Air Asia's assigned seats. Good or bad move?

Do you still remember the days where all passengers queued up 45 minutes before boarding? Do you still remember how all the kiasus stood there just to get the best seats? You remember how many walk to the plane extremely fast? Well those no longer happen

Ever since Air Asia changed to assigned seats, I notice that planes often fly late because people take their own sweet time to board the plane. I saw that when I was boarding to Kuching and when I came back.

Last time, we seldom hear Air Asia announcing passengers names asking them to board the plane but recently, there are many people being called. What does this means? Guess it yourself lah.

Honestly why does these people have to do this? Don’t they know it’s inconvenient for others when they are lingering around? Why don’t they just be there on time? Its obvious that they are already there since we have to check in 45 minutes earlier.

If you don’t believe me, try seeing it yourself the next time you board the plane. You will notice what I saw.

Well this is also a good sign because now people don’t bang you on the gate anymore. People do line up a proper line nowadays. I think nowadays, it safer to walk because people don’t rush anymore.

So do you think it’s a good move to have assigned seats? For me I think its good since I often never been one of the kiasu (except that time when I need to send my wife back to kuching). Things will be better if passengers just have some sense of time and be at the boarding punctual.

If every passengers do their part, I am sure we will be able to fly on time.
