JL: Thank you, but there's only 1 time available for both flights. It means i don't have any other choice. It's either i stick with the re-timed flight or a full refund. Am i right?

Fitri: Yes

JL: The reason is, i could have taken the zero fare when i purchased the tickets, but i paid more to get a better time and now it's re-timed with 1 flight option only. Is there a way to seek compensation rather than a full refund because i have to fly on the stated period as i have paid for my lodging, tour etc

Fitri: That is the only option provided and we do not provide any compensation because AirAsia is budget airline

JL: It's not fair for customers who paid for a better flight time and later being rescheduled to fly with those who might have paid less or zero fare for the earlier flight

Fitri: If you find this an inconvenience, please submit an online feedback form to the guest support team so that the issue can be forwarded to the precise departments for further action http://www.airasia.com/my/en/faqdetailsform.html

JL: Alright. Thanks for the info and your help. Appreciate your help and have a nice day.

Fitri: Do not hesitate to contact us again should you require any further information.

Thank you for contacting A.Asia. Have a pleasant day !

*Kucing also can fly :)*

My online feedback form which hasn't been replied or whatsoever until today (trip was in May 2010)!

I'm disappointed to know that both flights, which I’ve paid for a better flight time, are re-timed to a very inconvenient early flight. I have contacted your staffs and the options provided are to either seek a full refund or reschedule to another day (as there is only 1 flight a day, no point reschedule to another time). I must travel on the stated period because I’ve already made payment for my lodging and tours. This arrangement is very unfair to customers like me who paid for a better flight but then being rescheduled to an earlier flight which costs less or zero fare. I asked your staff is there any other form of compensation instead of full refund, his reply is 'That is the only option provided and we do not provide any compensation because AirAsia is budget airline'. I'm so disheartened by this. Budget airline doesn't mean the service has to be budgeted as well. I sincerely hope something can be done on this. I'm a fan of A.Asia and in the past, i'd experienced multiple delayed flights but this is the most distressing of all.

Ah Beng

ah beng

A term normally used in Malaysia and Singapore to refer to ethnic Chinese youths with a rather loud, and/or some would say, terrible sense of fashion. They probably would come from a lower income household. Some would argue that these youths are trying to emulate Japanese street fashion, but did not really succeed. The common Ah Beng would sport an outrageously bleached, or blond-dyed hair; an odd bootcut trousers; a tight t-shirt; and some not really pretty tattoos.

Mama has ah-beng-ized me.

She opted a new savvy copper red hairdo and complained mine was too plain.

So i got a cut, which i kinda like, but then the color didn't turn out the way i wanted.

She then said i should get a Tattoo right below my nape cause it looks cool. No thank you.

She bought me tight shirts and secretly threw'gave away my baggy pants and old normal t-shirts.

>.<

This is all because Mama is a semi-closeted Ah Lian.
