Hi, Shooshy
Yes, AirAsia flights are Ok except for one minor incident where the plane ran overshot the runway in Kota Kinabalu recently and the front wheel broke down and not crash landing.
You can go to www.airasia.com for booking the air ticketless on-line.

We just came back from Asia and flew on AirAsia Maccau-Bangkok, we paid for 2 one way tkts total $120.
It's worth this money: flight was OK, no problems, on time departure and landing, the only thing - the chairs didn't recline, and you have to pay for any soft drink inluding bottled water, which were also very cheap like the flight itself.
We bought tickets directly from their website.
