AirAsia system upgrade: Guests advised to self check-in up to 14 days ahead and arrive early for smoother travel

SEPANG, 25 July 2024 - AirAsia has announced an upgrade to its reservation and passenger-processing systems to further enhance the travel and booking experience for customers, scheduled from 05:00 pm (GMT+8) on 7 August 2024 to 03:00 am (GMT+8) on 8 August 2024. The airline advises all guests to take the following steps to ensure a smooth travel experience:

  1. Self Check-In 14 Days Ahead: All guests, including those with group bookings and connecting flights between 7 and 8 August 2024, are strongly encouraged to perform self check-in on the AirAsia MOVE app (formerly airasia Superapp) which is already available now or 14 days before their scheduled departure time

  2. Arrive Early: All guests, especially those with group bookings, reduced mobility, and special needs, are required to arrive at the airport at least three (3) hours ahead of their scheduled departure time to clear all travel formalities. Counter and kiosk check-in, as well as baggage drop services at all airports where AirAsia operates, will be impacted by the system upgrade.

  3. Use E-Boarding Pass: Download your e-Boarding Pass from the AirAsia MOVE app and save it on your digital wallet or mobile phone for a smoother boarding experience without needing to reprint it at the airport.

  4. Update Contact Details: Affected guests travelling during the upgrade timeframe will be notified via email and SMS text messaging. Ensure your contact details are up-to-date to receive the latest notifications about your AirAsia flight status.

AirAsia flight bookings, manage booking, check-in, Flight+Hotel booking, AirAsia Rewards points issuance and redemption, payment gateway for existing bookings, and ancillary purchases, including online duty-free, will be unavailable during this time.  

All other services on the AirAsia MOVE app (formerly known as the airasia Superapp) and airasia.com, such as non-AirAsia flight-related services, will not be affected.
