I have successfully used my 'regular' visa card with Air Asia, and also my American Express card. I am not sure if the booking troubles are directly linked to the type of card used. Whenever I run into these problems I just wait a few hours before I try and then it usually works, with the same card and without any calls to the bank.

I had similar problems with Jetstar Asia's web site.

Probably just some bugs. I noticed these problems occur often during special promotions when a lot of users may access these web sites.
