Sparkles Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I dont have a credit card and 2 years ago when I went through the process of booking an internal flight, on line, with my Australian bank DEBIT card my payment was rejected. I re booked, using my wifes CREDIT card, with her approval naturally ! Recently we went to Bali with Air Asia and once again I tried with the same DEBIT card. To my surprise it was processed as was the hotel booking through another web site. Trying to get a response by phone or email to Air Asia to get ar uling is nigh on impossible as is talking to any of their booths or offices. Any other tAir Asia ravellers have any experience with this ? I am retired and prefer not to use my wifes credit card except for emergencies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gosompoi Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I have found when the main air asia website will not approve a debit card the airasia mobile website always will. They use a different bank processing system. try mobile.airasia.com . I have also found calling the ticketing desk in Thailand and Singapore or the UK which are 24hrs a day can book the ticket over the phone and only cost about 50 baht more.

britmaveric Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I'd wager if your debit card has a VISA symbol on it - most likely work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
