use other platforms can get cheaper with better places to stay with that price

The flights are not by airasia right?

I would tell you my experience.
1. during booking says got luggage 20kg, but when checked at KLIA at the airline counter - says ticket no including luggage.

2. 24 hours before flight back from oversea, got a sms from Airasia informing flight disruption. (connecting flight nightmare). Asked me to seek clarification with airasia chat. waited 30 mins for human to answer the chat - you know what the best story?

since it's less than 24 hours flight, we cannot do anything, please contact the airline for further assistance.

yes that's the level of customer service you get.
3. After you bought ticket from airasiamove, the confirmation is NOT immediate, you need to wait up to 2 hours to get the 3rd party airline to confirm the purchase.

scam.

they packaged it for you so you get better deals.

Check in Trip.com. Survey few platforms.

Afterall, Like said, AA want to be ONE stop centre for "waterfish" tourist.

me 1st time using 3rd party booking AA and this is what I found.

On 3rd party, you can't book food/seats etc. They will give you genuine AA booking number
With the booking number, log into AA website and you will be able to buy Add On like food/seats
And you can also do online check in
With flight cancellation etc, AA will still help you change to different flight like normal AA booking. As for refund, no idea.

General advise is, try to book directly with the airline in case some hiccup happens.

But I do find 3rd party booking can be slightly cheaper and I use it to book Tune Hotel. And more than once, standing in front of other hotel counter, I pull up my phone to make room booking on-the-spot because it is cheaper.
