Hi Amy

This is a compulsory fee and it is RM5 per person per sector. So if you are booking for 2 pax from KL - Pg, you have to pay additional RM10 and RM10 for the return tix.

Thanks for the heads up..

Wonder why is it called "convenience fee"? Hmmm, so "convenient" for Air Asia to impose the fee without any announcement...

That sounds very much like the add ons we get in the UK with other LCC's like Easy Jet and Ryan Air. Ryan airs ''free flights'' cost a lot of money by the time you've paid for Credit card fee, on line check in fee, seat selection etc etc. And all are charged per passenger, not per booking.

Keep it in perspective - Air Asia have recently abolished fuel taxes and are consistently offering lots of fares for not much more than $100A each way to KL. I, for one want them to keep flying and expanding, so I hope they make something out of my fare. Just be savy and check everything before you click confirm payment.

It is still so far below any other fare out of Aus -I'm not complaining.

In my excitement and rush, I forgot to uncheck Air Asia's GoInsure so by the time I got my itinerary 98MYR was added on top of it. Drats. But to put it in perspective, we only paid around $1,000 AUD return from KL to London for 2 people w/ extra luggage and seat allocation. Can I get these fares with any other airlines - I don't believe so. So lesson learnt, I'll be quadruple-checking everything before proceeding on but still I'm very happy with this airline!

Hi Caroline,

I'm on the same bandwagon as you - I am happy for a few fees here and there to be charged if it means Air Asia remains profitable and viable and keeps options available to travellers on a budget.

The last thing we want is for these airlines to go by the wayside - so that the old cartel of full service carriers can jack up there prices again.

Even those who travel full-service should thank the low cost carriers as they are bringing down the price of full service as well.

I want to start a petitiion to get Air Asia to do direct flights between Perth and Phuket!

Hi

Well said but all add on must be make transparent and make aware of.

Nobody want to be taken for a ride.

Of lately ,AA is is doing it subtly.

You only realise it when you hit the "GO"button with the print out.

Cheers

I believe this 'convenience fee' occurs when you use their call centre for bookings.

I had some problems changing my bookings which couldn't be done through the website and i ended up having to call AirAsia for assistance to make the booking.

After all the changes were made, there was, of course, a fee of MYR10 for the assistance!
