Manila, July 3, 2024 – With an expected influx of over 1 million travelers from today until December 2024, the World’s Best Low-Cost Airline shares tips on what to bring on board during your next flight. Essentials include a passport, boarding pass, visa, medical certificates, and other health documents, especially if traveling with a pregnant or medically ill loved one. Medical certificates have a 10-day validity period when they are issued, so please be sure to bring them for your next trip.
Keeping in mind that airlines, including AirAsia, reserve the right to refuse carriage to any passenger who has not complied with or whose documents do not appear to comply with such applicable laws, regulations, and requirements. Your carry-on should also include a small 7-kilogram bag that fits under the seat in front of you. This is where you’ll keep your in-flight entertainment and essentials such as electronics, gadgets, laptops, tablets, and mobile phones.
Worry not about your inflight food as Santan offers various halal certified rice meals, pasta, snacks, coffee and other beverages to keep your stomachs and hearts full. While packing, you might be tempted to bring a few extras “just in case.” Some certain items are a no-go such as sharp objects, flammable materials, and extensive electronic devices like hoverboards are strictly off-limits in your carry-on.
If any medical equipment on board such as a portable oxygen concentrator or any mobility device (including battery powered mobility device) is required during your trip, ensure it follows the allowable limit. Guests are also advised to inform AirAsia at least 48 hours before their departure to ensure adequate special assistance is provided.
Most leisure travels are made with a group of friends. While AirAsia encourages you to explore and have fun, alcoholic beverages are not permitted either check-in or hand carry unless purchased via duty-free shops, subject to varying airport regulations.
AirAsia Philippines Head for Communications & Public Affairs and First Officer Steve Dailisan underscores preparedness and proactiveness. “At AirAsia, we believe that nothing beats adequate preparation. These simple tips are often neglected but essential to one’s travels. We certainly want to take part in your memorable travels, but there are certain rules that we have to implement strictly, given safety. When in doubt, it always pays to check the terms and conditions of carriage or access the AskBo feature on the AirAsia MOVE app.”
To facilitate a smoother check-in flow, guests may now self-check-in 14 days ahead of their scheduled departure time via AirAsia MOVE app. This feature is designed for business travelers and those frequently on the go, maximizing time and overall airport experience.
