I have no idea whose idea it was but when AirAsia implemented the free seating concept, I thought it was one of the worst decisions ever made. I have this thought hanging over my head that if I want to get a good seat (that’s window seat for me), I have to either fight for it or check in and stand at the gate 3 hours early. No option, of course.

So when I got an email from AirAsia about this Pick A Seat, I thought… finally! About time they implement this.

But when I got to the part about the charges, I thought… bloody hell!! They keep coming up with ways to bleed people dry. I mean, c’mon… Surely service like this can be made free? Malaysia Airlines does.

RM5 for a standard seat and RM25 for a hot seat are just too much. Especially when the seats are extremely uncomfortable.
