Air Asia are an internet based airline serving destinations all over South East Asia. They often have offers on their flights and their tickets are generally very fairly priced. I used them to fly from Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) to Bangkok.

I booked my ticket on their website. It is very easy to navigate and when booking you are given the option to add a meal on for the trip, or have heavier luggage, which is what I did as after 6 weeks travelling I knew I would have over 15 kilos of luggage with me!

I didn't have any problems checking in. Staff were friendly and efficient.

On the plane, I would have liked a bit more room. I was sat next to one of those arm-rest hoggers, so was a bit squidged up against the window, but as the flight was only around 30mins-1hr it wasn't too bad!

Food-wise I actually paid for "Nasi Lemak" when I was booking my flight. I wasn't particularly impressed, as it didn't include a drink, it wasn't particularly filling, and it just wasn't anything special. I guess it was just typical aeroplane food, but seeing as I had paid a bit extra I would have liked them to make slightly more effort with it!

There wasn't any entertainment on my flight, so I can't comment on it, but as I said, my flight was extremely short so it didn't matter. There was a magazine available to read though.

Overall my experience of Air Asia was positive, and I would definitely recommend them if you are looking for a quicker way to travel around SE Asia!
