We’ve still got a couple of public holidays in Singapore for 2024 left, and if you haven’t already locked in your vacations, now’s an opportune time to do so. Low-cost airline AirAsia is bringing back their ‘free seats’ promotion, where you’ll get to fly to over 130 destinations around the region for practically free.
This news comes shortly after the announcement of Emirates’ special fares, with reasonably-priced return flights from Singapore to over 80 destinations – including trips to Europe under $1,000.
Well, the AirAsia flights are not 100 percent free per se – especially not in this economy, with Singapore being the world’s most expensive city in the world once again – but it’s still a sweet deal nonetheless. The catch? The ‘free’ seats are for base fares, and you’ll still have to spare some pennies for things like airport taxes, fuel surcharges, and other applicable expenses such as checked baggage.
That said, these additional costs are usually in negligible amounts, and you’ll still be saving a fair bit by not having to pay for your seat on the plane. If you’re curious as to how much this would set you back, that’ll start from just $68 one-way, all-in, for locations like Bangkok, Bali, Phuket, Kuala Lumpur, Langkawi, and Kota Kinabalu – all perfect for quick weekend getaways.
Looking to jet set a little further? AirAsia is also having a concurrent big sale where they’re offering discounted prices for medium-haul destinations, with Fly-Thru via Kuala Lumpur or Bangkok. All-in one-way fares inclusive of taxes and surcharges start from $148, for places including but not limited to Tokyo, Chiang Mai, and Siem Riep.
Here’s an added bonus: AirAsia is offering up to 70 percent off pre-booked add-ons for passengers who make their bookings during this promotion period, and this would include baggage allowance, in-flight meals, seat selection, and travel insurance.
Bookings are already open. To enjoy these special prices, waste no time and secure your tickets on airasia.com or the AirAsia Move app by June 16, 2024, for travel dates from September 2, 2024 to October 8, 2025. Find out more here.
