vacation postponed (so far)

by dalila on Feb.07, 2010, under Travel & Food

recently air asia announced that theyre pulling out of abu dhabi from february onwards. not sure what was the ‘real’ reason but we are affected by the exercise since we (me, hubby and parents) bought our tix already. we planned to go in late april. to be frank, i was not mad at all but in fact, relieved since i started to contemplating to go since weeks ago. haha. its a good thing though but pity those who have made ground arrangements.

i called air asia few days back. the first day i called they asked me to leave my name and cell no and they’d get back to me in 24 hours. so i waited for 36 hours and nobody called. i called them back and i insisted to talk to the operator. nak amik duit orang senang nak bagi balik bukan main lagi. i said what if i want to change the tix to other destination? the lady sounded like she has no time to arrange for that and she asked me to opt for refund instead. so i guess what the heck. just give me back my money and ill book for other tix later.

so now i have to wait for 2 months to get my money back. nasib baik la tak banyak sgt. but total 4 tix RM5k.and i asked my hubby where we wanna go this year. seriously i dont feel like going anywhere (yet) but PARIS!! ok boring la kan nak cerita pasal paris lagi. reason being? ari tu pegi tak puas jalan, banyak abis kat shopping! kalau pegi lagi sekali nak jalan2 je banyak. (ye ke? haha). and ada jugak rasa nak save money utk deposit beli rumah. tu lagi afdhal sebenarnya kan. tapi kaki gatal jugak nak jalan. cemanaaaaaaaa??

    Most recently, my wife and I were stranded in Abu Dhabi when AirAsiaX announced they were canceling service to/from Abu Dhabi in January this year. They didn’t notify us (their stranded passengers), until Feb 10th. Neither did they offer any accommodation nor answer our emails asking for help. We had to get back to Malaysia on our own. They won’t reimburse our additional expenses either.

    They said they would refund the Abu Dhabi/Kuala Lumpur portion of our trip, but it will take them 30-50 days to process the refund. Such an attitude!

    Watch out for these guys. If you are considering using AirAsiaX, It might be a good idea to develop a plan B… just in case.
