Can I avoid the Air Asia processing fee by buying a ticket in person?
For buying a ticket online via most methods (incl debit MasterCard/Visa), Air Asia charges a processing fee of around US$5.
I'm looking at an itinerary with two legs that they won't sell as a single ticket, so I'd have to pay the fee twice, adding around 10% to my ticket price; I'd like to avoid this if possible.
Can I avoid the Air Asia payment processing fee by buying my ticket in person, for example at Penang or Singapore airport?
Best Answer
Like you I had to book four air asia flights for the next part of our trip and had the same problem.
In the end I booked them through traveloka, they offer credit card payment without the extra fee. On one of the flights the actual cost of the flight was cheaper than when direct with air asia too.
Edit: In the end one of the flights was cheaper with expedia than traveloka. I guess you have to check each one individually.
