Air Asia"convenience fee" hidden charge
至死方休
I just reserved a few Air Asia tickets today domestic Malaysia and domestic Thailand, and now Air Asia has a hidden charge that shows after you input your credit card number. They call it "convenience fee". It's 5 RM for each sector, or 53.5 bahts each sector. The charge won't show when you reserve and only show up after you purchase with your credit card.
This is not much money but definitely a hidden charge.

I checked the reason for this "convenience fee" charge is according to Air Asia reservation, any booking with credit card or debit card, this charge will be added.
This is something new, so be aware of such thing.
I got a portion of their official explanation for this new convenience fee:
AirAsia very recently imposed a convenience fee for online credit card payments. This fee is meant to recover costs in implementing, upgrading and maintaining our online payment systems. It subsidises but does not cover the full costs of the related systems.
It is also to enhance security features for credit card payments to give guests a comfortable and safe booking environment. The convenience fee is neither a surcharge for use of credit cards nor an administration fee.
In the past, we absorbed these costs. However, now that AirAsia is experiencing a rapidly growing number of online transactions, these costs have significantly increased.
This convenience fee is charged on a per way per guest basis because the costs of these systems are driven by the value of the transaction rather than by the number of transactions. As costs vary per country, the convenience fee also varies.
