Today when I was doing online booking for my flight back to Sarawak on coming April, I found that Air Asia had introduced a new fee called Convenience Fee!
It was implemented since last November. OMG. I’d a feeling that lately Air Asia keep on introducing additional fee to their air ticket basic price and this is not so good for us.
The price for my ticket suppose to be RM 224.60 but the Convenience Fee cost me another RM 10.00
Convenience Fee....
And you must be wondering what the heck is this Convenience Fee (which is not so convenience to me)
Well, based on the explanation on the net, this fee is use to maintain the online payment system. WTH!
Why we have to bear the cost? What about you, do you think we should bear the cost?

By right, Merchants Have No Right to Impose Fees on Credit Cards Usage

agreed that it is not convenience at all..
it should be named something other than convenience such as special, extra etc
