The airasia Super App is the booking platform that hosts the world’s best low-cost airline AirAsia which flies to over 130 destinations across Asean and beyond, including Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand and more. Aside from AirAsia flights, the super app also enables its users to purchase hotels, book ride-hailing as well as other services such as online duty-free shopping, food delivery and more in that region.
SUPER+, the best value flight subscription in the market was launched and made available for travellers all across Asean in March 2022 and have over 100,000 subscribers in that region, with over half a million seats redeemed so far. The highest redemption made was for over 100 flight seats within the 12-month period.
Now, the SUPER+ subscription has been enhanced to include even more destinations, and is made available for travellers from around the globe, including the United Kingdom to purchase on the airasia Super App.
Similar to a “season pass”, the SUPER+ subscription would enable British travellers unlimited flight redemptions for example from Kuala Lumpur to the Gold Coast; from Jaipur to Tokyo via Kuala Lumpur; or even from Bangkok to Hanoi, over a year – all for less than the price of a peak-time return train from London to Manchester.
More than 700,000 UK nationals flew into ASEAN countries before the pandemic; and these airasia SUPER+ subscription plans aim to reconnect British holidaymakers and remote-workers to a wider array of experiences across vibrant cultures in Asia.
To cater to the different needs and preferences of travellers, the new SUPER+ will now offer two options for subscribers with different destination preferences. Subscribers can choose from the SUPER+ Lite, which covers all Asean countries, while the SUPER+ Premium provides access to all countries operated by the AirAsia airline group including destinations in Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand and more. Both options include unlimited 10% off for airasia ride and unlimited 5% discounton all hotels on the airasia Super App.
Go unlimited now as only 200,000 SUPER+ new subscriptions are available and can be purchased from today until 1559hrs on 11 th December 2022. Just click on the SUPER+ icon on the airasia Super App to purchase or visit https://app.airasia.com/F4uy/g6jvpkeg.
The SUPER+ Lite is priced at USD199 (approximately GBP165), while the SUPER+ Premium is only USD499 (approximately GBP410).

Commenting on the new SUPER+, Tony Fernandes, CEO of Capital A said, “ This is what we have been preparing for - the return of travel. Before the pandemic hit, an average of 150,000 UK nationals travelled on AirAsia yearly, using our extensive route connectivity as the preferred feeder network to explore Asia and especially Asean. With all of Asean having already been reopened along with markets like Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and more, travellers from the UK looking for the best value to rediscover Asia and beyond can definitely benefit from our SUPER+ subscription. This product captures the beauty of our airasia Super App platform ecosystem, which brings together all of our airlines and travel products and services like hotels, along with our e-commerce offerings such as airasia ride, which is also included as a SUPER+ benefit. This is another product that highlights our AirAsia DNA which is to create value for our customers, and we will continue to champion this across all new products and services that we will introduce in the future.”
Amanda Woo, CEO of airasia Super App, said, “For the first time, we are opening up the new SUPER+ for everyone across the globe to buy, even those in the US, Europe and all other regions. For travellers from the West, this SUPER+ product is the best flight and lifestyle subscription for them to fully maximise and obtain the best value to rediscover tbe beauty of Asia. Since the initial launch in March this year, we have more than 100,000 subscribers across Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines with over half a million flights already redeemed.
