Air Asia

[pattaya_mad 208]

I would like some opinions on Air Asia, Im thinking of taking a 4 days trip up to Chaing rai next Febuary, been on their website and it comes to a little under 4000 baht return for two people..8.000 baht cheaper than Thai.

I like Air Asia ....... great value for money. The biggest pain previously was the rugby scrum for seats but they are allocated now.

 

They have a sale on at the moment so you may be able to get your flights a bit cheaper.

I flew Air Asia from Udon Thani to BKK...cost me $120 for the 2 of us, so it was a rip off...could have done a 10-hour bus ride for $40

 

Edit: Oh yeah, it was a brand new A320 aircraft so was nice...you have to pay extra for baggage (about $15 a suitcase I think) and food and drink (it was just over an hour flight so who cares). All in all it was a great experience except the TG was petrified by flying...so of course we took the bus next time lol

I just did a search and it is 4240 baht for 2 return BKK to Chang Mai in february with all the taxes, or about $125 for two

 

I doubt that you can get cheaper than that on brand new aircraft... and it matches my previous flight cost for Udon Thani

Air Asia are great for the short flights.

Cheap, good booking engine and somewhat better than many budget carriers.

Just be aware of things like luggage weight limits.... if you have to pay at the airport it is aggravating and expensive.

And some of the gals are hot in their lovely red two piece suits!

I fly Air Asia almost every month. I find their planes to be clean, spacious, and good enough for short flights. Although, they do tend to be late a lot. Thehy run their operations a little too lean sometimes.

[aussiechic 209]

What do mean by short flight as I want to book Bangkok to Vietnam is this what you would consider short?

I consider anythinig 4 hours or less a short flight. Any longer than that, and I want entertainment, food, and beer! Air Asia, does not have inflight entertainment at all. Snacks can be purchased, and no beer on sale on any flights.
