You can get back some of the Govt Airport Tax. SOME because they deduct a fat service charge for EACH flight. I got only RM$25 for 2 domestic + 3 intl. Go to AAsia office to do it.

I believe it's also possible to change pax name for a fee, but then it may not be worth it after that and hard to sell off.

Anybody ever do it?

After purchasing bus ticket online with flight, what is the procedure at KL Sentral?

PS: I hope AA --> Japan will be somewhere new, like Okinawa or Hakodate.

Friend booked a trip on Air Asia involving 4 international sectors, opting for insurance. Unfortunately, he broke his leg a about 10 days before departure. He was treated at the hospital, got a medical letter, sent home to recover. He has great difficulty walking around even inside the house. Of course no trip.

When Air Asia's insurance agent was contacted, they told him no claim allowed because he was NOT HOSPITALIZED, did not stay overnight in the hospital!

If you must have any insurance, check the hidden T&C.

New thread on refunds etc not working yet, so ......

I've got 3 AA promotional return KUL-SIN that I cannot use. Is it worth trying to recover something, like taxes?

Last year I got back a tiny amount on a mixed set of domestic and int'l flights.

I've got 6 various KL-SG flights I cannot use. Can anything like tax be recovered? Worth doing after deducting their admin fees?

Some AA destinations include a basic allowance of "up to ... kg"

Also, remember that the government requires airport tax to be refunded on request. I've got it back a few times from AA but MH has given me the run-around!

On flights to Thailand you can buy RM$5 SIM card, local TRUE brand. English instruction package and valid for ONE YEAR. Useful for group to keep in touch with one another.

However, be warned, no balance included. You must top up at 7-11 for 90 baht as soon as activated. Inter TRUE calls and SMS and even international calls very cheap but foreign SMS and connections to other companies' local lines burn up credit fast.

Many times nobody checks at LCCT. Small bottles and tubes in a plastic bag usually allowed everywhere in the world. To keep drinking water with you, take in an EMPTY bottle!!

I don't see any way for the ordinary passenger to avoid paying this then. So much for "All-in-One" fares. Why don't they just add in this fee like the other charges before?

How do you do it? Where is the choice for direct debit, and is it only a certain bank?
