Just make sure your reservation did not get through before you try again. You can check the status of your reservation on their web site (go to 'Bookings' then 'Manage My Booking' then 'Status Of Online Bookings'). You have to input your credit card number to check if there were any reservations with that card in the past few days.

Also make sure that your card does not get blocked. I have a BofA credit card and the first time I used it with Air Asia it got automatically blocked. I had to call the bank's prevention department to have it cleared.

Good luck.
Call your card company, it is usually the credit card that got you into trouble. I have capital one, but still every time it is refused and I have to call before trying again.

Does anyone konw if Air Asia shows real time status on their website? I tried to find them, but no where to be found.
