Since Air Asia has joined, it has been a great boon for those of us who love to travel freely in Thailand. The previous article introduced "Free travel in Thailand│ How to book Air Asia tickets. (2011.9.20 update)"I hope to teach you how to easily buy tickets on the Internet and arrange a money-saving and fun vacation for yourself. Now I am sharing some experiences and precautions from boarding to arrival, so as to avoid repeating our mistakes (T___T ), Here we go!
AirAsia is in the second terminal of Taoyuan, and because there is no sign at the entrance, the car rental company that sent us to the airport didn't know where to drop us off. In fact, it was at counter 8 on the right hand side of the entrance, and you could see the red one. AirAsia's humanoid stand.
In Taiwan, AirAsia commissioned EVA Air to do the check-in service. When checking in, you only need to show your "passport" and "reservation code" to receive your boarding pass.However, the check-in procedures start two hours before, and there is no way to allow passengers to check in early, so check the time!
Ready to leave for Bangkok! gogogo～
Our departure time is 10pm. AirAsia’s seats are paid optional seats, and the rest are determined by the ground staff. Most paid seats are before XNUMX rows. You can get on and off the plane first, but the seat size is the same "crowded" .
The meal is small. If you want to add more meals, like instant noodles, it costs 70 baht (THB), and a bottle of mineral water is 40 baht (THB) (about 150ml). I personally think it is very expensive, so I’m on the first Burger King dining in the second terminal (Burger King is already equivalent to the code name for going abroad. You must eat it every time you go abroad...). Of course, airplane meals will not be delicious. It is strongly recommended that the flight is only 3.5 hours. Save this money for shopping and fun. it is good!
In addition, AirAsia has a lot of flights and destinations in Thailand, and it is very convenient to travel to other tourist cities in Bangkok, such as Phuket, Hua Hin, Chiang Mai, etc. This part of the ticket is also booked on their website.Remember, early bookings offer even greater discounts!
Because of the heat and dryness, there will be water mist on the plane to cool passengers off.
You can use AirAsia to arrange a trip to Thailand!
The big red airplane is very beautiful, and we also bought a model airplane to commemorate it. ^^
Everyone is more worried about losing your luggage when you go abroad, plus the loss of your luggage... the maximum amount you can get is only 20,000 yuan, so you should take your valuables with you!
After arriving in Bangkok, you can check which baggage carousel your baggage will be on on the Baggage Claim signboard. Take ours as an example, it has "flight arrival time", "which airline", "flight code", and "departure place". , "Luggage out time", the last number is the number of baggage carousels to pick up the baggage.
And because we sillyly regarded "Thailand visa-free fee" as "Thailand visa-free", we hurried to apply for the visa on arrival, and it took nearly an hour to collect the luggage. It was still OK~ I want to travel abroad freely, I feel Just relax, of course, there are too many unexpected places in the journey (our trips are countless...), but in AirAsia’s experience, whether it is taking an international flight (Bangkok-Taipei round trip), (Bangkok-Chiang Mai) Back and forth), I have not encountered the big situation of "low-cost airlines easy to delay time" mentioned by other travellers. I think I will recommend it to everyone with confidence, and I will also consider taking their flight to my favorite travel in the future. City-Bangkok.
Bangkok Airport was the largest airport in Southeast Asia (now Beijing Airport), and the distribution of various information and service desks is very clear.
On the return journey, when arriving at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, AirAsia’s counter is on the left side of the entrance (numbers D and E are the same). There are 150 seats for a flight, and there will be long queues. , If you have to go to handle tax refund matters, it will really be in a hurry!It is recommended that you arrive three hours early on your return journey so that you don’t miss the plane...you will really cry without tears.
For domestic or international flights in Bangkok, the boarding pass is always thermal paper, which will indicate the boarding gate, time and seat, ready to go home!
☆ Be careful
1. Not suitable for shopaholics to fly AirAsia:
Because each passenger on AirAsia is limited to one piece of luggage, and the luggage will be charged according to the weight, this weight needs to be booked at the time of booking, and the on-site extra charge is super expensive!In addition, the hand luggage is limited to 7Kg. We bought too many souvenirs on the return trip. An extra bag weighs 10Kg. This bag will be charged at 1,400 baht (THB), which is equivalent to a seat fee. It is a bit dumbfounded on the spot. The ground crew recommends We can split the contents into two bags and board the plane. Compared with other airlines, the weight limit for luggage is not so strict (of course, the ticket cost already includes the luggage cost...).
2. Bringing the family and the family will be very hard:
Especially for children who want them to stay on the plane for 3 or 4 hours, it’s really harder than going to the sky. Parents with children should consider whether to take the flight. Other airlines will try their best to arrange in the first row, but AirAsia The seats are really small.We have two children (6 years old, 1 year old) on this trip. The 6-year-old Guagua has been on a lot of journeys with us, so she will be obediently waiting to arrive at the destination. And the 1-year-old Doudoumei, mother also Will be coaxed to sleep before boarding.When we returned, parents were unable to make the children cry. Later, they had to go down to play, and then they had to be hugged by adults... which caused a lot of dizziness. (Although we all know the children~ but we still feel tired and endure crying. ).
