delayed for 2.30 hrs! Making the flight leaving at 2.50pm and we reach kuala lumpur by 5.50pm and according to the travel documents I printed, the counter closed 45 minutes before the flight took off!
That's like what? 40 minutes before I can check in?
There's definitely not enough time!
By the time I got my luggage and ready to check in everything, it's already 6.30pm!
So I complained to the airasia manager and say that it's their fault that the 1st flight was delayed and that 'normally', they would at least put you on the next flight or something.
But you know what their reply was?
They say 'we have advice you that if you are transitting, you should arrive 3 or more hours before the next flight! If the flight is delayed less then 3 hours, we are not responsible and will not do anything as it is our policy that states so!'
You tell me! How can you not be angry!
(I wasn't the only one effected by the way, there was like a whole riot there)
But coincidentally, my fiancee (Who is already on-board) told me that her flight is also delayed! The flight hasn't took off yet! So I told them, look! Why not just shove me in as well? Like, the flight hasn't taken off yet! Then they said ok, they can do that but then I have 1 package to be checked in and they say that I would have to leave my package here if I want to take this flight!
Wtf!
So I argued again with them! (I mean heck, what's so difficult by just putting in an extra slot there when they plane is already delayed to begin with?) so after like 30 mins of heated argument, a government official (Who happened to take the same flight) helped me with everything and they said ok! (My fiancee's family knows him so they asked for his help, very nice guy)
But they still wouldn't let me check in the baggage.
So finally when the pilot says that he doesn't want to wait, they have no choice but to rush me into the plane. As for my baggage, well they just slot it into the cargo! The flight then leaves by 7.30pm and reach the destination around 9.30pm... And I didn't receive my checked-in baggage at all!
They bloody lost it!
So I reported to the airasia in sibu and they told me that they cant trace it because there is no record of me ever checking in anything!
Why? Because it was an unofficial check in and that there was no record of them ever putting the package in!
So I told them that I purchased insurance from airasia along with it and if I can claim it?
They say that I would have to call the insurance company myself as it is from 3rd party.
Heck it is under them! What 3rd party ###! You call! But again, heated argument which ends with no one winning! Sigh!
All of these could've been avoided if the manager in charge would've just allowed me to check in the package and let me in!
That way;
1st - it would save a lot of time
2nd - I would've still receive my package
Or, at least just put me on the next flight!
But they never did that! All they do is argue and they don't even want to take responsibility at all!
Lastly I would like to say that,
I think the reason why people don't complain is because it's cheap!
But seriously, I don't think it's right the way they treat people!
I haven't really read the terms and condition yet but i've gotta see this message about 'if your flight is delayed less then 3 hours, they will not be responsible' (It's like they deliberately make this rule just so that they don't have to be responsible for anything and people still buy them because compared to other airlines, it's cheap)
... Also even if that's the case, I deliberately choose the initial flight to arrive 3 hours earlier so that I will have enough time! Next time, they might as well say that they can't do anything because the plane is delayed by 2.59.59.59 hours!
This is the worse service that I have ever encountered.
In fact if possible, I wish that either airasia changed the way they manage or people should start suing them for cheating their money!

flight cancellation
I was on the scheduled with my sons (7) and (17) on flight d72702 from kl to gold coast. As the previous people have noted-it is a total lack of communication with passengers and total lack of any staff that could handle this situation that lead to may problems amongst passengers. We heard 3 delayed calls about 2 hours with almost no reason for delay except the last one telling passengers that there were some mechanical issues that were trying to be resolved and then later at 2.00am the mechanics could not fix and flight was cancelled.In all of this time the passengers were asked to move from one section of the gate section to another and back again with no communication between staff. The details of the many points of the lack of professionalism with the ability to relax the passengers in some form or to organize passengers in a manner that would cater for the young and elderly was almost non existant. The only shining light in this fiasco was the representative that was sent to our hotel (Sorry cant remember her name but was in her late twenties early thirties) who single handedly relaxed irate customers, listened and answered all questions, organised arrangements, travelled to the airport and again answered all questions from all passengers (200+) and was ther until we all boarded the plane. Without this brilliant person-kaos and anger would have taken customer confidence in your airline to a non returnable choice for passengers-their family and friends and from the outcry to the media in our country. Your company had no updates or crisis access for anyone wanting to find out any details of where we were, when or where we were arriving at. My wife, daughter, mother and sister seperately had no sleep and spent almost a whole day trying to get answers through air asia, kl airport, gold coast airport, malaysian airlines with either answers of we dont know or abrupt ignorance.
The main purpose for this message is for your company to address this problem with an immeiate contingency plan for similair situations and that your representative that helped everyone be rewarded in a manner that befits the gratitude of 200+ passengers

i've call airasia call centre using [protected] for call within malaysia today. the answering voice machine just keep telling me to wait until there are available customer service officer. i've waiting until more then 10 minutes and suddenly no more connection. it is because my phone prepaid credit have been deduct from $28.19 to only 26 cent left. they stole my $27.93 just using their phone line. to make it worst, i've not yet talk to their customer service and they already charged $27.93. wtf . so anybody who wish to call their call center... just forget it.. it is better to buy a lot of food for your stomach than be cheated like me

Air Asia come across as parasites. Leaving an elderly lady to struggle on her own. Still, perhaps this gives an indication of how they treat their elderly!
