Travel at ease with the AirAsia Asean Pass
Bangkok, Thailand: AirAsia, the leading and largest low-cost carrier in Asia, has introduced the “AirAsia Asean Pass” and the “AirAsia Asean Pass+” to boost travel by making flights within the region a seamless experience.
The launch of the new product took place here on Monday, attended by the founders and Chief Executive Officers of AirAsia along with media from Asean countries.
The passes are available from today at www.airasia.com, with the AirAsia Asean Pass retailing at more than 1.2 million kip (US$160) for 10 credits and AirAsia Asean Pass+ for 2.3 million kip (US$290) with 20 credits.
The development of this product was announced by the co-founders of AirAsia, Tan Sri Tony Fernandes and Datuk Kamarudin Meranun, at the Asean Business Advisory Council Malaysia Conference held in Kuala Lumpur in November last year.
Speaking at the event, AirAsia Group CEO Tony Fernandes said “As a truly Asean airline, we are extremely proud to introduce the AirAsia Asean Pass, which is a product specifically designed to further liberalise and encourage travel among the Asean community. The pass allows us to bridge communities and attract more foreign tourists to the region - it's the perfect instrument to promote Asean integration.”
“We are constantly enhancing the way guests fly with us and the AirAsia Asean Pass is another innovation that we have put in place to make flying more efficient and enjoyable. We are working on additional enhancements that will further benefit guests travelling from non-Asean destinations.”
According to a press release from AirAsia, holders of the AirAsia Asean Pass and the AirAsia Asean Pass+ can enjoy flights at a fixed-rate to over 148 routes across all 10 Asean countries. Acting like a single currency, it diminishes the hassle of different foreign exchange rates as flights are valued according to credits, allowing guests to be creative in planning their ideal trip through Asean.
Flights with a duration of less than two hours are valued at 1 credit, while flights of two hours and above are valued at 3 credits. No processing fee applies for flight redemptions using the AirAsia Asean Pass and Asean Pass+. Airport charges/tax and other fees will be payable separately. The pass can also be purchased as a gift for another traveller.
The press stated that the AirAsia Asean Pass and Asean Pass+ credits are redeemable for travel with AirAsia Malaysia (AK), Thai AirAsia (FD), AirAsia Indonesia (QZ) and Philippines AirAsia (Z2) to Asean destinations only.
For a detailed list of flights redeemable with the AirAsia Asean Pass and Asean Pass+ and other applicable terms and conditions, guests may refer to the airline's website at www.airasia.com.
AirAsia, the leading and largest low-cost carrier in Asia, services the most extensive network with over 90 destinations. Within 13 years of operations, AirAsia has carried over 250 million guests and grown its fleet from just two aircraft to over 180.
