Pleasant airline over all. On time, efficient, nice staff and good food.

Not a good experience. They did not have the food I ordered in advance. The crew is not offer a second snack on a 5 hour flight. The WiFi was either not working or was very difficult to connect to.

Overall service is good, the only thing I would like airasia to improve is there seating. Their seat handles are broken as well as the back rest

Boarding with air asia is excellent via organized lines by zone except when there is only 1 gate agent and no scanner, only by tearing tickets??? Crazy

The flight was supposed to depart at 9:25. It departed at 9:00. Im glad we were early and did not miss it.

They wouldn't even allow us to bring water from the fountain on board the aircraft.

Too many flight delays. Airport terminal serving Boracay needs upgrades.

Our flight was canceled and then moved and delayed twice and we ended up leaving almost 11 hours after our schedule.

We had 3.15 min delay and disturbed over future connecting flight

Nothing really - no food crammed seats - felt squashed - no entertainment, not even a bottle of water - would never use again.
