KUCHING: To welcome the Year of the Rooster, AirAsia Bhd (AirAsia) launched its #AyamComing campaign yesterday where a series of special offers will be featured including all-in-fares from as low as RM29 one-way for immediate travel, festive inflight meals at RM10, a 38 per cent online pre-book discount on all BIG Duty Free items and many more offers.
In conjunction to its Chinese New Year (CNY) promotion, AirAsia has also added 84 additional domestic and international flights during the CNY week in anticipation of the strong travel demand during the festive period and school holidays.
“Chinese New Year is always one of the busiest periods for us as our guests travel back home to celebrate the festivity or take the long weekend to go on a short getaway. Other than adding more flights to meet demand, we want our guests to enjoy the exceptional connectivity of our flights,” explained Spencer Lee, AirAsia’s head of Commercial.
“Together with our long-haul affiliate AirAsia X Bhd (AAX), we have launched 12 routes in just last year alone, out of which 9 are unique routes exclusively operated by AirAsia and AAX. We hope that our guests will grab the low fares and make good use of these special festive offers for a great celebration,” Lee added.
AAX’s award winning ‘Premium Flatbed’ is also included in this round of promo with all-infares starting from RM799 one way. These special low fares are available for booking at airasia.com or AirAisa’s mobile app on iOS and Android devices from now until January 22; guests will be able to depart immediately for travel until July 31.
For a fulfilling onboard dining experience, the airline groups’ inflight gourmet menu SANTAN has introduced its all-new Nyonya Prawn Curry with Rice for AirAsia flights (Flight Code AK) and Sweet & Sour Chicken Meatballs with Garlic Rice for AAX flights (Flight Code D7).
The inflight meals will be available for online pre-booking at RM10 and RM15 respectively with complimentary water, coffee (for flights exceeding 90 minutes) or soft drinks.
