AirAsia has once again launched selected promotions, with all international and domestic flights enjoying a 20% discount across the board. Customers only need to book through the AirAsia website from September 7 to September 11, 2011 (only five days), for travel dates between September 12, 2011 and November 16, 2011, to exclusively enjoy the 20% discounted fares.

This promotion covers an extensive range, spanning 22 countries and as many as 160 routes, encompassing 12 major AirAsia hubs, including Kuala Lumpur, Sabah, Kuching, and Penang in Malaysia; Phuket and Chiang Mai in Thailand; Jakarta, in Indonesia; and the 20% discount also applies to economy class and Premium Flat Bed business seats on AirAsia X long-haul flights (except those bound for Tehran), with discounted routes including Kuala Lumpur to China, India, Australia, Taiwan, New Zealand, France, the UK, South Korea, and Japan.

Additionally, for departures from Taipei to Paris, Perth, New Delhi, Mumbai, Melbourne, London, and Christchurch, you can use the “Fly Thru” transit service, booking two flight segments under one fare. At departure, you only need to check in and check baggage once, then directly transfer at Kuala Lumpur without having to queue again for boarding passes or customs clearance.
