Bangkok--24 Feb--AirAsia
As part of AirAsia’s commitment to make travelling more affordable for its guests, the world’s best low cost airline has revised its check-in baggage fees as well as its pre-booked meal prices effective 22 February 2012.
AirAsia has reduced the prices of the 15kg and 20kg baggage tiers. Both AirAsia and AirAsia X are also introducing new options of 35kg and 40kg baggage tiers based on popular demand.
The new check-in baggage fees will enable guests to save up to 48% when bookings are done online as compared to purchasing it at the airport counters.
On top of that, sports enthusiasts can also rejoice with the reduction of the current sports equipment fees. The new sports equipment fees are now the same price as the check-in baggage tiers available online, with only an additional 220THB as handling fees for AirAsia flights (AK, FD, QZ) and AirAsia X (D7) flights. Surfers, golfers, cyclists and other avid sportsperson can now bring along their sporting gears with more ease and at a much lower cost.
According to Tassapon Bijleveld, CEO of AirAsia, “AirAsia is continuously trying to provide more value for our guests. This time, our move to reduce the online check-in baggage and sports equipment fees will greatly contribute to more affordable air travel—which is exactly what the AirAsia experience is all about. The introduction of the 35kg and 40kg baggage tier is inspired by the feedback of our guests, and these heavier baggage tiers will enable our guests to have peace of mind as they no longer need to worry about the additional fees they need to pay in case of excess baggage at the airport counters.”
