AirAsia slashes fares to just RM1

KUALA LUMPUR: AirAsia has returned with irresistible promotions with some 250,000 seats up for grabs with fares from as low as RM1 to domestic and regional destinations in line with the Mega Sale Carnival 2008.

Fares as low as RM1 are for one-way from Kuala Lumpur hub to popular destinations in Peninsular Malaysia including the new stop, Kuantan, and international destinations such as Singapore, Banda Aceh, Medan, Padang and Palembang.

One-way tickets to certain destinations in Sabah and Sarawak and Southeast Asia are priced at RM20.

Fares to Chiang Mai, Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Hanoi, Clark (Manila), Macau, Shenzhen and the new destinations of Haikou (Hainan) are at RM70 and Hong Kong at RM150.

To top it off, this promotion also includes AirAsia X service to Gold Coast, Australia, at RM199.

These low fares come with the lowest surcharges and airport tax in the country.

“From the past Mega Sale promotion, there was an increase in the number of tourists to Malaysia which helped stimulate the growth of the tourism industry,” said AirAsia group chief executive officer Datuk Tony Fernandes.

“Therefore, we believe this year’s campaign would encourage more visits from tourists.

“The Mega Sale also gives us a chance to enhance our customer satisfaction by providing exceptional holiday experience for a minimal fare,” he said.

Booking period is from today to June 22, while travel period is from July 1 to Sept 25.
