MANILA - The Philippine unit of Asia's largest low-cost carrier has begun offering seamless transit, hassle-free luggage check-in service at Clark International Airport.
“Our Fly-Thru service is designed to allow our guests to seamlessly connect on multiple flight legs, on certain flights without needing to pass through immigration, collect bags, re check-in between flights or have a transit visa," Maan Hontiveros, AirAsia Inc. chief executive said in a statement.
"Bags will also be automatically checked through to the final destination. This new service is part of our continuous effort to make air travel more affordable, convenient and accessible to all,” she said.
AirAsia introduced the Fly-Thru service last year with connecting flight options from selected destinations in the carrier's route network, which spans across 20 countries and 77 destinations.
Guests who will avail of the Fly-Thru service will be charged P900, which will be included in the all-in fare upon booking airasia.com. Connecting time is expected to take less than five hours.
All connecting destinations will come from AirAsia’s transit point at the Low Cost Carrier Terminal in Kuala Lumpur.
“The awesome connectivity and convenience when traveling between Australia and the Philippines as well as Japan and the Philippines will further drive up tourism in the country. We hope to draw tourists from these countries and at the same time encourage our OFWs to come home as often as possible” Hontiveros said.
The airline launched its first international destination on June 9 with afternoon flights to Kuala Lumpur, complementing Malaysia’s AirAsia which has been servicing the same route since 2005. Hong Kong and Macau flights will commence on July 19.
