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?

It means you already paid the RM8 convenience fee. So they will not charge you anymore fee when you add-on, regardless whether you use credit card or direct debit for the add-on.

I wouldn't say buying via CC is better, it depends on the amount and situation. Credit card charges you RM16 for a return trip, but direct debit only RM4.

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 longer you wait, the higher the price is. When available seats getting lesser, the price also getting higher.

For me, I don't care about what ever promo they have, I just buy ticket as early as I can.

If A & B's tickets bought together under A's account, is there any way B can buy add-ons eg luggage &  food without acessing A's account?

If B can hacked or login to A's AA account..for sure can  ..Better if B got hold of A's credit card 

It appears that the checked baggage fee has been revised yet again.

This is the fee for KUL-MFM, old fee is shown at the right column

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

The only completely free method now is pay using BIG prepaid visa + reload from CIMB AA account + meet the swipe condition for the BIG annual fee waiver 

add: ops need RM10 application fee for the BIG card, so nothing is free 

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

All AirAsia domestic flights will maintain the 15kg checked baggage tier, however, the 35kg tier for checked baggage & sports equipment fee will be removed.  AirAsia domestic flights includes flights within Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, Japan (until 31 October 2013 for Japan).

This means that the available checked baggage & sports equipment fee tiers on
- International flights will be 20kg, 25kg, 30kg and 40kg
- Domestic flights will be 15kg, 20kg, 25kg, 30kg and 40kg

For our international guests, if you have booked your checked baggage and sports equipment fee for 15kg or 35kg before 31 August 2013, we will be giving you a free upgrade to 20kg and 40kg respectively!

No wonder. There is no more 15 kg option available! The lowest amount is now 20kg.
