Fly in AirAsia from Kuala Lumpur(KUL) to Tiruchirappalli(TRZ)

When AirAsia announced that they are going to introduce new flights to Tiruchirappalli or commonly known as Trichy in India, I was quite excited that I will be able to travel to India at more affordable rates. Within a few days of AirAsia launching their flight services to Trichy, I made 2 flight ticket booking for me and my mother. The price we got was really affordable, and it’s like 2 people travelling for the normal ticket price for one person. The only thing I was not too happy was the 15kg checked-in luggage limitation. Other normal flights usually allow checked-in luggage of up to 30kg. But since this is supposed to be a budget flight and the actual price that I paid is around half the normal flight, I have no complaints about the luggage weight limitation.

On the day of flight to Trichy, my mother and me took the AirAsia Skybus from KL Sentral to KLIA-LCCT airport. The bus ticket cost RM9 per person, for around 1 hour one-way journey. Since we were super early to the airport, we had to find a place to sit while waiting for flight counter to open 2 hours before flight. And that was kind of tough, when there were many people occupying a whole bench like their own single bed at home!

Plastic wrapping service at LCCT airport. It cost me RM8 to wrap my backpack luggage bag.

LCCT airport looks like it was turned from a warehouse into an airport but it serves the function.

AirAsia boarding pass looks like shopping receipt.
