On 6 October 2015, Air Asia send an email saying flight changed and given us an option to change flight. We were excited!


We choose Option 1 : we changed our flight schedule to earlier on 6 Nov, 2015. The following day we use the Air Asia Live Chat to request for change. Managed to get connected to Live Chat at 11:38AM. The customer service officer said he will refer our case to the "Pre-Flight Department". at 9:30PM we received a call from Air Asia customer service and in a quick time we got our flight changed. Even for Pen-Kul flight also changed for free.

Our new itinerary :


With that changed, we now have extra 3 days in Perth, without incur any extra cost to the air flight! This is so wonderful!
