How Airasia Accomodated Change of Seat Request

Hi mommies and bffs!  What airfare company do you choose for your international or local flight?  Mommiesdayoff and Lakwatserang Payat here sharing ours!

Last July, my bff, Rhaine and I booked Air Asia for our Taiwan trip.  It was MNL - Taipei(Taoyuan) Flight Z2 124/ 7:45 AM to 10 AM - our first bff international trip together for our Lakwatserang Payat Travel & Tours.  We booked it as a PROMO fare.

Make sure your seat-belt is on

As you know with promo fare, food, seat allocation, baggage and insurance are things you choose not to include to keep the fare as is. We only added 20 kgs baggage going home since we anticipate additional baggages. We did not have the seat allocation going to Taipei.

Upon check-in of the baggage,  the Air Asia staff assigned us to a seat ALTERED to each other.  Lorena thought if we could change it just to be able to sit next to other.  Not necessarily the best row.  Thus, we tried our luck.  

HOW TO POSSIBLY REQUEST A CHANGE OF SEAT ALLOCATION 

1. We approached an Air Asia staff stationed by the entrance (not at the check-in bay).  Her name was Vicky.

2.  State your request politely.  Try this:

"We booked a promo fare.  We're just wondering if there's a way to change the seat allocation at least next to each other."

3.  Air Asia crew will check some things first.  Give it 5 minutes or so.

4.  If it allows, he/she MAY.  

5.  Adhere to the guidelines.

She said it would be in the emergency exits.  So she advised us in cases of emergency, we have to open the door and always be alert.  

Note:  This was our first-hand experience.  Request granted is under Air Asia discretion.  Not 100% guaranteed change.
