ASEAN Passes

Members of AirAsia’s “BIGshot” frequent-flyer program can purchase an ASEAN Pass for MYR499 (near $138) or an ASEAN Pass + for MYR888.

Each pass has a value in “credits,” 10 for the ASEAN Pass, 20 for the ASEAN Pass +. For flights to any AirAsia destination in the 10-country ASEAN region (which includes Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam), each route costs from one to five credits.

ASEAN Passes are good for one year from the time of purchase, but, once activated, the points must be used in 30 days for the ASEAN Pass or 60 for ASEAN Pass +. Using the credits, a traveler can fly between the same two cities no more than once. Tickets purchased with ASEAN Passes must be reserved at least 14 days in advance. Tickets cost only credits, but taxes and fees must be paid in cash or by credit card. ASEAN Passes do not guarantee seat availability. Visit www.airasia.com/my/en/book-with-us/asean-pass.page.
