AirAsia Philippines is ready to accommodate over 300,000 passengers during the Christmas to New Year period from December 16, 2024, to January 6, 2025. With a load factor exceeding 80%, the World’s Best Low-Cost Airline anticipates a surge in bookings as Filipinos make last-minute plans. AirAsia has reactivated its “Always READY sa Pasko’t Bagong Taon” initiative and optimized staff working schedules to ensure smooth operations. Ground personnel are now on standby, and customer happiness desks are accessible at key hubs to assist guests with travel requirements and inquiries through the AirAsia MOVE app.

“We expect a significant surge in guest volume this week as many of our kababayans are making last-minute bookings on their holiday plans. While we recognize the excitement that comes with finalizing travel arrangements, we encourage our guests to book flights early as ticket fares increase closer to the travel date. This time is also a good opportunity to secure your return flights in advance for after the holidays as flights will fill up quickly after Christmas,” AirAsia Philippines Communications and Public Affairs Head, First Officer Steve Dailisan, shares.

Essential Travel Tips for a Stress-Free Journey:

  • Check-In Online: Save time by checking in online via the AirAsia Move app or the AirAsia website at airasia.com
