AirAsia Philippines is significantly increasing its domestic flight frequencies throughout October to accommodate the expected surge of travelers heading home for Undas (All Saints’ and All Souls’ Days). This proactive step prepares the airline for one of the country’s busiest travel periods, ensuring more Filipinos can spend the All Saints’ Day long weekend paying respects to their departed loved ones or simply spending quality time with family.
The airline has substantially boosted its flight offerings across key routes from Manila:
“As one of the country’s busiest travel periods approaches, AirAsia is fully prepared to serve our kababayans who will be paying respect to their departed loved ones or spending quality time with family during the long weekend,” said AirAsia Philippines President & CEO Capt. Suresh Bangah. “These frequency upgrades are designed to offer more seats and flight options for our guests, ensuring a smooth and convenient travel experience.”
Following an impressive 83% load factor recorded during the Undas season last year, AirAsia Philippines anticipates even higher demand this year, prompting the strategic increase in seat capacity.
AirAsia Reminds Guests to Travel Smart This Peak Season
To guarantee a seamless journey during this high-volume travel period, AirAsia urges all passengers to follow these Travel Smart tips:
- Book Early: Plan and book trips at least a month ahead to secure the best fares, as ticket prices typically increase closer to the travel date.
- Check Baggage Allowance: Weigh bags before leaving for the airport and purchase any necessary additional baggage allowance via the AirAsia MOVE app or website to avoid higher counter fees.
- Check-In Online: Save significant time by checking in through the AirAsia MOVE app, which allows passengers to proceed directly to the bag drop counters upon arrival at the airport.
- Arrive Early: Expect longer queues and heavier foot traffic during peak travel periods. Guests should arrive at the airport at least two hours before domestic flights and three hours before international departures.
