Human Nature,
I honestly did not see the rm4 additional charge when I made the meals selection. I was only aware of it when I wanted to make payment.
Tell me, when were you aware of the rm4 charge? Initially I thought Maybank2u imposed the transaction cost but when I called them, they say it is not from them.
Although it is not a huge amount but AA will be raking in millions with this add on fee.

human u mean after that if we want add on meal they will impose small fee?

This is a problem because what most people tend to do is book the air ticket first and when flying is close - add on luggage and meals to avoid losing too much if you decide not to fly last minute.

I suppose now they charge RM4 per transaction regardless of the amount - meaning if you do it the old way by adding on luggage and meal when flying is near, you pay RM4 + RM4 for making 2 transactions.

I just check in and buy my luggage, luggage fee increased but no extra charge rm4

hmm end of last yr.. u mean credit card fee introduction? or add-on's introduction?

ohh not sure about direct debit, yes use credit card..

means only for those who use direct debit will have charges, if they want to do add-on? if so buying via cc is better?

Hmm yes have to pay the rm8.. ohh because i saw someone mention this but i am not sure it is for cc/direct debit "I suppose now they charge RM4 per transaction regardless of the amount - meaning if you do it the old way by adding on luggage and meal when flying is near, you pay RM4 + RM4 for making 2 transactions."

The debit card processing fee is ridiculous. What ever way you pay for ticket, there is charges now. Thanks AA for sucking money out of passengers. I lost my respect on Fernandes

Don't forget that reload also chargeable 

Interesting. I logged in to upsize my checked baggage from 15 kg to 20 kg but the pull down menu already shows 20 kg. I proceed to confirm and no payment is needed. Inside my itinerary,  it is shown as Ancillary Upgrade and the amount is deducted (ie FREE).

What a pleasant surprise as I was kinda annoyed that they increased the fee in August without any announcement. Anyone got this  Ancillary Upgrade before?

Quite creepy that they can read my mind/intention to upsize my luggage
