Dec 20th (Day1) …my flight ETD for KL was supposed to be 9.50pm however, was abruptly delayed to 10.50pm. When I reached the airport and check-in on time , a calm sweet female voice channeled through the PA system announcing that my flight has been further delayed to 12.50am. This is a reputable situation in Air Asia am I right or what?
Air “Slow”sia and the motto is “Now Everybody Can Fly Slow”.
In my mind , I was swearing ….but then again tried to keep myself calm and at the same time comforting my thoughts that it’s the start of my vacation so not to upset my mood. Many travelers had suffered the post traumatic stress when they encountered the “Air Asia Syndrome” which led to a lot of anxiety and anger including me.
Arrived in LCC terminal around 2am..first thing was to look for a WIFI area to kill my remainding time until my flight which leaves at 6.30am to Macao.
The best place was Coffee Bean …all the power point for my notebook to recharge was taken …F…K!!! So I proceeded to Mcdonald’s for my long awaited dinner cum supper.
They said WIFI was available….. (Bullshit!!) and furthermore the power point was not working at all.
After my meal , was trying to find a place to squat or sleep at least for an hour or two …believe me when I say if you wanna find a place to crush during this holiday season , its like finding a needle in a haystack!
Luck was on my side found a corner ..to lay down 4awhile but couldn’t sleep and so gave up walk to Coffee Bean and finally power point is available so sat for an hour ..good enough to recharge my notebook and IPod …..5.20am,Oops!!.... time to check-in.
This is my first international flight with Air Asia and much to my amazement ,checking-in was pretty easy except this following tips you got to know :-
Hand carry luggage should be not more than 7kg.
If exceed 7kg ,inorder to escape that fate ,remove several items into a plastic bag.
When comes to boarding , forget about your civic duties of queing , nobody gives a shit!!….walked as quickly as possible into the plane and try to get a good seat.
Before I board the plane , I got myself a bottle of JW Green Label (RM151.00) and a carton of Dunhill (RM45.00) to help enhanced my sidekicks when I get to Shenzhen……frankly to say, the liquers are expensive compare to Duty Free shops in East Malaysia.
On board now ,flight duration to Macao is 3hrs and 40mins and look out the window what a beautiful day !!!
And so my Christmas story begins here…………..
