AirAsia offers more connectivity & convenience via enhanced Fly-Thru service between China & Indonesia
Fly-Thru eases flight connections with no transit visa requirement, baggage check-through and quick transit
AirAsia, the world’s best low cost airline continues to revolutionize air travel with more connecting destinations added to its Fly-Thru list. Fly-Thru is AirAsia’s innovative solution to flight connections which offers guests more convenience.
The Fly-Thru service was introduced by AirAsia last year with connecting flight options from selected destinations in the AirAsia route network which spans across 150 routes, 76 destinations and 22 countries.
Due to popular demand for Fly-Thru, AirAsia has decided to extend the service from Indonesian cities such as Jakarta, Bandung, Medan, and Surabaya direct to cities in China such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Macau and Hong Kong via AirAsia’s Kuala Lumpur hub (Low Cost Carrier Terminal).
Guests are also able to enjoy the Fly-Thru service from Chennai, India to Singapore with the Fly-Thru connection via Kuala Lumpur as well.
As part of the introduction of new connecting points for Fly-Thru, AirAsia is offering promotional all-in-fares starting from as low as RM379 inclusive of Fly-Thru service. The destinations applicable for this promotion would be from Bandung, Jakarta, Medan and Surabaya to Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Macau and Hong Kong; and Chennai to Singapore (all via Kuala Lumpur as the connecting point).
This promotion is available exclusively on www.airasia.com and is available for booking from 9 – 29 April 2012 for the travel period from 1 June to 10 August 2012.
Apart from the promotional Fly-Thru fares, AirAsia is also offering all-in-fares from as low as RM59 one way to destinations in Indonesia such as Bali, Jakarta, Medan, Semarang and Surabaya.
Also on offer are various domestic and international flights, with all-in-fares from as low as RM49 one way, to exciting destinations such as Penang, Langkawi, Kota Kinabalu, Kuching, Singapore, Da Nang, Chiang Mai, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Kolkata, Chennai, Kochi and many more.
These ultra low fares are available from 9 – 15 April 2012 for the travel period from 1 June to 10 August 2012, also exclusive on www.airasia.com.
BIG Visa card users are in for a treat during both of these promotions. Users will receive 5x BIG points by entering their BIG shot ID when making their flight bookings.
The major convenience factor that Fly-Thru offers would be the ease of having their check-in baggage tagged to final destinations, which would mean guests no longer need to pick up their bags and check-in again to their onward destination. This ultimately saves time as guests can skip the immigration clearance process as well.
Guests who opt for the Fly-Thru service will also find a hassle-free experience as their flight bookings will be reflected in one simple flight itinerary and booking number instead of having separate ones for each destination. This would assist AirAsia guests to enjoy a smoother and faster check-in process, especially via Web Check-In. Guests will also be able to save cost on visa applications as the Fly-Thru service exempts our guests from transit visa.
Guests can also look forward to more destinations and connecting points for AirAsia’s Fly-Thru service in the coming months.
AirAsia has recently announced a string of price reductions to its pre-booked meals, check-in baggage and sports equipment fees, processing fees as well as the waiver of check-in counter fees for international bound guests from all stations and hubs throughout AirAsia’s route network. The move to reduce the prices and charges is part of AirAsia’s continuous effort to reduce travel costs for all guests.
AirAsia’s value-added services such as Hot Seats, Pick-A-Seat, AirAsia Insure, pre-booked meals and many more are available up to 48 hours before the guests’ scheduled flight. Guests are able to add in these services via ‘Manage My Booking’ at AirAsia’s website.
