Choose your seats on AirAsia

One gripe many people had with flying AirAsia was the rush for seats since it is free seating. However, Airasia has decided to do away with this hassle by introducing an option for you to choose your seats on your scheduled flight. (source)

So now when you book your flight, you can choose a seat from:-

  • Standard seat – RM5
  • Hot Seat – RM25

A hot seat gives you more leg room and is located towards the front and at the exits while the standard seats are normal seats. What I was more interested in was to see what would happen if I choose NOT to pick a seat.

Is this additional cost of RM5 incorporated automatically? What if I don’t care where I sit and don’t want to pay? How would I know which seats are taken?

Now, in addition to the insurance quote and baggage check in costs that you get included automatically most times when you book an Airasia flight (unless you are vigilant and opt out of the insurance scheme) it looks like seating might also be “pre-chosen” unless you opt out.

There are now even more reasons for me NOT to fly airasia anymore.
