flying budget airlines

 

 

Now, as many of you know, there has been an influx of budget airlines in recent times. One of them is Air Asia, which we took from Bangkok to Krabi and back. With budget airlines, everything is BUDGET!!! Free seating, limited check-in baggage allowance, no free meals on board the aircraft, no aerobridge for boarding and unboarding, which brings me to the purpose of this blog post. Just before we boarded our Air Asia flight from Krabi to Bangkok, it started to rain very heavily. We were given umbrellas (which they had limited numbers and had to keep ferrying them back from the aeroplane from previous passengers) to walk to the aeroplane. By the time everyone made their way to the aeroplane, we were all soaking wet. The Air Asia ground staff did not have raincoats or umbrellas and they were soaked to the skin. This is the first time we have experienced something like this. IT WAS FUN (see the smiles on our faces)!!!
