Agreed 100%.

That's why they shouldn't complain and say AA is a lousy airline just because it skidded. Then might as well as them take bus/train to their destination LOL

I make booking to Haneda for 2 person. Going - check in languan 15kg. Come back check in - both person, each is 15 + 20 kg. However, for coming back is single luggage. Can it be treat as sharing? As both of us will check in together.

about CHECKED-IN luggage, let's say I booked for 20kg allowance. Can I checked in 2 physical luggages (combined weight <= 20kg) or just 1 physical luggages?

airport 1st timer here, wonder what to do at the airport.
after online check-in (boarding tickets are printed) , straight to the luggage drop off > security > wait for plane departure
is that correct?
p/s: can i bring a laptop bag and another bag into the cabin? which means 2 bags

Need to check on the check-in luggage.

I've book flights individually for 2 person with 2 booking confirmation number but both flying on the same flight and we will have to online check-in separately (since online check-in only able to check-in 1 booking number at once). When we drop off our baggage at airport, each with 20kg luggage capacity which means 40kg for both, can AA take in ONLY 1 luggage with 40kg for 2 separate bookings on the same flight?

I wanna ask something. Quite urgent actually since those stupid & bas tard Airaisa customer service people cannot answer it.

I booked a hot seat (1C) but in the travel Itinerary, never stated Xpress Boarding. So meaning I have to queue up with normal seat people?

Usually all the hot seat booking will go first to the plane right? After 10 minutes then only normal seat booking will go.

So how about my case?

You are so wrong. Hot seat come automatically with Xpress Boarding. Once you purchased hot seat, you queue lane will be separated from normal seat (As in side by side). They will give hot seat a 10 minutes start to walk in the plane first. After that only the normal seat will be released (10 minutes later).

I already called up AA CS yesterday to verify.

Wow, thanks for tips!

From my experience, I used to carry a backpack, those backpackers type, Deuter, 40L version. And it did pass through the security area too.

Air travel likely to cost more with rising fuel prices
PETALING JAYA: Air travellers are facing the possibility of paying higher fares as airlines struggle with escalating fuel prices in view of the turmoil in the Arab world.

“Depending on the continuation of the Middle East crisis, we may adjust our all-in fares over the next seven days,” MAS executive vice-president (sales and marketing) Datuk Bernard Francis said.

Hinting that air fares might see an increase very soon, he pointed out that “minor adjustments” to the fuel surcharge had already been implemented two weeks ago.

On Wednesday, CNNMoney reported that US oil prices momentarily hit US$100 a barrel for the first time in two years amid reports that Libyan oil production was shutting down.

The price was at the highest level since 2008.

At a briefing to announce its full results for 2010, MAS managing director and CEO Tengku Datuk Seri Azmil Zahruddin said the airline was monitoring fuel prices and the crisis in the Middle East before determining if there was a need for an increase.

“The possibility of an increase will depend on the direction the crisis takes,” he said.

MAS has been imposing a fuel surcharge on its passengers since 2008.

Many international airlines, including Australia’s Qantas Airways and British Airways, have already increased their fuel surcharge.

The International Herald Tribune reported yesterday that US airlines had raised their fares four times since last month, compared with just three price revisions last year.

Even low-cost carriers in the United States were not spared although they had always tried to beat their rivals in terms of pricing.

Low-budget airline AirAsia, which does not impose a fuel surcharge, has indicated that it might have to introduce the additional charge to cope with escalating fuel prices.

On Thursday, its group CEO Datuk Seri Tony Fernandes said the low-cost carrier would keep tabs on oil price movements.

He conceded that “the introduction of a fuel surcharge cannot be discounted if the current price is sustained or rises further.”

“We will be able to implement a fuel surcharge within 24 hours of the decision should fuel prices climb and stay high,” he was quoted as saying.

During an interview yesterday, AirAsia X chief executive officer Azran Osman-Rani said it was “too early to tell” but confirmed that they were studying the possibility of increasing air fares.

err.. got passenger service fee?

Airasia is encouraging us to check in via online/mobile but was told by friend we still need to queue for check in luggage. What you guys think? Better check in counter or online/mobile...For check in counter better chance for 2 seat together instead of split?
