^I'm pretty sure you can just use your credit card for the KL-Melbourne transaction.

Yes, it's probably because paypal is not widely used in Malaysia itself.

Can just use credit card, debit card or direct debit.

KUALA LUMPUR: No frills airline, AirAsia Bhd, will charge a RM10 check-in fee per passenger for all flights whose bookings are made from Sept 21 onwards via conventional check-in counters.

The airline said the additional charge was part of its plan to aggressively grow revenue through ancillary income and services, instead of transferring the full cost, amid escalating jet fuel prices to its passengers.

However, the charge is not applicable for passengers opting for self check-in.

“Passengers may enjoy quicker and more convenient ways of checking-in via web on www.airasia.com, or mobile through apps on Blackberry, iPhone and Android devices,” said AirAsia in a statement today.

The apps can be downloaded by searching for the keyword “AirAsia” in the Blackberry App World, iTune App Store and Android Marketplace.

Web and mobile check-in are available upon flight booking confirmation and up to one hour before scheduled departure for AirAsia flights.

For AirAsia X, check-in will be available upon flight booking confirmation and up to four hours before scheduled departure.

This fee applies to all AirAsia domestic and international flights originating from airports in Malaysia.

As for AirAsia X, counter check-in charges will apply for flights departing from the airline’s base in Kuala Lumpur and at all airports the airline operates except in Tokyo (Haneda) and Osaka (Kansai) in Japan, Seoul (Incheon) in South Korea and Tehran (Iran).

I guess AA just wants to encourage the passengers to make use of their online/self check in kiosk so they won't have hire more manpower since there are more and more ppl flying with them...

I guess I'll have to check in online from now onwards to avoid that fee.

how to register become the member of air asia x? i want to take package to osaka, but i saw if become air asia x member the price a lot more cheaper...D: can someone help me?confused @,@

Seriously dudes, I'm really pissed with AirAsia. How many services do they wanna charge me for la? Wanna check-in, gotta pay. Wanna book online, gotta pay. Wanna call customer service, gotta pay. Wanna this, gotta pay, wanna that, gotta pay. What else? Next time they better start charging if I wanna use the toilet or use the foldable table la! =_____=

U work for AA ahhh

Well choosing  specific seat is what you WANT or it is a priority to you otheriwse they assign for you. Getting biz class or first class is also WHAT U WANT and can afford.

But check in counter charge ppl at RM10, it is a need extend it ...this is quite unreasonable .Not everyone has a pc, iphone or printer in their household. I knw it is free to chk in via KIOSK what if it is down. So all force to counter check in n charged RM10 for those withouth pre-checked in. They can even shut down all the kiosk that day n say it is down ...make a quick buck out of everyone expenses.

Today they say RM10...next few months they will impose RM15 and the next few months ...RM20...RM25.... so on

Same goes for the baggage.....I guess they have not make up their mind from RM5 to RM45 for 15kg bag

Convenient fee from RM5 - RM8

Wonder how they justify the charges.....???!!!!

Hi, first time traveler/flier here. Will be using AirAsia. Economy class. I've booked my ticket with the option for only hand luggage. I've got a few general questions...

Will they open my carry on hand luggage for checking?

Can a regular traveling bag (about 60cm x 30cm) be considered hand luggage? Will it fit in the overhead compartment?

On the plane, are we allowed to use handphone to listen to music/ take photos?

How big are the seats? Like car seats(Wira?)
Any photos of the interior? (Google has failed to provide interior of economy class)
