SAME DAY CREDITS FOR CANCELED AIR ASIA FLIGHTS
guests can now secure their credit with the airline easier and faster, with their credits redeemed on the same day the request is made.
The latest move is in line with the company’s value to prioritize guests and reduce the stress and uncertainty by providing its guests with a quick, hassle-free resolution.
Guests whose flights have been canceled by Airasia from March 23 to August 31, 2020 can retain the value of their bookings in credit accounts on their Airasia BIG Member account, on the same day of their request. Credit accounts can be used within two years (730 calendar days) from the issuance date, while the travel date of the new booking can be any time beyond that period, as long as flights are available for booking on airasia.com or on the mobile app.
Airasia’s Virtual Allstar (AVA) will be able to assist guests with their credit account submission. All travelers need to do is provide their name, email address and booking number. AVA will then check to ensure the BIG Member ID provided matches the name and records of the person who has registered the BIG Member account before processing the credit to their account.
Airasia chief customer happiness officer Adam Geneave said, “We know it’s been a frustrating time for our guests, and our team has been working hard to add faster, simpler ways to access our recovery options. We are pleased to make credit accounts more easily accessible for our valued guests, many of whom have chosen them over refunds, in anticipation of flying with us again in the future. We are grateful for their cooperation, which will not only help us come out of this challenging time stronger but also shows that we are truly all in this together.”
Guests who have already submitted their credit account request will receive an email from Airasia, guiding them on how to submit for the same-day credit account request.
Guests are also kindly reminded that a BIG Membership Account is required to process a credit account request, and is subject to booking validation.
Airasia has also implemented end-to-end contactless procedures and a series of new safety measures, as well as taking care of those most at risk to ensure the safety of all traveling guests.
