Singer songwriter John Will Sail out of Thailand reports $50 extortion by Air Asia staff. His explanation of what transpired can be read both below and in the video itself:

“So this is me trying to board the flight…after being told I would need to $50 to the cabin crew…then banned from the flight for taking the Air Asia staff members photo. Air Asia wouldn’t let me board at the gate with my guitar and asked for $50USD that I would pay on the plane. Same guitar case I have travelled on Air Asia with 5 or 6 times. I agreed to pay to get on the flight. I agreed to pay but surprisingly I was banned from flight. I was banned from flying on the flight I bought and shown back through immigration.”
