"experience was just so absurd"

(South Korea)

Trip Verified | My wife and I have done around the Oceania trip from June to July this year going from Korea to Australia, from Australia to Bali, from Bali to Philippines and back to Korea. Given the multiple trips we had to make, we booked each leg separately as we planned our trip to the next destination. While almost all the other leg's trip went relatively smoothly (except Cebu Pacific losing our golf clubs for 6 days), we faced rather a “lost-for-words” issue with the last leg of our trip - from Philippines to Korea. We made sure we are traveling with the allowance of checking in 2 x 20Kg luggage and 2 x 20Kg Sporting Equipment, but for some reason, it was shown on their system as we have only booked for 2 x 20Kg Sporting Equipment and no additional check-in allowance. Who in the right mind would only purchase the check-in allowance for Sporting Equipment when traveling around the globe for 45 days? If this was the other way around where I have only purchased the check-in allowance for the regular 20Kg luggage and not the sporting equipment, this could make little more sense, but this was not the case. Even in their website it is clearly stated that the "Value Pack" from the ticketing option specifically allow 20Kg check-in luggage for each of their passenger. I have gone extra miles to specifically remove my “obvious right" to check-in 20Kg luggage (with the Value Pack option), but instead I chose to pay extra 2400 Pesos to “only" check-in my sporting equipment. Although myself and all the employees at the airport could clear see that we have specifically selected the option to check in our normal luggage along with our sporting equipment, only because it is not stated the same way in their system, we were forced to pay 6.5 times more for our additional luggage we had, so we do not miss the flight. This experience was just so absurd and dumb, I am lost for words.

"would not check me in"

(Japan)

Trip Verified | I had a connecting flight from Okinawa to Osaka that was delayed by two hours. That airline made every accommodation to help me to make the AirAsia flight to Manila. Despite sprinting through the airport and arriving at check in 50 minutes before the flight was supposed to depart AirAsia would not check me in. I didn’t even have check baggage.

"still waiting for our refund"

(Spain)

Trip Verified | Our flight was cancelled 2 weeks before departure. We followed the instructions in the email for refund since Oct 2022, we are still waiting for our refund. We are a group of 7 pax, nobody receive the refund yet. Apparently, this is a common practise from Air Asia. I feel I'm being scammed. Never encounter such lousy customer service for a refund.

"it was disappointing"

(Philippines)

Trip Verified | Flew this airline for the first time from Manila to Tokyo Narita (roundtrip ticket). I get that it’s a budget airline, but it was disappointing. In my opinion, when you add the budget fare with add-ons such as bags (bags are only 1 piece, 20kg), you’re paying even more than you would a 5-star airline where there is at least 1 free checked bag, 23kg. The ground staff were friendly enough. The boarding passes were printed on receipt-like paper, a cost cutting measure I don’t really mind. While waiting at the gate, there was no announcement that the gate had changed. There was just a sign facing away from us indicating where the new gate was. Good thing my group saw a friend on the same flight, who had checked in much later, and we found out that they had a different gate printed. The seats were cramped and uncomfortable. The cabin crew were fine.

"Horrible experience all around"

(United States)

Not Verified | Horrible experience all around. Purchased 2 tickets at the same time for my girlfriend and I, the airline sat us in different seats without resolving the issue. Technical difficulties at the counter which caused long check in times. I do not recommend flying this airline if you're not from the region. I don't recommend flying this airline even if you are from the region.

"food on board are salty"

(Philippines)

Trip Verified | The food on board are salty and expensive. Our flight going to Phuket was delayed but the boarding crews didn’t inform the passengers. Coming back to Philippines, check in crew was grumpy and the boarding crew was not friendly

"had to fall in line again to check in"

(Philippines)

Trip Verified | Checked in online, we already have e-boarding pass but we had to fall in line again to check in again and again. We thought that online check will be easier and hassle free. Not in this airline.

"Takes ages for a bag drop off in Manila"

(Philippines)

Trip Verified | Takes ages for a bag drop off in Manila after online check-in. Attendants, although pleasant, ask too many questions. Aircraft was so hot, we stayed on tarmac for half an hour, 30C in the cabin, no drink offered. I appreciate wider seat as a plus size person!

"over an hour delayed with no explanation"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | Awful airline, avoid at all costs. Firstly it was over an hour delayed with no explanation. The organisation by the staff was a total mess. Then herded into buses to get to the plane and left waiting on the bus for nearly half an hour while those in the previous flight got off (why couldn't this be done before?). Then totally inflexible and clueless cabin crew and took forever to get bags the other end (again zero communication or explanation for this, no respect for customers).

"can't recommend at all"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | On Sunday 13/11/22 I was going back from Iloilo to Manila and had a connection with Emirates. Between 2 and 3 am I got an email that my flight is delayed by like 4 hours. Of course I was only aware of this around 8 am when I woke up. So needed to rebook the Emirates flights which I barely managed to do because of time concerns and cost me an extra 260 pounds. Also what if I can't rebook it how do I get home? When I asked for some kind of compensation they answered since I didn't have an insurance I am not eligible for one. All I got was a little rice with McDonalds chicken and some water. If this was not enough after we boarded they made us wait another hour inside the plane so the originally 13:15 flight took off around 17:50. The first 25 mins they announced, but the rest was not communicated at all. This was my first and last travel with the company. I am disappointed and can't recommend at all
