Thai Air Asia no longer has customer support that you can call and talk to. All support is done by chat bot or self help websites. This can be a major issue if you have a problem and it bit us so we can’t recommend nor will we book with them again unless as a last resort.

No way to talk to support. Is all online self help or chat bot. Now way to speak to a person and the automated options are useless.

Airline cancelled our flight purchased through kiwi.com 2 months before travel and to date has inly refunded half of our paid ticket price.

Crew was nice, boarding efficient. VERY cramped seating. I'm a 5 ' 10'' slim woman and my knees were up against the seat in front of me and my arms were against the arm rests. There are no services, not even water, and they only take local currency and I didn't yet have Thai baht ( flying from Indonesia and no rupiah left). I won't choose to fly with this line again.

Good, no mini-tv's, no food unless you pay, good overall experience.

ได้นั่งรถไปขึ้นเครื่อง แอบเสียใจอยู่ พอขึ้นไปถึง มีคนมานั่งในที่นั่งเราอีก ไม่รู้เจ้าหน้าที่บนเครื่องไปแนะนำผู้โดยสารท่านอื่นยังไง เขาเข้าใจผิดว่าที่นั่ง C คือข้างหน้าต่าง และเที่ยวบินนี้ ดีเลย์แล้วดีเลย์อีก จากทุ่มสองทุ่ม ดีเลย์ไปถึงห้าทุ่มกันเลยทีเดียว ถ้ามีไฟลท์ต่อกันนี่คงไม่รอดแน่นอน

CNX is a filthy, poorly kept airport. I have heard that Thailand plans to build another airport in San Kampaeng area, so perhaps they are just letting this one go. But it makes every airline look badly to offer their service in such a poorly organized "dump". Sorry to say this, but that's what it's like. At least the AirAsia flight which I took was on time! I appreciate that.

Air Asia will be my choice of airline when I fly to Asia every 6 to 8 weeks. Thank you for your good service.

I really like air Asia. The flights are running very professionally and both of my flights this last time got in early. Planes were clean. The staff was very professional and helpful. I understand they were supposed to be a budget airline but they don’t act like they’re a budget airline.

Delay of 3 hrs and they offered only Macdonalds pineapple pays. Not any good

The return flight was delayed for more than 4 hours. Luckily we were in the airport way in advance and managed to reach out to the Nok Air sales office to squeeze us into the earlier flight.

Lead flight attendant was rude and not helpful. Very unprofessional.

Purchased additional baggage and the flight was canceled due to covid. When they rebooked us they didn’t carry over the extra baggage. They wanted to charge 3x the original ticket price for “added” weight… 6000 bhat for an additional 15kilo (which would of been easily covered by what we originally booked) took nearly 2 hours to work out and they only let us check in minutes before our flight boarded. Very unhappy.

Cons: "I wasn't able to go on this flight, or on the trip at all due to the COVID-19 outbreak, and the airline has not responded to my request for a refund or credit yet."
Cons: "The charge for extra baggage was three times the cost of my ticket. Outrageous!"
Pros: "The flight itself was OK."
Cons: "I had to check a bag. My friend, who is Thai, Called the airline and was given the price of 450 baht to check a bag. I called about an hour after that to actually pay for checking a bag and they told me that it was 1225 baht ($41). The other person had made a mistake and that the price was 1225 if I want to ship my bag. When I asked them About the discrepancy in price, the man was rude and told me that The other person had made a mistake and that the price was 1225 if I want to ship my bag. I had to pay the high price because I had no other way to get my bag to Phuket. Afterwards someone I met told me that the price for the Westerners is always higher but three times the price is outrageous and I will never fly with that airline again."
Pros: "Cheap flight!"
Cons: "Damage to luggage and their compensation is a pittance. Took the legs off my suitcase and gave me USD $6. The flight was very uncomfortable as AC is not used until up in the air, so we boarded and sat in 25C+ until we were airborne."
Cons: "The speakers were too loud and the hostess can’t do anything about it."
Pros: "The seat was comfortable and easy to use."
Cons: "It was a very brief flight so it didn’t leave much for entertainment or food. The staff were a little abrupt, but mostly kind. For a couple of hours, it was okay!"
