That was a poorly worded caption by the Nation. Surely it should have been "Air Asia Rolls out the red carpet", rather than " ...... rolls up the red carpet". To say "rolls up" sounds like they are rolling it up and removing it.

Have to admit that I was expecting to read that AA were now making the use of a carpet an "add on" to their advertised price, along with food/seats/air masks/toilets/pilot etc etc

300 ringgit extra per square metre

Gosh,I was hoping to enjoy champagne in the Air Asia Lounge in Udon later this month but it appears this service is at an extra cost

"Passengers get to walk the red carpet to a so-called “exclusive check-in counter, enjoy pre-flight food and beverages at a lounge, priority boarding and baggage claim.
The price tag starts at THB800 for domestic flights and THB1,000 for international and Fly-Thru flights.
The service is available in Bangkok, Phuket, Chiang Mai and Udon Thani airports."

Will the Air Asia Lounge at Udon Thani airport look any thing like this ?

Agree. I thought they were shutting it down.

Once a few people have tripped over it and threatened to sue them, I suspect they'll quietly remove it!
