An early wake up at 6am saw us at KLIA2 in plenty of time for our 10.25am flight to Manila to start our Philippines adventures. A 30-minute delay is part and parcel of flying with Air Asia but we were soon on our way for the 3hr 40 min flight.

Most annoying though was that he did all this in front of all the other passengers and that Aida had already proved all the required evidence at the Philippines Embassy in KL (this was an annoying three visits as well).
