Air Asia Website Online Check-In

I am sure by now everyone knows Air Asia. The no frills budget airline.

Am also quite sure that everyone knows they need to get in early to the airport before the boarding time to check-in and stuff. Not less are horror stories where people have to rush like hell only to find that the counter had closed.

Tonight, just now. Yours Truly tried the Air Asia Website Online Check-In for the first time. The website check-in allow you to check in and print out your boarding pass directly providing that you doesn't have check in luggage. Hand carry is ok.

This might seems like old news to those who knows already but it is a new experience for me. Yes, laugh away at my "kampung-ness". You evil evil person.
(Hey, like the saying goes: It's better to be a fool for 5 minutes than a fool forever)

Anyway, I am going to show you how the Air Asia Website Check-In functions.
(I am sure that there are bound to be someone who don't know)

REMEMBER that you can only check-in 12 hours prior and up to 2 hours before scheduled flight departure time and THAT the website online check-in is only available for Domestic flights departing from Kuala Lumpur, Kuching, Kota Kinabalu, Johor Bahru and Penang.

First of all, go to the Air Asia website. Choose your location and language and you will be directed to the main homepage.

Then go to the lower left section where you will see the self check in. Click on it and at the side you will see the red button with "Web check-in now". Click on that button.

Next, you will see the Web Check-In requirements. The most important thing is that your hand carry baggage must be small not the type which you use to put your 3 weeks clothes.
REMEMBER, for Website Online Check-In you cannot have check in luggage. You can only take a hand carry baggage/luggage.

Then, after you are sure that you meet the requirements, click the blue button labeled "continue" and you will see the following:

Make sure you read all that and click on "continue" to go to the next page and you will see the following:
