A way to reprint Airasia boarding pass….

There is a time when we loss our boarding pass by accident , imaging we need to queue up to more then 20 person infront of only 1 helpdesk( Special thank to Airasia which make everyone can fly )..

assuming we already have our boarding pass printed , how to reprint ?

In Airasia portal , there will not straight forward way to reprint our boarding pass and if we can’t find it we have to call the premium helpdesk which charge us RM1.95 (below screen shoot) . I dont know why airasia want to do something like this .. Maybe they said already give you cheap air-fare..why still want to provide toll-free instead they want to charge us extra due to their shortcoming…. a shame for E2E Service Assurances…:(

 

so let save our blood earn money and do it ourself.

first , the booking id shall tag under your profile so that only you are allow to amend the booking id. If you did’t ever have a account with airasia , please start to create an account/profile with airasia.

second – if the booking was done by ipad/whatever app from android phone..the booking id was not link to your profile but you still can search and link it..

if the above 2 step was done , let’s login to airasia portal and manage your booking now and click my flights –> and manage my booking now.

 

A list of booking item will be display and now i wanted to reprint one of my booking is below. CLick View/Modify

Click Web Check in now (as below)

A page as below will display as the guest was already check in

 

So what to do ??? hhhhaaah,mmm…click cancel

 

Now you see it…a reprint button is there..so we just need to key in our booking number and subsequent prompt will follow with standard printing procedure…

Got it ?  :) enjoy

Skydrive space redue to 7GB , quickly act now before it was too late!!!(Apple/Android/etc smartphone)

 

There was alot of email about skydrive space reduce by microsoft in response to google drive or even dropbox and most of  the instruction in fact is for those people with PC on hand , but they forgot now day there was alot of people with Smartphone and the instruction was short of 1 screen (below was the screen capture i taken from my phone)

 

default we only can see the mobile version of skydrive by using our smartphone browser…:) , do click on PC site…then you will be able to see more option available as what we see from our laptop/PC.

 

Click on manage storage and there will be option available as below , since i already active it from my smartphone hence my option for 25GB is “disappear” …

I already got myself upgrade back to 25GB..imaging i need to put alot of effort in dropbox to get 25GB..:)   Watch up for Microsoft strike back …

Window of the world @shenzhen

Actually travel in shenzhen was really relax because their metro (LRT- Malaysia) is very convenience even with European can also understand where to go ..not like malaysia all too much focus on single language.

All picture was taken by using my iphone with my college together , on that time the temperature was at 29’c ( suddenly hike up from 19’c yesterday) .. it make sense also because the session is going to change to summer from spring..

We manage to cover the whole area at least but there was some activity which require additional $$ hence we did’t go for that … further because of our budget constraints (We are going there to work but not to play principal) , hence we need to rush back to take our train and bus transit… 

Enjoy the clip.

 

How to go there ? I got a short note on this , check it out.

By Subway:
Take Shenzhen Metro Line 1 and get off at Shijiezhichuang (Window of the World) station

Bye delivery , it was time for me to move to front seat to grab better picture on the whole services

 

This was my 1st post for year 2012 , i tender and leaving HP last year to pursuit something different which yr doing for 5 year plus.

Still remember when i start my 1st job in IT line , i was working in a division size and it grown up to a department within the same company for 5 year , and i straight jump to SI sector for 6 yr in financial sector.

From 1995 till 2011 , i learn alot of stuff and engage alot kind of people from Malaysians , European , US , Korea, China , Singapore , African .  From White , Yellow , Black Skin..:)

HP was a total different area of work which talk about service and delivery . Service is like when customer wanted HP to grab part of their business process such as BPO/ITO/DC/Network/Payroll and so on… it involve not only IT actually.

My new jobs was position as solution analyst , no more team lead/SPOC/ Programming /On call / Midnight call …  it was about design and document a solution which can be deploy and sales to our customer and the area was about Manage Services. Interest !!!! .

I will blog more about this area in future , do watch up my blog.
