Air Asia used to fly to UAE right? But it pulled out because of 'economic reason'. Too many middle east airlines trying to compete I guess. If they are going to fly to Egypt again, why not UAE then? UAE is more convenient as it is more to the middle.

ahh got it~ didnt see the re-print button!!

million thanks =D

HOw much did you pay for a return trip and when was it?

I took AAX to London recently. Seat config is 3 3 3; nine seats in a row.
Comfortable and enough leg space, want more leg room get hot seats.
During promo, can get for about 2K all in. Got mine at 2.75K all in.

hmm , one person one check in bag?

Thanks for your good review that really give me confidences that booking flights to France via AA

I've called their hotline to check.

It doesn't matter how many bags you have, as long as total weight is the total weight that you have bought for the luggage allowance.

^ thanks ya..

I flew AA from KL-CHC few days ago.
Everything went perfectly well. Book hot seats as well, very comfy. No problem or whatsoever. Overall very very satisfied with the service.

Of course the food not that nice, but it's not a big issue. Hehe.

Was the seating the new one as described in AA's blog? The grey & red seats.

Flying to US continent is classified as extended-long haul. Most full service airlines break down their flights with a stopover. For instance, Singapore Airlines stops at Taiwan. United Airlines make a stop in Tokyo. Thai Airways previously had a direct non-stop flight to New York, but has been discontinued.

AirAsia will need to have a well-planned launch. So probably waiting for a bigger plane, and considering which airport will allow it to do that. The closest American airports are on the west coast. So that could be an indication. Such as LA, Seattle.

Where's their blog? Is it this one? http://blog.airasia.com/index.php/hot-seat...n-long-haul-air

It's the exact same seat. I would say even more comfortable than economy seats on SIA Airbus A380 double decked (both upper and lower level) to UK I took last two years.
Mine was the one near the lavatory and can put the baby bassinet there. 17A B and C on the Airbus A330. I actually book 16 D and F and there was another guy at G but since 17 A B C was empty so I moved to the window seats. Try not to take the center ones (D F G) cause I notice people tend to keep on crossing there. The guy who sat there had to move his legs a lot of times for people to cross there.
I find the lavatory convenient. Can go anytime and especially nonit to stand there and wait when there is a lot of people.

Hi Stimix and others, how do you usually request for Tax refund? Email to them? AirportTaxRefund@airasia.com?

Thanks

Hi there, i have a question to ask.

Did anybody over here, travel with one hand carry bag together with one DSLR bag? because i was unsure that whether if they allow both bag to be carry up to the plane. of cos i will ensure that the weight will never exceed 7kg.

Just a normal hand carry sling bag and another DSLR bag.
Thanks for help.

I think should be okay... B'cos that is a camera bag.....

Laptop bag, camera bag are considered free-pass. On my trip on Thai Airways, I had a laptop/netbook bag (2 kg), camera bag (Canon SX10 camera, it is not the huge DSLR so weight is about 500 grams), and a small grocery bag for other stuff, water, light jacket.

Unless your camera is huge with all the dozen lenses, it should be allowed.

Camera bag can be an extra. Usually most airlines will let you have a cabin luggage (max 7kg) and a handbag/DSLR bag/Laptop bag.
For your case I'm very sure they won't kacau you at all.

I carried my laptop bag weighing like 9kg plus a roller cabin bag 7k on my latest AA flight.

any insider regarding to promo at 4 july 2011??

I think Australia route will be very popular as now is winter.

Yup going there end of aug to have some ski. He...
