Air Asia

[Chrisrs]

Hi guys 

I’m booked to come over to LOS in March 24. 
 

long haul flight is sorted but I am planning on going to Ho Chi Minh city straight from BKK as I want experience a few nights in Vietnam, I’m then flying from SGN to Chiang Mai and then finally From there to Hua Hin where I spend a couple of weeks chilling before coming back up to Bangkok.

The flights all seem pretty straightforward but involve 3 different airlines; Vietnam Airways, Viet Jet and Air Asia. I have set up and Air Asia account and see that I can book all three flights through them, my question is this the best way or am I better to book direct with each individual airline?
 

Also I’m looking to do the tourist type things in Saigon such as tunnels and war museum but does anyone have advice on the best massage type mongering areas/ establishments to explore.

looking forward to replies

 

thanks

Just on the flights you would be much better off booking all 3 separately. If you did all on Airasia it limits you to just airasia flight routes, timing and pricing. 

have a look on Kayak for each route and just book singles direct with the airline that suit the time and budget. There is no benefit to putting them all on one airline.

Air Asia is fine as a no frills airline tbf especially for those from the U.K. & Europe that are used to easyJet & Ryanair I mean they make Air Asia look like Singapore Airlines! 😄

Ha, I refuse to fly Ryanair although I cope with EasyJet.

I genuinely have no issues with any of the low cost airlines - Tiger, Scoot, air Asia etc etc they work just the same as easyJet and Ryanair - pay the fee, turn up on time, keep baggage weight low and arrive at the other end. 
 

small bit of common sense and you can go to a lot of places for not a lot of money 😊😊

I flew with Air Asia more than 5 years ago and I have no complaints. I booked the flights directly with Air Asia and immediately specified the luggage I needed. I checked in online and only had my luggage labeled at the airport. The 90 minute flight was smooth, but the seat pitch was very narrow. I received my luggage at its destination quickly and without any damage. One small criticism is that the cabin temperature was very cold.

 Does Air Asia actually ever weigh carry-ons? I flew them once into DMK and I did not see any inspections. But for my next trip, I will probably have more than the published 7kg. Also, will they allow a 20" spinner and a backpack (as a personal item). 

I'm stopping in TL on my way home to the US, so I'll have quite a bit of luggage. Not too comfortable with checking in two bags; I always like to carry one on.

I was checked by air asia and they were strict.

Vietjet is much better. Booking through Air Asia does not bring any advantages, potentially only higher cost.
