[easyeasy]

shouldn't you ask the agent where you got your ticket?

[reacher]

terminal 1 of changi airport. Me also got this problem when I book online. Called them and realised must bring confirmation number along(WTF!!!). I feel their site very f-up, a lot of things never write and wrote some very irrelvant things. feel very dissapointed and regretted should book tiger air or valuair. if got any more qn pm me i should be able to help.

[Beckham07]

u only need to provide ur verification no n ur passport
that time i took mrt to changi
u just remember ur verification no.
there will be electronic signs at the airport
very convenient

[tirak99]

Bro, I have no issue with airasia services. So far, what I need is to pass my passport over the counter, then they will issue me with broading pass. Of course, my practice is to record the booking no on the notepad. Moreover, they will send you an flight Itinerary report stating your "booking no, address, depart, arrival, the damage" via email. Just to ensure the booking is done. Remember to read.

I find that the airasia website is much easy to navigate (all my relevant info are recorded with them). I think Tiger air website also not bad (so far have not done any booking via them, at least i find that navigating is easy). :cool:

Valuair website is the worse. I don't even think of booking from them. So many various options (at least 5 options), make me confused and i need so much time to understand various options. Moreover it's not cheap (not budget IMHO). :o

[vmtech]

alright thanks all bros esp reacher for the help.
guess the only problem im encounternig right now is i duno which terminal to move my dumb ass to.

thanks man! guess i found my answer! upped ur pts! ;)

[hornie]

sorry i want to add to this, i really have something against air asia...

the stupid carrier post poned the flight time and smsed me like 30 times 1 week before the flight... thats around 4 times per day... stupid idiots...

then on the flight back after i got the boarding ticket from the airasia counter at bangkok they changed the depature hall without telling me. i waited at my depature hall for a good 1 hr before i realised that the passengers were boarding already somewhere else.. almost missed the flight..

worst is the stupid plane was really unstable... especially during the landing... the plane was still swaying left and right when it was gonna touch down.. :mad:

[LauheroNo1]

yes agree airasia sucks even if el cheapo. Firstly free seating, all must cheong for seats. Also, a lot of angmor backpackers so very sien one. Seats very crammed. Even buy coffee it is 3-in-one type and given to you by stewardess in styriofoam cups at 20 bht each. Very chiatlak one. Airplane also koyak and damn old like sotong. Watduya expect from M;sian owned company.
Worse of all, when u reach bkk, they will drop u off at the cargo terminal and then u go down tarmac and onto a bus to take u to international terminal and immigration. Just like going army for oversseas training hor!!

My first time in Airasia I booked 2 ways but did not take the return flight bec so pissed off. Went to Silom Centre and booked one way via Valuair which was at least not such a torture! :D

Agree with u. If we go for budget, then expect budget services. Honestly I think the Tuna sandwich is ok, and cheap at 50 baht (someone told me it tasted better than TigerAir's), and the "cafe dam" (black coffee) at 20 baht (hey less than 90 cents) is a steal (not much difference from SQ coffee). I dun get to keep the cups anyway, so disposible is fine. Savings of $50-70, even for not early booking is cool for me. Rather spend the cash on a good meal with my tirak after meeting her at the airport.

Crowded seats? Maybe those who complain are big in size, I find the spacing very reasonable and maybe I have a preference for leather seats. I also give top marks to the stewards/stewards. I always had a lot of fun chatting / joking with them, both in Thai and English. Most speak pretty good english too. As for older planes, well... it better than take the slow coach to BKK and I enjoy the eye candies more than the sight of a brand new planes. As long as they are safe.

And having travelled extensively, it is no issue to alight from the plane, get into the aircon bus, and then get fetched to the terminal. It is not like one got to walk all the way to the terminal right? Maybe we are too pampered by Changi airport liao. Frankly if I have to do the same in Changi and save another S$20-30, I will do it. After all the purpose of going Budget is to save money, right. It translates into a good meal with my tirak or even a nice present for her! Or for some, maybe a tip for good service?

Plus perhaps the timing is good for me and it saves me time and money on hotels, and more importantly gives me more time with my tirak, and that is my first priority (even more then price, if the difference is not too much). Yet AirAsia is still almost always the cheapest. I go by the late night flight (10+pm), arrive just past midnight, and come back early morning 7.10 flight and arrive in good time to go to office. Thus I avoid all the notorious BKK traffic Jams. Bros can also take the 3.15pm flight on Friday and return monday so need to take only 2 half days off, and u earn extra nights on Friday night (early Sat morning) and Sunday night. Of course this schedule is only great if u are going up just over weekend to be with the tirak, which is exactly what I do. The MPs and most night entertainment would have closed or are closing by the time u get to town, so u need to arrange for your own night program. What a good bro does is to call up a MP gal he knows well and and arrange for her to meet him at his hotel after work. Sounds cool to me. So he gets his massage (and more?? :D) right there in his hotel room. kekeke.

Tiger Air can be more expensive then even SQ sometimes. As for ValuAir, I have given up. So hard to get the rates they advertised - its like cheating to. With AirAsia I see the full spectrum of prices, and I can pick and choose, Also one can even buy domestic tickets for you tirak should they need to travel to meet you.

Only issue I have is that the 10.30pm flight sometimes get delayed by up to 1 hr and my poor darling has to wait at the airport for >1hr during midnight. So nowadays, I will sms my tirak from within the plane if there is a delay after I boarded and the plane just sits on the tarmac while the pilot is trying to settle the delay, Since my gf lives near the airport this is no longer an issue, as she can time her departure from the home.

[guppiesguppies]

well... budget airline have budgeted services so we shouldn't really complain...

the idea of flying in budget airline is not that strange to me for i flew around via budget carriers before we have them locally...

maybe i know what to expect while i'm using them therefore didn't suffer any culture shocks...

those that have always flew with premium airlines will see the difference in the services but you just have to adjust and get used to it...

budget carriers are for me (i'm not rich :o ) and for those who are more picky maybe you can stick your usual...

ha my worst ever ride... army C130, reach airfield in 3 tonner, hang around the holding area like illegal immigrants going to be deported... load up your own luggage... waited for 6 hours to board, after board when plane on runway suddenly u-turn back, compass spoil cannot fly... deplane and waited for 3 more hours... got transferred onto another charlie... need to use ear plugs... seating was a pain... like in mrt but less the space, my kneecap on your balls and yours on mine... in flight no entertainment... service you see spiderman climbing around the cargo nets when in flight... food is prepacked 1 box got 1 small loti and some cake i think... toliet "best!" standing type... you pee into this funnel and i dunno where the waste leads to... ha...

[facial]

My opinion...

Unless you have free lodging in BKK, otherwise, the package tour offered by finnair with hotel lodging only come up to slighly less than S$300 for a 5 day BKK tour package.

In total, if you fly by budget airline and book hotel seperately, the amount is still more than S$300 wor. Where got "hua"

I also aware of the attractive offer by finair, but we are not going there with family. Most important thing is those hotels they provide might not be gal friendly. So in the end need to do "A lar Carte". :(

Dont be mislead by the free hotel rooms offered. Hotels offered by these package are very cheap. For example Asia Hotel cost less than S$30 (800B) per day for tour grp. So for twin sharing it's less than S$15 per person per day.

A budget hotel for good chionging like Rachada Hotel City cost 600b(S$25) per day and gal friendly. For twin sharing it's around S$12.50 per person per day.

You got to do yr calculation with price of the hotels offered in Bangkok based on twin sharing basis.

One more consideration, the flight time and flying days of Finair is not good and may not suit many.

I have heard many hicups on AirAsia... i have flew on Valueair they are just as good as any normal airline. For short distance travel, i dont mind using them again. They fly two times a day to BKK and can book online without agent's fee. I would recommend them.... Disclaimer. I'm not related to Valueair whatsoever... I'm just a "value for money" traveller. Hee....hee...

het pal hosei boh
asia hotel u can get 800b per day?
cheapest i can get is onli 1100b for twin sharing :(
btw u in which province now heehee...

[GiddlyGook]

It may be already obvious to those here that fly a lot but LCCs like AirAsia et al is a bad choice for those who travel to BKK for work or are connecting to another airline in BKK. Unline mainline carriers like SQ or TG, LCCs will not "protect" you on another flight if your flight is delayed. With the mainline carriers, the will often endorse your ticket over to another airline (any airline, not necessarily within their alliance) if their flight will be delayed more than 2 hours or if you can show them you have a connection that will be jeopardised.

Similarly, LCCs very rarely allow standbys. TG (not SQ) on the other hand has very liberal standby policies. For example, you get to the airport early and you want to take an earlier flight. TG even allows you to standby for later flights. TG will also upgrade ROP (their frequent flyer program) Gold and above to C-class if Y is more than 90% full. SQ almost never gives out such operational upgrades.

Hmmm....Your hotels rates are very interesting, does the rates are walkin or online purchase? Thanks.

[sassina2]

Different carriers and different types of airlines all serve a purpose to the travellers.

To compare a tour package with the purchase of air ticket (FIT Travel) without hotel its like comparing apples with oranges.

The tour packages are cheap for a few reasons.

1) No flexibility on departures and fixed itinerary. The tour dates are fixed in most cases - at least for departures and dependent on a group being available. LCC carriers have regular schedules which are not dependent on a group being available.

2) Hotel choices are also quite fixed for groups and,

3) quoted as twin sharing as stated by others here. For single occupancy, you have to add more for comparison purposes.

4) Sometimes, you are required to follow their program e.g. between arrival and transfer to hotel and vice versa instead of straight between airport and hotel because of "complimentary shopping tour". This means that some hours will be wasted going to be "robert" at some stupid place and even if you buy nothing, your valuable time is wasted waiting for others.

If you want to compare LCC, then you have to compare with regular scheduled airlines for ticketing only.

Of course nowadays,
these regular airlines respond to LCCs with very special promotions to match LCCs. And if your travel coincide with their promotions, then its wise and worth it to fly with the regular airlines for so many obvious reasons.
However do be aware of the restrictions that they will impose or you could find yourself paying more sometimes e.g. changing return dates etc etc - heavy penalties if at all possible.

We have to thank LCCs starting with Air Asia because without them, these special promotions would not have come about, instead of cursing them.

My greatest regret will be the day all the LCCs go bankrupt and dissappear and we go back to paying high prices for travel.

One good thing about LCCs is that fares are quoted one way and you can fly in say from Phuket, go on to Bangkok and return directly from Bangkok and the other way too. The same goes for Hatyai.

When you compare this with flying Thai, you save enormously - at least S$180 on such an itinerary.

e.g. Sing-Phuket- Bkk - Sin on Thai will be about S$450
On a combination of Tiger - Air Asia - Tiger, I am paying about S$250 (in total) and during Chinese New Year Peak too!

Budget airlines are budget no service airlines so its also quite ridiculous to complain about no- service, or poor service or walking a little bit here and there from plane to bus and to terminal etc. The little inconvenience is the reason why you can travel on budget !

There was one brother here who said he could even smell all the dandruff of the passengers. While I found it funny, it was probably his bad luck. You can get business and first class passengers with dandruff too - its not exclusive to budget passengers.

I have taken advantage of the cheap flights of Air Asia (twice to Bangkok) when they launched that sector (which is always when you get their best offers) and I have no complains.

My expectations were lowered and I enjoyed the flight thoroughly. Funnily enough both my flights were trouble free and truly on time.

Even planned and brought my own duty free on board and had great Scotch all the way. Just ordered their water and asked for lots of ice!

On changes of terminal, it's not exclusive to budget airlines. It could happen to anyone.

Lastly, on accidents and crashes, it can happen to any airline as we found out with the Silkair and SIA crashes. If its your bad luck, its really your bad luck. Of course, the older the planes the more your luck could run out on you too!

Best not to fly lah if that worried about dying in the air!

I salute Air Asia and all the budget airlines that make it possible for us to have these value-for-money getaways and hope that they will survive.

Those rich and loaded brothers, just go and pay more lah since you can afford it and don't curse the budget airlines who make it possible for others to getaway too!

hi all

have enjoy this thread and would like to ask the following questions as i will be going to chiangrai in about 3 weeks time.

1) singapore to bangkok - which terminal will the plane land at bangkok?

2) bangkok to chiangrai - which terminal should i board the plane to chiangrai?

this is the first time i fly air asia so hope to have a smooth trip and would not want to miss the connecting flight to chiangrai.. i have about 2.5 hours transit time at bangkok airport.

thanks

[sassina2]

ah ya, you have Air Asia's number in Singapore., call them first before you ask here lah!

I also cannot remember this and I am sure even if you are in Bangkok, you can ask them when you are in the plane and they will find out for you too!
No need to be so kiasu - wait you get mistaken advice lagi worse!

Best regards,

[tbkhor]

. Watduya expect from M;sian owned company.

Come on bro, we never expect much from you but a little bit of respect will do. Anyway, Air-Asia is not a Malaysian owned company. Hope I didnt offend anyone.

[rukkie]

in the first place, if there wasnt an airasia, LCC like valuair, tigerair, etc wont have appeared in sg! i'm a firm supporter of LCC. imo we've been ripped off by sex-in-air for too long. waiting for the day when we can fly sg-kl on a LCC and see ticket prices of sex-in-air and mana-ada-system fall like flies!

My first time in Airasia I booked 2 ways but did not take the return flight bec so pissed off. Went to Silom Centre and booked one way via Valuair which was at least not such a torture! :D

IN most airports, they will have shuttle buses if its far.

They have information desks at most of the airports too - just open your eyes and ask and you will get the answer when there.

Bangkok - all 3 terminals are connected and walkable unless you are a cripple.

Why so kan cheong on such a minor matter?

[chew13]

I always fly UA from Singapore to Hong ####. Price of ticket is usually below SGD330 (including taxes and service charge) and that's even cheaper than Valuair. So far out of 10 flights, I had been given free upgrade to Business class twice, apparantly due to their frequently over-booked Economy class.

Dudes, go check out priceline.com.sg, you should find some good deals there.

Bkk airport got terminal 1 and 2. Domestic air is in terminal 2. but the domestic arrival hall separate the terminal 2 into two part. If you know the way, is not far to walk (through out side the building). Or you can take bus (free) at terminal 2 (if I'm right, is bus no 1, but better confirm with the staff on the spot). As for arrival from domestic flight, you can just walk in the building to terminal 1, is connected.

1. singapore - bkk, should be terminal 1.
2. bkk - chiangrai, domestic should be terminal 2 (btw, does thai aiasia fly to chiangrai?)

Ask the AirAsia crew at Changi. Never tried AirAsia to CR (CEI) but when I used to fly TG and SQ, I normally go thru customs in CEI International Airport. AirAsia might be different, cos yr ticket is not consider 1 trip, I think.

May I know end up have to pay how much for AirAsia ticket? I booked a TG flight flying tomorrow at SGD390+70tax......din have the time to check around as in a hurry to fly......3flights per day much cheaper and better than SilkAir that's all I know.....

Confirm AirAsia fly from BKK Airport to Chiangrai coz last month i just took a round trip from Bkk to Chiangrai.I also realized that maybe coz of the fuel price,the air ticket for Airasia is still the cheapest but not as cheap as before.

I like everyday about Airasia,as everybody should know,everything is budget.So budget airline,we should not expect much.But there is 1 thing,i dun like about Airasia that is delay.If it is a 30 min to a 1 hour delay,i dun mind.Actually for my flight from Sg to BKK,my flight was delay by 30 min.But for my flight from Chiangrai back to BKK,my flight was delay by 3 hours,that is frustrated.Anyway Airasia is still the cheapest airline n the best way to travel.

Happy reading.

Hi Vmtech,

Let mi explain to u how budget airline work.1)For most flight(excluding those public holiday,or hot period),not all 100% of the flight seat is fully occupied.Normally is 70% to 80% of the flight is occupied that why budget airline rather sell the remaining seats cheap rather then let it empty.2)But u must book those cheap tickets very early,maybe about 2 to 3 months in advance.3)As u book the tickets closer to the date u must to depature,the tickets will be more expensive.4)If u book last min,it will be very expensive.5)Another way is to wait and see if other rival budget airline got suddenly cheap promotion,then airasia will come out with promotion of it own to match it.

So i guess the ticket u want to buy is around n during the chinese new year period,n u also did not book the ticket early,that why it a bit expensive.But compare to SIA or TG,it cheap liao.But 1 thing for sure,budget airline mean everything have to be budget.Expection cannot be too high.A lot of people dun ask themselves,how much they pay?Dun except the same quality as SIA.Cannot compare,if they must to have SIA standard,pay SIA price.It so simple.

I hope that will answer u question

Actually it is not that simple. All airlines have a department called Revenue Mgmt who dictates what fare classes to sell at a given time. Some airlines sell cheap first and then sell expensive, other airlines are the opposite (your points 1 and 2 conflict with each other). AK revenue management style is best described as ding-dong sometimes it is cheap and sometimes it is expensive - there is no pattern. Booking way in advance often gets you their cheap fares but you can get cheap fares at the last-minute too if rev mgmt determines the flight is undersold. Simply put, you see a good fare, grab it. Usually with other airlines, I can see their fare class availability through a reservation system such as Galileo, Sabre or Worldspan etc but AK like all other LCCs, do not sell their fares on reservation systems but maintain a closed-loop proprietary system so only they know the availability.

In your case, BKK-CEI differential between the Y fare and the cheapest fare (U or P?) is only 800 baht or so one-way so not worth the headache to game their fare system. Don't book Y, settling for halfway between the 2 extremes is good enough.
