Mac Mickmanus Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 If you book online, make sure you put your names in the right places on the online booking form , my name cam out as Manus Mick on the ticket and I nearly had to buy a new ticket as the cost to change the name on the ticket was more than the flight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marin Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 ST, Since this is airline based. Didn't you just leave internationally via Suwannabhum airport yesterday afternoon. Who did you fly? Where are you? But most importantly what's up with the all day posting while away? I like Nok air domestically. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These split names are quite common. Many moons ago I worked for Raytheon and Bendix in ABQ. Local companies would send mail to Mr Ray Theon and of course Mr Ben Dix. It was funny at the time.

I have a niece at uni in CM and my wife books her flights and usually goes with Vietjet. I was looking to go to Vietnam next year and Air Asia scheduling was more attractive.

biggles45 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Flown internationally and domestically without problems several times. Very good promos, especially inside Vietnam. Comparable with other SEA airlines to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairynuff Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Airline is good, website is dreadful and the app even worse. Every time I’ve used them they’ve weighed my carry on. Beware you daren’t go over by even a gram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burma Bill Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 (edited) Pre-pandemic, I flew with both airlines. Air Asia on domestic routes within Thailand and short haul international routes from Thailand, VietJet on domestic routes within Vietnam. Both more or less the same, offering basic budget airline services using A320s with no "frills" - ideal for me on short haul flights. IMHO Air Asia was more acceptable due to its international "Fly-Thru" facility avoiding all the hassle at Bangkok DMK, despite a change of planes. The airline had its own Immigration desk and avoided all the long queues at the main Immigration desks. Baggage in the hold is transferred directly from flight to flight without any personal involvement. Since the pandemic, last week I flew back to Siem Reap from DMK after a short holiday in Thailand. Same service with Air Asia and, surprisingly, after 3 years I am still registered as a "discount (air miles) member and received a small reduction in my ticket price. Please note - with both airlines, when you receive the final cost of your flight, it will exceed the fare quoted when "add ons" are included such as fuel surcharge, airport taxes, booking fees etc. etc. Edited November 21, 2022 by Burma Bill additional information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
