Air Asia
AK 709
Kuala Lumpur (KUL) - Singapore (SIN)
A320
9M-AFI
Budget Class

I had obtained my Air Asia ticket on 10 Oct for the promo price of only RM10 + RM25 taxes!! The taxi from the city to LCCT costs more than double my airfare! Also paid RM12 for a pre-booked meal and drink on the flight, just for the "thrill" of having a meal on such a short flight.

KL LCCT departure hall


Air Asia bag drop / document check counters. Most pax were encouraged to check-in online or using the self check-in machines.


I am quite sure Air Asia has much more flights than MH.


Air Asia A320 pushed back with KLIA main and satellite terminals in the background.


Air Asia X A330-300


Air Asia land!


The chaotic gate area with boarding announcements blaring every few minutes.


A few duty free shops available too.


FIDS of Air Asia's international departures. My flight was delayed for 20min due to late arrival of aircraft from Langkawi.


Gate T4


While proceeding to the aircraft, I spotted this A320 with a wheelchair symbol on its engine. Special livery for?


Under the dark clouds and drizzly weather.


9M-AFI that will fly me back to SIN


Boarding in rainy weather, budget style.


Going towards my seat at 16F.


On the ramp. Another special livery A320 beside.


Flight was probably 60-70% full. Leg room just sufficient for the short hop, but the plane was definitely not cleaned!! Trash from the previous occupant (or previous-previous?) were still in the seat pocket! And chewed gum was stuck onto the safety card!!


Mags in the seat pocket. The inflight magazine was not bad, i must say. (The safety card is from the next seat)


Tookoff almost an hour late.


Climbing to 27,000 feet.
