What's red & white, and has wings?

A tomato being carried away by a white bird?

A devil disguising as an angel?

Air Asia :)

OK i know lame! But it got you guessing! Just so you know, I'm the Queen of Lame Jokes. Sigh!

Anyway, recently I flew on AirAsia for a family trip to Krabi, Thailand. I've taken discount airlines before and I'm a huge fan. I've taken many trips in the US via such medium (Southwest Airline is love!) because I used to visit my sister in San Francisco pretty often. Sometimes you can get a return ticket Orange County-SF for just about USD100. And various other trips for the same price, depending on your location.

America is the great land of choices, and I'm proud to say that Malaysia is fast becoming that as well. Competition encourages growth! I've never flown Firefly but it's good to know we have options other than MAS.

But with such growth, we should be prepared to accomodate needs and possibilities...For instance, my family and I arrived in KL(at the LCCT) from Krabi on Sunday July 1st to a massive influx of passengers. Lines everywhere and there were only...TWO autogates open. What the heck. Only after a good 20minutes after we stood in line, did an officer come to open the other autogate. And yet the line moved slowly. Isn't everybody's passports now equipped with the autogate chip? Shouldn't we have more autogates? Where's the logic and efficiency in this current system?

And when we finally got out of that, we weren't able to find luggage carts. We had to scour the entire baggage claim area to find just ONE. All the other passengers were in the same boat.

Do we blame the airline, or the airport management? In any case, this should be looked into. We wouldn't want any tourists visiting Malaysia to feel discouraged.

Negatives aside, in all other aspects I think Air Asia is doing a great job. Prompt service and surprisingly good in-flight food! I love the idea that "now everyone can fly" :) Traveling made easy.
