Cons: "Need to cleanup the cabin."
Pros: "Overall price / value is very good"
Cons: "Leg room is very small"
Pros: "Crew was really nice"
Cons: "There wer plenty of empty seats and the other people sitting in my row wanted to move to open seats but weren’t allowed because the seats apparently cost more money than our seats. I think that’s a bit stingy of the airlines because no one is sitting there. Why not allow people to be comfortable?"
Pros: "No comment"
Cons: "Be punctual."
Cons: "Boarding pass and ticket did not specify terminal 2!!! Automatic check in not clear"
Pros: "Got an aisle seat and boarding was quick."
Cons: "Too long of a flight for no WiFi and no water."
Pros: "Cheap"
Cons: "Uncomfortable Won't give you a blanket or cup of eatery without making you pay Delayed"
Pros: "On time boarding. Crew was helpful with duty free shopping."
Cons: "Could not connect to Rokki WiFi."
Cons: "Luggage check-in weighs luggage 22 kilos more than its actual weight and I was asked to pay almost RM650 ~ ($170), when I was asked to recheck they had to pull my luggage back and that took almost 40 minutes to later know that they made a huge mistake! 20 minutes to the boarding time I got confirmation that my luggage weights are correct and given a boarding pass to gate P11. walked to gate P11 and saw no one there, and there were no signs of what was happening, I checked Kayak app then I noticed that they changed the gate to L10 which is a totally different building ( 16 minutes before gate closure ), I had to run the whole airport to go to gate L10. not to mention that flight was delayed by a good 1 hour!"
Pros: "Flight was good. Left a little late still arrived on time. I was traveling with one extra bag. 18 kilos. Cost at counter was $150.00. (Ouch) Anyway after paying the extra bag fee I went there office in the airport and purchased the same extra bag for my return flight for $28.00. Nice flight but make sure you purchase ample baggage when booking your flight."
Pros: "Inexpensive flight, attentive crew"
Cons: "Immigration offload for no reason then asked to rebook .."
Cons: "Never been on a flight before, where the pilot pushed back whilst people were still taking their seats. Not very safe!"
Pros: "Overall"

Cons: "I got what I paid for."
Pros: "The crew are friendly."
Cons: "Quite often arrived late, took too long for passengers to settle down."
Pros: "I feel confident with your aircraft and crew. Very professional"
Cons: "The chicken and rice was not the freshest and although the seats are comfortable they are very cramped for a big falang like me"
Cons: "In flight food is available for cash in Malasian ringgit only, which makes it unavailable for those international passengers leaving Malaysia who get rid of local currency on their way out of country"
Cons: "Delayed flight"
Pros: "Seat & food"
Cons: "None"

Pros: "Quick easy and simple. Staff were very friendly."
Pros: "The crew were very pleasant... they were efficient and organised, modern, smart and 'on it' when necessary. I didn't eat as flights were short... no entertainment although they do have Rokki wifi to watch stuff on phones and tablets... I didn't bother though. Boarding was slick... time lost due to late departure was largely recovered in flight... Aircraft was clean and comfortable. Will definitely use as my airline of choice when travelling in the area..."

Cons: "It was one hour late"
Pros: "Walking straight through security and into the plane.... (due to online check in and just bringing my carry on)"
Cons: "The 20 minute delay which they did not announce. I know it's delayed because I can see the pilots at the gate.."
Pros: "No frills."
Cons: "The crew didnt do much to enforce seat belt regulations. Half the passengers were up after landing with their bags in the aisle."

Cons: "Same comment as above"
Pros: "Punctuality."
Cons: "Rather uncomfortable seating - very little legroom, and seat angle promotes back pain."
Pros: "The crew"
Cons: "Seats are uncomfortable, no complimentary drinks or food."
Cons: "No drinking water!"
Pros: "I didn't like any thing"
Cons: "Free kg is 15 kg which isn't enough at all"
Cons: "was charged $72 at the airport to check my bag. I have not flown with Air Asia before and I did not know that I would not be able toa check my bag for free, let alone have to pay $72. I was disgusted. Air Asia should make their baggage fees more visible and honest so when a customer books a flight, they can take those fees in to consideration. Space inside the cabin is very limited. For tall people it is difficult to spread legs as the knees touch the seat in front. Luggage was missing when I arrived at my destination without any compensation to buy first necessity articles."
Pros: "Low price...friendly, courteous, helpful staff..."
Cons: "No free food or drink...not even water. Tightest seating I've ever experienced. No in flight entertainment. No alcohol available whatsoever. Chaotic boarding by passengers crawling all over one another reminds one of the clambering patrons at popular night markets. Considerable flutter and vibration in port side main flap. Excessive blow by of bleed air into cabin at start up (heavy jet fuel odor inside). Somewhat sketchy landing...but not too bad considering heavy crosswind combined with good old fashioned seat of the pants flying (no computer aided landing assists here). All in all a decent flight for around these parts I guess...I mean at least the thing wasn't brush painted with house paint...been there before."
Cons: "Curt treatment at check-in."
Cons: "Not enough room"
Cons: "Provide free water"
Pros: "We finally made it to destination"
Cons: "The flight was turned around halfway to destination due to technical problem. Understandable and acceptable. However very little assistance was given to us once back in KUL while waiting for new flight. Zero compensation given, not even a free soda on the new flight! Hey Air Asia, its called a voucher! Never did get the meals we had paid for in advance when booking. Will avoid this cheap skate airline in the future."
Pros: "Ok leg room for a regional Asia flight."
Cons: "FYI - Extra fees at the airport for food or luggage."
Pros: "Easy and simple....hope it will be like this in the future flights as well...."
Cons: "The cabin had an unpleasant smell"
