Air Asia won Skytrax World Best Low Cost Airline for the Year 2009 and 2010. It is not easy to win the award for two years in a row and who know, maybe for 2011 as well. But still many people do complaint about Air Asia ex-specially delays and flight cancellation. For me, I understand that flight cancellation or re-time or delay is an common practice in aviation industry. Then complains about Air Asia charging for baggage, meals, seats and etc. Come on, its low cost airline. But 1 thing, even if add all that extra charges up its still cheaper than other full fare airlines. So whats the big deal? People choose Air Asia because its cheap. Its freaking cheap!!! The fact is, the mistake in human minds, why? Because if a low cost airline or any low cost services did a mistake or cause any small hassle, it will be concluded because if cheap and that's the reason for the mistake. But if a full fare airline or an executive service did the same error, it will be concluded as genuine and forgivable. Generally, people always complain is people who don't get the fares they wanted in the sale and the person who not ready to fly. But till not all complains should be ignored, mistakes happened and lesson has to be learned and complains can't be avoided, because we are humans.
Based on people experience and the positive ways to see people complains. Here's our Top 5 reason why to choose Air Asia.
5. Pre-Booking Advantages
Air Asia works on different fare class levels. The will start the schedules of each flight with the lowest fare class level and it will move gradually up as the booking continues. This actually good most of us will plan our vacation at least 6months prior to the dates. Based on this fare system which Air Asia using, its an advantage for those who booking the flight earlier where the chances getting lowest fare class level is high regardless to any promotions
4. Excellence Service
They do have excellence services. For a low cost airline to have such service, its good. Traveled with Air Asia a few times and never had any issues with the service provided. Sometimes maybe 1 or 2 staff which create a bad impression to Air Asia but this happen everywhere, not only with Air Asia.
3. Offers Tour + Accommodation + Flight
Air Asia do offer travel packages such as accommodation's and tours together with the flight. Its actually makes the trip easier and hassle fee. Services like airport transfers to hotel, tour packages is actually good to be pre-booked together with the flights.
2. Destinations
Air Asia flies to more than 400 routes from all the hubs. This actually why Air Asia is good when compared to other low cost airlines. Even though they fly less destination to Europe at this moment (Stansted-London & Orly-Paris) but to explore Asia, Air Asia will be the best to choose. Destinations like Balikpapan, Hat Yai, Ubon Ratchthani and a lot more where I never heard before.
1. Cheap!!!
This obviously will be the top reason why Air Asia is better than other Airline. The fares to all the destination is far much cheaper than other Airlines. No matter you flying domestic or international, it is cheap. Air Asia is well known for the promotions, it is more cheaper if you got an promotion fare, RM1, RM5, RM10 and even they had RM0 fare sales last time. The seats are limited but the chance for you getting its high if you know when its actually starting. I will get to know by the newsletter that they will send to my mail. Whenever there is promotion, somehow i will get a flight no matter to where.
