Troubles with Air Asia




We booked a flight ticket to Stansted dated 30/10/2011.. As usual we already make a travel plan and the connecting flight to Belfast and Edinburgh is already paid.

About a month ago, we feel disturbed with air asia announcement that they are no longer fly to stansted w.e.f  24/10/2011 – they have move to Gatwick. Personally I think the move to Gatwick is cool.. But for those who already make a travel plan (like me) – whom already book for connecting flights, hotel, car rent n even parking lots.. How? Will they be compensating for their loss?

I rage in AA facebook fan page n not only me k.. With a few <hundreds> I think..

I receive an email- a simple one- just a simple notification..

Dear Guest,

Please be informed that effective from 24th October 2011, AirAsia X will move our operations to Gatwick Airport, and we will no longer arrive into or depart from Stansted Airport.

Please be informed that we will be sending individual notifications to all guests affected by this move, based on your different flight dates, via email and SMS. 
The email notices will also outline the various service recovery options.

In order to avoid undue congestion and delays in replying to your queries, we request that you contact us for any queries you may have, only after you have received your individual notice.
 
Sincerely 
AirAsia X

So hubby makes a phone call to their freaking expensive care line

Hubby: I nak check status booking L******

Operator: oo.. flight ke Langkawi ye encik?

Hubby: No….I nak check my flight from stansted transferred to Gatwick..what happen?

Operator: kite takde flight ke Gatwick encik.. hanya ke stansted

Haishhh punye blur operator tu k.. Wasting our bills.. cess.. In d end his answer was.. We do not compensate our passengers as it’s already stated in our T&C blab la bla..

Okey.. This time AA really plucking on my nerves..

So a series of email with threaten to bring this matter to FOMCA, Tribunal for consumer claim.. And take legal actions against them was sent.

The next day they reply my email with apologize and they will make an arrangement with easyjet to change my arrival airport.

Finally we feel relieve when we have this answer from easyjet..


Dear Mr Osman,

I am writing with regard to your easyJet booking E****** connected to your AirAsia flight. Due to recent schedule changes introduced by AirAsia it might no longer be convenient for you to fly from/to Stansted with easyJet and we would like to offer you a free of charge change to London Gatwick as your new destination/arrival airport for your easyJet flight(s).

We have tried to contact you over the phone in order to arrange a free of charge transfer for you to fly to/from London Gatwick. Due to the fact that we were unable to reach you we would kindly request you to contact easyJet call centre in order to make necessary alterations to your booking.

Please contact us over the phone under the following number: +44 843 104 5454. Calls to this number will be charged at 5 pence per minute plus network rate.
Our contact centre agents are available daily from 08:00 to 20:00 hours (UK local time).
