The 11th Birthday Bash promotion will be available for booking from Monday, 26 November – 2 December 2012 at AirAsia’s website, www.airasia.com for the travel peri- od from 3 December 2012 – 31 March 2013.

AirAsia stomped into the year of the Dragon with a celebratio­n of its 100th Airbus A320 adorned with a dragon livery in January. A brand new corporate identity was announced later in May, offering a fresher, simpler outlook but retaining the vivacious brand values that AirAsia is known for. Barely two months later, AirAsia was awarded the World’s Best Low-Cost Airline for the fourth consecutiv­e year by Skytrax and this reaffirms the airline’s position as one that caters value for money to guests.

And as AirAsia’s 11th anniversar­y draws closer, the airline will continue to chart a growth path that will enhance guests’ traveling experience and increase service quality. Aireen Omar, Chief Executive Officer of AirAsia Berhad commented, “AirAsia Berhad is turning 11 very soon, and this would not have been possible without the support of our guests. It is exciting for me as I assumed the role only from July this year, and seeing what AirAsia has grown into in its 11th year of operations motivates me further to provide more value for our guests and to keep the AirAsia promise of affordable travel for all.” “We hope to strengthen our route network and connectivi­ty which spans to over 85 destinatio­ns across nearly 24 countries moving forward, and this 11th Birthday Bash promotion showcases how easy it is for our guests to connect to various destinatio­ns from the numerous hubs we operate from around the region,” added Aireen.

Guests are also able to pre-book their in-flight meals with a wide variety of hot meals available onboard with an option to book up to two meals for each guest. Check-in baggage allocation, inflight meals, Pick-A-Seat, travel insurance and more are all available online and guests are able to add or make changes to their booking very simply through ‘Manage My Booking’.
