"Air Asia" Thailand Transportation Tip by GracesTrips

We booked our domestic travel with Air Asia. The online site was a little confusing to use - when I indicated I resided in the USA, I couldn't put in California for my state. I went ahead and included it in my street address entry. You need to provide your passport number and the number of checked luggage you will have. If you don't indicate this in advance, I believe it will cost you more at the time of check in. The prices of the flights are deceiving because the taxes and fees are not included. The price of the flight for the two of us was 3,168.00 (US$96) baht and by the time I was done, the total was 7,222.00 baht (US$212). I opted the purchase for travel insurance because it was really not very much and covers cancellations, lost luggage, etc. About US$6 per person.

Some airlines have very strict luggage requirements. On Air Asia your checked bag has a weight limit of not very much. I had to pay an additional 940 baht or about US$28 for the additional weight. I think my bag weighed in at 50 lbs. The dimensions can't be any larger than 31.8"X46.8"x46.8" but I don't think they enforce this. Your carry on no more than 15.4 pounds and have dimensions of 22"X14"x9".

Air Asia operates from the Suvarnabhumi International Airport. Check in requirement is 1 hour before your flight. The flight from Bangkok to Krabi and the return, both legs were running late by about 30 minutes.
