AirAsia MOVE advises travelers to plan their Christmas holidays and upcoming vacations in advance

Amid the recent announcement of the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) about lower fuel surcharges in July, AirAsia MOVE advises travelers to plan their Christmas holidays and upcoming vacations in advance during this time. 

AirAsia MOVE, a one-stop-shop travel booking app, says the fuel reduction is a timely opportunity for vacationers to enjoy significant savings, especially for those traveling in groups or those who are planning multiple trips.

From level 6, CAB is lowering the fuel surcharge to level 5. This means that the fuel surcharge cost will go down by up to 800 pesos for international flights.

For domestic travel, fuel surcharge will go down for up to PHP542 on level 5 from PHP665 on level 6. 

This reduction, effective from July 1 to 31, 2024 provides a timely opportunity for holiday travelers to take advantage of lower fares for peak seasons as it applies to AirAsia and all other flights from 700 airlines on the AirAsia MOVE app.

Weng Rivera, AirAsia MOVE Philippines Head of Travel said: “We are thrilled with the government’s decision to lower fuel surcharges as it aligns perfectly with our commitment to provide affordable travel options for everyone. We encourage everyone to book early and take advantage of the reduced costs, so they can use their savings from this on other travel expenses or however they wish to use it.”

To make flight purchases even more affordable, AirAsia MOVE is offering discounts on top of the already low fares for all airlines available on the app.

Apart from flight discounts, AirAsia MOVE is also offering exciting discounts on hotel bookings.

Travel Hack from AirAsia MOVE

For travelers looking for affordable getaways on top of low fares and discounts, AirAsia MOVE recommends booking domestic flights for September to October travels as these are non-peak seasons for air travel, so flights are cheaper compared to other months. Although not necessarily cheap, the ideal time to travel in Asian countries is during the latter half of the “Ber-months” as the weather is usually more favorable during this time.

AirAsia MOVE says booking early is the best way to score cheap flight deals as prices tend to go up as it closes in to the actual travel dates. Booking early also provides ample time to plan other aspects of the trip, such as accommodations, transportation, and activities.

AirAsia MOVE Drives Tourism with ASEAN Explorer Pass, Boosting Business and Economic Opportunities Across the Region

AirAsia MOVE (formerly known as AirAsia Superapp), a digital venture by Capital A Berhad continues to take large strides towards solidifying its position as an online travel agent (OTA) platform that champions and connects the ASEAN region.

 

On April 25, 2024, Capital A Executive Chairman, Tan Sri Tony Fernandes, together with AirAsia MOVE CEO, Nadia Omer, announced its collaboration with the ASEAN Business Advisory Council (ASEAN-BAC) to promote business and tourism opportunities within the ASEAN region through its flagship product, the Asean Explorer Pass. 

 

This Asean Explorer Pass initiative aims to simplify travel, and encourage the people of ASEAN to explore more destinations, know more about the rich culture and try new experiences across the ASEAN member states where AirAsia flies. This strategic initiative hopes to boost the region's tourism potential, foster deeper cultural exchanges, and contribute to economic growth.

It offers travelers a flexible and cost-effective way to explore multiple destinations within the ASEAN region through one platform, AirAsia MOVE. The pass is designed to encourage longer stays, multiple visits, and increased travel frequency.

 

The ASEAN Explorer Pass was officially launched by Dato Sri Tiong King Sing, Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture Malaysia, who is also the Chair of the ASEAN Tourism Ministers, Tan Sri Nazir Razak, Chairman of ASEAN-BAC Malaysia, Fernandes and Omer.

 

With the Asean Explorer Pass, subscribers will enjoy ZERO-base fares on international Asean flights provided by the AirAsia airline group, but also unlimited use of an exclusive promo code to provide up to 50% discounts on all hotel bookings throughout its inventory of over 900,000 hotels, as well as a AirAsia ride perks.

Tony Fernandes, CEO Capital A and Executive Chairman of MOVE Digital commented, “For over two decades, Capital A’s aviation business, AirAsia, spearheaded connectivity in ASEAN by enabling people from all walks of life, especially from secondary and tertiary cities across the region to have access to affordable flights. To extend that further, AirAsia MOVE as an OTA has the capabilities to champion the cause of connecting ASEAN by facilitating a seamless travel experience and empowering travelers with options that cater to their needs right at their fingertips. 

 

Today, we are proud to introduce the all-new ASEAN Explorer Pass, AirAsia MOVE’s signature product, which is truly designed to enable exploration of ASEAN destinations, especially hidden gems in all corners of ASEAN, beyond the popular destinations such as Bali, Bangkok, Phuket and the main Tier-1 cities. There will always be a seat somewhere in ASEAN for you, so go and explore with the ASEAN Explorer Pass. 

 

Data from previous travel passes sold by AirAsia MOVE in December 2022 clearly indicate that demand for travel within the ASEAN region is high, with over 80,000 international flights redeemed and flown in a year. As ASEAN continues to rise as a major hub for international trade & investment, enabling intra-ASEAN connectivity and accessibility to key travel necessities such as flights, hotels and rides are crucial. Capital A, through AirAsia MOVE, is proud to enable more to explore the diverse landscapes of ASEAN, and help people go all the way.” 

 

Tan Sri Nazir Razak, Chairman ASEAN-BAC Malaysia added, “On behalf of ASEAN-BAC, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to AirAsia and AirAsia MOVE for this remarkable achievement. The launch of this pass is a testament to our collective vision of a borderless ASEAN, where barriers give way to bridges, flights, and the celebration of diversity as our greatest strength. ASEAN has greeted 100 million international tourists in 2023, which is 70% of pre-pandemic levels, and we are confident such efforts by AirAsia MOVE will move the needle in further stimulating travel, and spurring the economy of ASEAN.”
