AirAsia FAQs – Flight Disruption
If I miss an onward flight because of an AirAsia flight delay, will I receive a complimentary seat or obtain a refund?
If you fail to check-in on time or board the aircraft by the boarding time, the fare you paid is not refundable. You will have to make another booking on the next available flight.
In the event of a flight cancellation, airport closure or any other unforeseen circumstances that hampers AirAsia’s ability to provide you with your confirmed flight connection, you will receive a refund in the form of credit shell.
If you are eligible for Credit Shell, you will be notified of this by AirAsia’s personnel.

Can I cancel my booking and get a refund?

Under such circumstances, AirAsia will allow you to cancel your flight.
AirAsia will place the value of the fare you paid in a credit account for your future travel which must be utilized within three (3) months from the date of issue.
However, AirAsia will require a copy of your doctor’s letter for documentation purposes. Please contact AirAsia’s Call Centre for assistance.
What is the validity of my Credit Shell?
You will be notified of the validity of the Credit Shell via email.
