Very strict with luggage weight. I got caught first time with them and got the same run around as LivinLOS, cash only no plastic. This was changing flights at Singapore with no stopover so it meant having to obtain local currency just to pay for excess baggage. I don't fly Air Asia now, not cause of the 15 kg rule but because they are always running late.
I have heard since that most budget carriers like Air Asia carry freight to offset costs and that is why they are so strict, each Kg of excess is one less Kg of money making freight.
Put in that light, I understand why they are so strict. Enjoy.
