Some months ago it was not possible to purch ticket/s online visa Air Aisa from USA and with a US debit/cc card (esp latter noted). Has this changed?

Thank you

Really? For four years, I've purchased tickets online from Air Asia using my USA credit card. The address attached to my credit card is USA-based as well. If there's been a change from that policy, it's been within the last few months.

A month or so back I booked OK using a UK based CC, Account holder didn't even have to be in the travelling party (unlike Thai Airways)

Me too. Booked Air Asia - BKK to Krabi - from UK using UK credit card no problems

Me too. A few times now. Booked with an Aussie c/c and no worries. At one time the site crashed and I ended up on the phone... yawn... but eventually got a supervisor who did the business in exemplary fashion. But did stiff me for 50bht for the service.

A couple of weeks ago, I booked online with Air Asia from Chiang Mai using a U.S. Citibank Credit Card with a Thai address on the card. I think we have covered all the permutations.

this thread sums of the board perfectly. someone asks a specific question then everyone chimes in with evertything but th eanswer.

even you thaipro. citibank may be a usbank - but that is for all intents and purposes a 'thai' purchase.

note: US purchase, US credit/debit

that was the issue.

Jeez......bit harsh isn't it, people are only trying to be helpful..........only takes a minute to read the replies.

For the record i too have used a UK card with a Uk address to purchase Air Asia tickets the latest just this week from my computer here in Thailand.

I wouldn't of thought there was any difference between the UK and the US but who knows. ........sorry cant be more helpful.

lumak: Instead of criticizing my attempt to help, why not tell us how AirAsias reservation system knows a U.S. Card on a U.S. Bank can detect that the card holder changed his address from the U.S. to Thailand, since one can change ones address at Citibank by a mere key stroke or two to anywhere in the world!!

Just realised mine was a Thai purchase so even less helpful than i thought........

One sure fire way to find out if no one knows for sure here , is to find the cheapest Air Asia ticket and attempt to book it........might cost you a few bucks but at least you will know for sure. (assuming your currently in the US of course.)
