Hong Kong & Macao, 31 August 2024 - AirAsia announced its signature FREE* Seats & BIG SALE campaign, offering an incredible 10 million guaranteed seats across its network, covering 130 destinations in Asia, Australia and beyond. Highlighting the fast-growing AirAsia route network, this campaign inspires affordable travel to undiscovered and favourite destinations inviting rediscovery, whilst enhancing connectivity across these regions. 

For travellers in Hong Kong and Macao, FREE* Seats will be available in the Hong Kong - Penang route, while the BIG SALE one-way base fares will be provided for all the others direct routes from as low as HKD43 / MOP92, including Kuala Lumpur, Kota Kinabalu (Sabah)**, Jakarta**, Bali (Denpasar)**, Bangkok and Manila. 

In addition, AirAsia will also hold a “Mystery Event” AirAsia flash mob throughout Hong Kong from 12:00 to 18:00 on September 1, showcasing cultural activities with spectacular surprises that await when you look up. 

The Bali and Jakarta routes will be introduced on October 1 and October 8, respectively, signifying AirAsia Indonesia's expansion into Asia. As the sole low-cost carrier offering direct flights from Hong Kong to the sought-after destinations of Bali (DPS) and Jakarta, AirAsia is excited to provide passengers with convenient and affordable travel options, eliminating the need for transits on these new routes. Both routes will be featured in this Big Sale campaign, enabling travelers to take advantage of the fantastic fares available for these new offerings.

For adventurers seeking experiences beyond Asia, AirAsia’s Big Sale offers incredible base fares from HKD429 / MOP369 one-way to exciting destinations. Immerse yourself in the natural wonders of Cairns, the diverse vibes of Perth, or the rich heritage of Iloilo. 

Paul Carroll, Chief Commercial Officer of AirAsia Aviation Group, said: "Our FREE* Seats campaign has been ramped up, offering 10 million guaranteed seats to 130 destinations. This campaign has been launched at a time when tourism in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region is showing remarkable recovery and growth. APAC destinations are trending significantly, comprising half of the top 10 hotspots demonstrating the greatest momentum among travellers, measured by the change in share of tourism transactions over the past year. 

“We see a growing trend of travellers opting for longer vacations, with an increase of two days on average per trip, and prioritising experiences over purchases. This aligns perfectly with AirAsia’s commitment to offer affordable fares, frequent flights, and a diverse range of choices. We aim to encourage travellers to seize the booming opportunities across the region, providing greater value and enhancing their travel experience.”

All flights on sale are available for booking until 8 September 2024 on AirAsia MOVE (formerly airasia Superapp) and airasia.com for the travel period from 17 February 2025 to 31 January 2026. AirAsia guests can also enjoy check-in baggage from HKD83*** / MOP 167***.
