AirAsia luggage bags left in the rain

On 27 July 2011, I took a flight from KL to Kota Kinabalu with AK5102 departing from LCCT airport. It was raining heavily that day and passengers were asked ushered through the boarding area into the covered walkways leading to the planes. But due to the heavy downpour, we all had to wait almost 30minutes under the barely covered walkway before allowed to board the plane. While boarding the plane, I noticed some luggage bags left unattended in the rain, just next to the plane! And to my horror, when we landed at Kota Kinabalu Airport, many luggages arrived soaking wet! Some backpackers picked up their backpacks and they were dripping wet! My luggage bag too suffered this horrible neglect and my clothes were all wet! It was indeed a misery for me to have arrived in a strange town with wet clothes for the night... all thanks to AirAsia / LCCT crew who had no respect for customers' rights and little regard to the inconveniences caused!

AirAsia poor hospitality

Apa yang saya tulis ini adalah berdasarkan sifat perikemanusiaan dan juga simpati saya pada salah seorang penumpang anda yang tiba-tiba rebah disebabkan tdak dapat perkhidmatan yang terbaik dari krew-krew Air Asia di kaunter khidmat pelanggan. Pada jam 1.30pm, 31/7/2011, Encik Anthon telah rebah di dalam restoran Marrybrown disebabkan sakit gaut yang dialaminya. Punca utama disebabkan beliau terpaksa dipapah keluar dari kereta dan dibawa perlahan-lahan untuk check in disebabkan salah seorang krew Air Asia tidak dapat membenarkan kerusi roda (wheel chair) diberikan pada Encik Anthon atas alasan prosedur dan hanya dibenarkan mengambilnya selepas chick in. Malang menimpa Encik Anthon apabila selesainya urusan check in, beliau terpaksa pulak menunggu lagi disebabkan kerusi roda hanya akan diberikan 20 minit sebelum berlepas. Apa salahnya diberikan awal dan caj dikenakan (jika perlu) disebabkan penumpang anda amat memerlukan perkhidmatan tersebut.
Saya dan dibantu oleh pelanggan yang lain memberikan perkhidmatan yang terdaya walaupun kami hanya salah seorang pelanggan Air Asia yang setia. Dimanakah sifat perikemanusiaan kakitangan Air Asia. Saya dan pelanggan lain amat sedih dan kesal atas sikap tidak peduli kakitangan Air Asia dan langsung tak ada budi bahasa.
Walaupun tambang murah, Air Asia patut menitik beratkan soal service pada pelanggan terutamanya orang tua, orang sakit dan kanak-kanak kecil. Jangan lah hanya memandang keuntungan semata-mata.

Ikhlas dari saya,
Sobri Mokhtar.

AirAsia poor handling of baggage

I am a Malaysian, living abroad for 6 years now, as such, a regular customer of Air Asia over the past years. Though we read and learn of the tremendous growth and expansion of Air Asia to more countries, it's upsetting to note that the service is not moving in the same direction. Personally, I have noticed the downward spiral of efficiency of staff and services provided to its customers. Though they brag and boast of their achievements and give 3 cheers to the passengers on flight, it seems all like a marketing gimmick and un-personal gesture. What customers really what is value for their money (as they claim to provide), and not getting ripped off with all the cleverly hidden extra costs ! Though I used to be proud of Mr. Fernandez 's achievement, like all powerful and rich "celebraties", I think he has lost touch with grass root and has been negleting his main asset, CUSTOMERS ! This will probably be just another of many complaints that will pushed under the rug or ignored, BUT statistics have proven, if this pattern continues, downfall of Air Asia is inevitable, I'm afraid. Customer Service is the key ! Start with your baggage handles, they are rough and throw your suitcases like " the garbage man throwing the thrash". I have had 3 damaged bags, 1 brand new ! I have the right to complain and expect a response...but never get one ! very frustrating...

AirAsia deceitful website/overcharging

To whom it may be concerned, my name is harrison tripple and I am very disappointed with the service I received from your airlines. I booked a flight leaving from ho chi minh city, vietnam - transferring through kuala lumpur, mlaysia - and a final destination of gold coast, australia. When I booked my flight I bought the ticket for 2 items of baggage of up to 25kg each. When I arrived at the airport in ho chi minh city the agents told me that I had only purchased 1 baggage item of up to 25kg and then told me I would need to pay over $1000.00 us if I wanted to get both bags on the plane. I even showed the agent on my printed ticket that I received by email from airasia where it said that I had 2x up to 25kgs of baggage. The customer service agent was incredibly unhelpful and did absolutely nothing to help me sort out the problem. He insisted I had been mistaken and I nearly missed my flight because of the situation. I then had to leave one of my bags in vietnam which I will now have to pay to ship my luggage to australia. I came to australia because i'm studying in gold coast and I am very limited in my financial abilities. I would like to be reimbursed or receive some sort of assistance for this inconvenience as I don't have the financial ability to waste money on shipping my bags when I already purchased, through airsia, the shipping rights of my baggage. The flight booking number for my flight is d9nsud, the flight number from hcmc - kl was ak883. The flight number from kl - gc was d72702. My phone number in australia is [protected]. I have tried contacting by phone the call centre in australia and pushing my complaint, however there is no access to the call center. Your website is deceitful and it is very difficult to contact anyone with a problem that needs solving. I truly hope your company will do the right thing and honor my purchase, if this can be resolved correctly I would look forward to continuing our relationship in the future. If this cannot be resolved correctly I will do everything in my power to make sure that I make all potential customers you may receive choose another way to travel. Please contact me as soon as possible.

AirAsia terminated flights

Over the past 15 years, I have travelled to over 80 countries around the world and this is this first complaint to an airline I have ever made.
We purchased 2 Air Asia tickets for a flight 8 months in the future, then 6 months later (and half way through our around the world trip) we received an email stating that this flight route was terminated (not cancelled but entire route terminated not to be flown again).
However, this was known by Air Asia for at least 6 months prior to informing its customers as per online news articles, that means Air Asia knew of this termination within 2 weeks of us booking the flight! Why wait 6 months before informing customers of a terminated flight? They didn’t care about how it affects their customers having to rebook air fares 6 month later making the availability less and therefore prices higher (4 times in our case). Not to mention the incredible inconvenience it causes 6 months later when we were mid travel (in our case, in the Middle East with little means of communication, costing us 2 days of our holiday trying to sort this mess out and purchase replacement flights).
No Sensible Alternatives were given - Air Asia could have so easily offered / arranged flights on existing Air Asia flights via another city, preventing a massive amount of time and expense for its customers having to arrange alternatives and then have to deal with travel insurance claims and chase Air Asia for a refund.
From the time of Air Asia knowing the route was terminated, it took a year to finally receive the refund (and 6 months after requesting a refund). Why did I have to chase this multiple times, further wasting even more of my time? I did not receive a call back about this matter when requested.
Why weren’t we refunded all that we paid (who refunds the loss in exchange rate from when we booked the flights compared to the refund date?). Who refunds our travel insurance excess? Where is the money interest on Air Asia having our money for 1 year?
Why send only an email in a hope that the customer receives it? What if we hadn’t – what if it was marked by a spam filter as junk? If sending an email, why not allow your customers to reply by email since it is a critical issue and they are asking their customers a question about a refund or credit? Why include phone numbers in the email that do not exist? Why force customers to make contact only by phone and therefore force customers to incur toll call costs from another country?
After having to send this compliant twice, they took a month to reply with a typical ‘sorry but go away’ half baked answer reflecting the way they have handled this from the start.
Air Asia is an embarrassment to the airline industry with NO regard for their customers.
In summary, flight booked, terminated 2 weeks later, informed customers 6 months later, held money for 6 more months after multiple requests for payment. Nothing short of corrupt conmen and who regulates this? What can I do about it?

AirAsia refund on airasia cancellation of flight

Case Acknowledgement - CAS-348399-WB50FB CRM:0001368

Since Jan 2011, Airasia decided to terminate the flight from Brunei to Kota Kinabalu which i had purchased since nov/Dec 2010. I recevived a letter from Airasia that i will receive my refund on the later stage. Patiently, i waited till Feb 2011. No Refund or mail about it. So i emailed them. No response. No calls over months. I repeated resend them the same letter with my booking number etc.
Till i finally found out that a couple friends of mine purchased the same flight with me using their credit card and cash voucher given by airasia. They received their full refund along with their vouchers.

I got frustrated. I started sending mails to any email address i can find. Till in Mid May 2011, i finally received a call and email that they can only refund me the amount i made using my Credit card but not the voucher i used.

I replied back that This is not my fault. the flight was cancelled. And the voucher was not a gift nor lucky draw. It was a compensation voucher for the previous trip i went. The flight got delayed for over 8-10 Hours.

I felt that i was being coned at Airasia. Not only they refund to pay me a few hundred ringgit on the vouchers. they hardly respond back to customer and It took more 5-6 months for a response back. I am seriously having doubt on their management. For one of the largest airline in the world, and yet, they cant even repay back customer refund accordingly.

complete disappointment. I urge all viewers to think twice before purchasing any tickets with Airasia.

AirAsia airasia is very unfriendly to infant and mother

So I purchased 2 adult tickets + an infant ticket to fly from Penang to Singapore.
Since there is a fee for infant, I suppose there should be some arrangement to help the mother with baby.
The 1st problem I faced was parent with infant is unable to do the web check-in.
When I reach the counter to check in, I asked the staff why is that I can't do the webs check-in?
They told me there need to have special arrangement for moms and babies.
GREAT!
So what had AirAsia arranged for us?
Mom and baby at 7A and father on 12F...
You know we have baby with us and you had charge a fee on the baby but yet you did nothing that helps us.
During boarding there wasn't any announcement for "those with infant or elders please come forward to board first".
Luckily the people around was kind enough to let me went in first seeing we carrying baby, stroller, and the man on 7B was kind enough to offer me his seat.
Unfortunately, you couldn't find all these common sense with AirAsia.
This is very disappointed, you should do better than this, Tony...

AirAsia cancelled ticket refund

Booked a return ticket back to KL from Abudhabi on 27 Feb 2010, got to know thru Facebook that the flights from Abudhabi will be cancelled permanently. Called the local call centre in Dubai and was confirmed the above, later recieved an email stating the same and can apply for an refund if required. Replied asking for the refund. Recieved a confirmation mail for the refund and would take atleast 2 months to be processed.
After a few months followed up as there was no refund. Was replied stating that it is already refunded. Checked the account but nothing. Replied again with a copy of the same but no reply since then.
Followed up Many times thru emails but still waiting till now and it is more than a year.
Absolutely could not believe it.
Hope this mail reaches the respective authority?
I only wish to have my refund and will not thing again going back to Air Asia.
Thank you for this oppurtunity...

Whatever you do, keep chasing them for your refund. Provide as much proof of your bank statements, or any records you can. The same thing has happened to me. I've been waiting for a refund for over 5 months now, and on one occasion I rang them up as there was an strange deposit of $252 from Air Asia (this was weird as my full flight is about $900 in total). I assumed this was part of my refund and rang to ask where the rest of it was. They said they had no record of this deposit and that I had to email them proof showing my bank statement that this actually happened. So I did, and 4 days later $255 was debitted out of my account! I called them back to follow up on the matter. The guy on the phone apologised and said it was a staff member's mistake, and said that the full refund had already been deposited into my account. This was wrong, and I had to yet again send records of my bank statement showing that I had not received the full refund. Its been 5 months and I am still waiting, and now I am taking them to Court. Please whatever you do keep pursuing the matter as they are obviously doing this to many people - stealing people's money and not providing the service.

AirAsia charged for excess baggae unfairly

When i arrived at LCCT on the 4/5 i was charged RM 50 for exceeding limit by 1kg. I was okay with that. The lady at the counter told me that i can super size my luggage through online at Krabi for my trip back to Malaysia. At Krabi, i tried to purchase the online 15kg but couldn't. So i thought by checking in online through mobile i can select. I did not know that it checked me in without editing anything.

Then i tried with my friend's booking number. With mobile Air Asia also cant purchase. I lend the hotel's computer, i manage to edit the booking however it also charge me again for the flight return. Inst it suppose to know from the booking number that i have already purchased a ticket return. Air Asia wanted to charge me RM 300++ including super size baggage so of course i did not proceed the transaction.

When i arrived at the airport, i told the lady at the counter what happened. She said i should have called the hot line. I am in Krabi for goodness sake, telecommunication is a little short. Then she charged me 1060THAIBAHT for the luggage.

I key in the above booking no. ZY6HLH. I selected the supersize baggage 15kg – RM 35. Click proceed but the amount is not RM 35++ (convenience fee)

It is around RM 300+ inclusive of the flight ticket back. Of course I would not pay for the tickets as well. I already purchased the ticket.

My question is since I have already keyed in the booking num shouldn’t the system know that I have already purchased the departure ticket, why charge me again. Because I did not manage to supersize my baggage online, I was charged at the airport instead which cost much more.

Finally somebody from Airasia got back to me. Boy was she incompetent. For the 10th time i was telling her that i was charged as a normal transaction she kept asking me what is the error message.
Then later she said it is in thai baht. Come on use your common sense. 300 THAI BATH, do you actually think this is the baggage price inclusive of convenience fee.

Airasia is so ridiculous, as if i were to make up nonsensical story just for 1060BAHT. Technically they are trying to annoy me with repetitive questions so that i get fed up and let it go.

AirAsia frustration: the airasia booking legacy

"Buzz, buzz buzz... blah blah blah... but don't worry, all our systems working". So says Air Asia's website when they're swamped. Understandably, site traffic is increased during sale promotions, but after years in a business that capitalizes on DIY bookings, shouldn't the website be able to cope by now?

I have been booted out of the booking pages uncountable times now after spending hours trying to get flights on more than one occassion. As a member, I'm not even able to log in! The only times I seem to have no problems making a booking is when I'm buying FULL PRICE. I for one don't think all systems are working at Air Asia.

(A recent experience attached. Even when I click 'Continue' as I know from previously accessing the page on Step 3 that the default flight is the one I'm after, I get booted to the damn bee AGAIN, and have to try start from scratch AGAIN.)

AirAsia refund of booking fee

Subject: re: refund flight cancel rejected for pnr v9nr9d
Date: mon, 14 mar 2011 17:58:39 +0800

Dear sir,

No thank you for offering to re-book the flight to haikou.

After confirming with your office by phone on 7th mar 2011 that the flight ak62 & ak63 has been cancelled, we became worried that we may not be able to fly to haikou on that particular day and immediately book the flights from tiger airways knowing that it is very troublesome to fly from there. airasia did not even have the courtesy to inform when the flight was cancelled on the 7th. I found out from other passengers on that day.

Since I ve confirmed the flight through tiger airways, I was advised by your office to seek a refund via email and I immediately applied for the refund on that same day.

The email from airasia came on 9th and 10th march 2011 and confirmed that these 2 flights has been cancelled and I thought the issue has been closed. suddenly, I heard from friends again that airasia wanted to resume these flights. I was never informed officially till taday that these flights has been resumed.

However, this is useless news to me and the frustration came to a boil when after trying many times to get the phone line through, I was initially told that I cannot cancel these flights which was cancelled by airasia in the first place. I have no choice but to cancel these flights because I have booked and paid tiger airways much earlier (on 7th mar) before airasia resumed these flights.

After trying very hard and going through so much hassle, air asia verbally confirmed today that I can ask for refund but this refund must be placed in a shell account and it must be used with a 3 months expiry date. this sounds like daylight robbery when we are unable to get the refund for this problem created by airasia and again forced to travel to other destinations using airasia with unrealiable confirmation dates.

I am really very disappointed, frustrated and angry with the way airasia treat its customers and I will think twice before travelling with air asia again and will also advise others to not to fly with airasia anymore.

After may calls and explanations, air asia finally promised to refund in full the booking fee for flight ak62 & ak 63 cancelled by airasia, however, i've yet to receive the refund after more than one month of waiting. please let me know the status and when will the refund be made? the total amount is rm2, 037.00

Very frustrated customer and will never fly airasia again!

AirAsia safty of plane-customer service

The following was writtne 7 days after the incident and after several emails and a number of calls I have had no satisfaction or comment with regard to this incident. Probably not unusual for air asia as they believe in not answering any serious inquiries. Most asian passengers would not complain about this. I am not asain and feel I was treated very poorly under the circumstances and should have at least been called by someone to explain what happened on the flight no one did and I will never fly air asia again I believe it not a safe airline. Why are they hiding this is what happened.

On thu 24 sep 2009, 1525 hrs I took a flight from bangkok thailand to macau (Mfm).In large part the flight was uneventful landing at about
1855 local time. However developments on touchdown have not only created great fear within me but also concern on how your flight attendants and crew handled the situation.

First let me point out that I have flown well over 1 million kilometers in my life and was actually a traffic reporter flying a single engine cessna for a radio station when I was in my 20s so I have a little working knowledge of aircraft albeit not as much with large aircraft however enough to know if there is a problem when I see sparks and flames coming from a wing housing.
Having said that I experience what I would consider a major problem in your aircraft on touchdown and I have had trouble dealing with it ever since the incident occurred on the right hand side of the aircraft under the wing and ailerons about midsection on touchdown there was what I would describe as a major potentially devastating incident that occurred on your aircraft

A large stream of sparks started to fly from mid section of your aircraft on touchdown. Since my eyes focused on the sparks themselves and not the runway I was unable to tell if it was the bottom of the wing touching the runway or an electrical problem under the wing or both however within a few second the sparks turned to a huge plume of flames as the plane was speeding down the runway on touchdown. I am quite certain other passengers saw the same thing I did as my fiancé who was with me at the time confirmed she had witnessed but at the time was not aware it was a serious situation. Buy the time the flames from under the wing had subsided it looked like a light housing or other round object was now dangling from the wing on what looked like loose wires and had come partially unattached from the aircraft. By the time the aircraft had parked on the tarmac there where many ground personal that where aware of the general problem and had signaled there was a problem to other ground crew by pointing to the dangling piece of aircraft with their fingers. Although at that point no other passengers seemed to know there had been a fire under the wing or thought it was the afterburners in the jets (Which it was not)

The plum of fire was not visible by the time we taxied to a complete stop however the emotional anxiety I was feeling at the time was and still is fierce. I had to resist the feeling of fleeing the aircraft
For the safety of everyone concerned since I have had pilot training
One thing I was aware of is not to do something to panic the other passengers however once there is a fire in or on a plane the cabin crew should have started emergency evacuation of the aircraft rather than allow it taxiing off the runway to the tarmac. At this point I am aware that the captain of the aircraft was aware there was a problem however his lack of action and the lack of action by the cabin crew still create a chilling affect on me. To confirm what I had seen I asked my fiancé once we had come to a complete stop if she saw the fire. She confirmed that she did. I told her to wait as I wanted to make clear what I had seen to the captain. Since the fire seemed to be out by this point I waited for all the passengers to disembark and then went to a flight attendant in the front of the plane and told her I wanted to speak with the captain and there had been some sort of mechanical problem with the plane. I needed to let him know about my observation.
At that point she notified the captain. The captain exited the cockpit and I proceeded to explain to him exactly what I had witnessed he then said to me & ldquo;it was this side of the plain” gesturing to the right hand side I said yes. He then said thanks and proceeded to use his cell phone to make a call I assume it was to someone on the ground with air asia but that is an assumption on my part I then exited the plane and joined my fiancé who was already far away from the plane as I told her to go

I have a few questions I need answered. The first is why air asia’s cabin crew did not do anything. The second question is why the captain and co-pilot did not inform the cabin crew there was a problem and why there was not an evacuation of the aircraft rather than business as usual. And of course what actions where taken after the plane was on the ground to fix whatever started the sparking and fire to begin with.
This was the content of the email I sent to customer care and got no response I sent it 3 times
So now I will take legal action

AirAsia flight change that has inconvenienced me

Worst customer service! Please read my email trail below! Air asia is a waste of money, I fly out this friday and they delayed my flight and now I am very upset..

hi,

Thankyou for a reply. I do not think this explanation is acceptable because I called air asia on friday 29/05 and was advised there were seats availabe for the 1:20pm flight and that I could change my flight for free because you guys have inconvenienced me. I booked my mother for the same flight on may 04 and because airasia have changed the flight times on us she was advised she could change her flight and has already done so. No charge. I have an event on friday may 06 to go to in bali, and I booked the 6pm flight so I could get there in time, and now that you have changed the flight to 8pm I will miss my event, I cant miss this event so it is airasias responsibility to make me happy as I do not feel like a valued customer. This earlier flight change to 1:20pm will not inconvenience anyone as I have already paid for my accomodation for may 6, I will just be arriving a bit earlier. I dont even have transfers that need to be edited.

When I originally booked my package deal I had no idea that airasiago wasnt airasia. I dont care if I booked with 'airasiago' or 'airasia' its the same airline and this experience has made me extremely upset as I feel that the terms and conditions should be the same for both sub companies.

I would like to see this email go to higher management as I will not take no as an answer.

Thankyou again,
Janelle

AirAsia ticket cancellation and refunds

Dear Sir,
I had cancelled my tickets with booking nos. 1) X2LEJL 2) P83M6G and 3) JDNV6R at Air Asia counter at KL airport on the 9th Jan 2011 and post that followed up with your customer service agent.

I had my holidays booked for 2 week between 2nd Jan to 14th jan and had cofirmed bookings with your airline to fly three of us between Bagalore - KL ( round trip) Singapore - Phuket ( one way ) Phuket - Bangkok ( one way) and Bangkok KL ( oneway). Due to an emergency ( My father got hospitalized and admitted in ICU ) I had to cut short the trip and return home from singapore on the 9th Jan.

I could reschedule the return trip tickets with paying the additional charges however had to purchase fresh tickets between singapore - KL as my flight back home ( bangalore ) was from KL.

On the 9th after reaching the KL airport we met your officials and requested for a cancellations & refund request on 3 tickets which they noted on their system and promised, someone would get in touch via e-mail or call us. Even after a month no one contacted us and hence I reached out to ur customer service unit where I spoke to Mr Khan on this. After following up with him for almost 15 days, he said that the amount can be credited to my account and I can use this to do further travel bookings in the next 3 months. I have been requesting him to refund the amount since I will not be able to travel anywhere due to the situation at my end (My father passed away and in this situation I will not be able to travel anywhere).

I'm writing this e-mail, to consider my request on humanitarian ground and pls process the same and reverse the amounts on my Credit card.

I'm unable to load the doctor's certificate (since it'sin pdf format) for your perusal and consideration. I can mail them across to you if you can provide me with an email address

Looking forward to an early response.

AirAsia suspense flight but no inform

I am very sad, booking flight ticket a year ago, and today just get to know through a friend that "airasia suspense penang-macau flight ". As I saw on the aa website that my booking confirmed, I didn't see the airasia small notice at bottom! !

31th march have to fly but nobody from aa told us. No phone, no e-mail until today! ! Use premier line to phone aa and get charge rm150-160, get a stupid answer! Ask me refer website, link, notice, we can't do anything! Do you still believe aa? ? Disappointed! !!

The option given is reschedule and top up or refund. Wait for one year and ask for refund, that is not good idea. Reschedule but need to top up rm600 per person, is it good option too. What can we do? Please help

The most important thing is they not going to solve the problems but phone or thru website online chat. They may ask you go to AA counter, and we did. Lastly what we get is top up RM3000++ for 3 person else refund. How about the hotel fees that had been book and china visa? are they going to pay as well?

Hi All Complainants to AirAsia,
I have read most of your complaints and I would very much beg to differ.
I, too was very apprehensive when I asked for a refund for my late brother in law who passed away due to a heart attack.
But to my surprise, when I logged into http://www.airasia.com/ask/
my enquiries were handled very professionally by Kogilajothie
and I received a very prompt reply that my refund was under process and to check my credit card statement next month.
To this, allow me to toast with AirAsia and all Datuk Seri Tony Fernandes staff to a job, well done ! Please keep it up.
We will continue to support & fly with you.

AirAsia hopeless call centre

Hi, i would really like to know why the service offered by the call center for air asia is soo bad. I havebeen trying to contact air asia for the last 5 days and funnily enough i can never get through. I need to change the date of my flight and with every day that passes it gets harder to do so. I need the service now.

Im in india and i have also been trying to contact the air asia office in bangalore. I managed to get through the first time however after that nobody has picked up the phone. At first i thought it might be due to lunch hours or some similar excuse. However i have now tried calling every hour. May you kindly inform me why nobody can take my call. Is it just me or do they simply never pick up the phone.

As a customer you would expect to have a satisfactory service. I would like to know how i can go about this as it leaves me feeling very helpless and irritated. This does not encourage me to use the services again. I look forward to your reply and would like to have problem dealt with.

Thousands of Ringgit spent every month for the call centre. It seems like they are not doing their job ! ANY complaints, email

tony@tonyfernandesblog.com
bolingam@airasia.com

Airasia doesn't know what is happening at the call centre and email department which is handled by third party company.

AUS, Thai, India, SINGAPORE and all call centres are operated by them...!

AirAsia knowledge less boarding officers

Hi

I would like to give feed back for your duty officer at singapore on 1st march 2011 @ 4 for singapore airport terminal 1.

I was travelling through air asia with booking code yccd4k for jkt – sin – jkt.

Jkt – sin —  dated 27th february 2011.
Sin – jkt - dated 1st march 2011. Flight timings 17.45 from singapore and arrival 18.15 to jakarta.

Now let me explain what happen when I was boarding the flight.
1) your knowledge less boarding officer do not allow me to board the flight because of lack of knowledge (Stupid) of immigration at arraival destination at jakarta.
2) I am almost 60 years + in age and I am heart patient even though your care less duty officer without any specific reason did not allow me to board the flight.
3) your stupid officer told me to provide the return ticket from jakarta to singapore for showing to immigration at jakarta I was having the ticket for dated 2nd appril for the same even though your officer don’t allow to me board the flight as the ticket was more than 30 days.
4) your stupid officer does not ready to listen anything for the actual or reality of my health and my passport details. As per new regulation the visa on arraival can be extended at jakarta only and no need to exit from jakarta and my pass port caring the same details also as I have come to jakarta on visa on arrival on 12th december 2010 and gone out of jakarta on 4th feb 2011. So your stupid officer who is knowledge less and care less is wrong on argument for the immigration point.
5) my return ticket from jakarta to my onward journey is through singapore airline and I have one year open ticket if I have got the problem at immigration jakarta I would have change the date at indonesia port which I can do it easily through phone and internet.
6) your third class rather category less boarding officer did not allow me to board the flight from singapore to jakarta flight no: qz 7788 dated 1st march 2011 due to above non explanatory reasons.
7) I had asked the officer to provide the reason in writing unfortunately they dint provide that also (may be they don’t know how to read and write illlitrate).
8) however I have experience of frequently visit to jakarta and I know better regulations then you’re stupid/careless/illitreate officer but due to non support even I have age more then 61 years.
9) I have asked them to show such regulation in writing and they were not able to provide the same too because there is not such regulations too.
10) they said they have been penalized sgd 5000 to sgd 10000 by immigration jakarta due to such mistakes of air line. I was ready to sign the legal paper on stamp paper or bond for my case I will be responsible but again your stupid/careless/illitrate officer do not understand as usual.

I strongly need the following other wise I will go legal against your airline and will publically provide the above details publically.

1) does air line is related to immigration? If yes why all the contry have different immigration and airline.
2) I can provide all the above proof of my passport to prove my points. If needed!
3) I need the scan copy of such regualation of airline which was followed by your stupid/illitrate duty officer.
4) lastly I need to claim you damages which is almost 15000 usd because of your such regidity my heart conditions gone worst and I had to under gone to doctor supervision and I had to consult my doctor and I am diabitic patient also I had consult that doctor also and I have blood pressure too so I consult all the doctors on urgent basis and have paid above amount. I have to higher immediate consultant also to help me out for the situation which was also charged for 10000 usd per hour I can provide all this bills.

Urgently revert on this matter and let me know how I can proceed for financial loss to me due to your stupid/careless/illitrate and rigid duty officer?
