AirAsia notes uptick in holiday bookings
CEBU, Philippines — AirAsia Philippines reported an uptick in bookings for both domestic and international travel ahead of the upcoming holiday season.
This increase is attributed to guests planning ahead and securing their travel early to save more and avoid any last-minute hassles, said AirAsia Philippines Communications and Public Affairs Head First Officer Steve Dailisan.
For the travel period from October 30 to November 3, AirAsia Philippines has already recorded more than 50,000 seats sold, with numbers expected to rise further in the coming week.
The top destinations include a mix of domestic and international locations: (1) Boracay, (2) Cebu, (3) Taipei, (4) Bohol, (5) Tacloban, (6) Puerto Princesa, (7) Incheon, (8) Narita, (9) IloIlo, and (10) Bangkok.
“While the season is traditionally observed to commemorate departed loved ones, we’ve seen that some guests visit early, allowing them to use the All Saints’ and All Souls’ Day holidays for leisure travel. Based on our top 10 routes, beach destinations remain a favorite for domestic travelers, while countries that offer a mix of shopping, food, and cultural experiences continue to excite our international guests,” said Dailisan.
With most trips during this period lasting only 3 to 5 days, AirAsia Philippines is giving tips to help guests maximize their holiday travel—pack smart, travel smart; plan travels ahead; go for bundle; among others.
“To accommodate the influx of holiday travelers, we have also increased our manpower at NAIA Terminals 2 and 3. We will always be committed to fulfill our brand promise of reaching guests safely and on time,” Dailisan added.
