AirAsia
Introduces New Lower Price Range for Pre-Booked Meals
SEPANG, 29 FEBRUARY 2012
– AirAsia,
the world’s best low-cost airline will be reducing the prices of its
pre-booked in-flight meals regionally effective Thursday, 1 March 2012
with savings
up to 30% when booked online at www.airasia.com.
This good news comes after AirAsia reduced its check-in baggage and sports equipment fees two weeks ago, and it
will benefit all AirAsia guests as they are able to enjoy more of AirAsia’s value-added services at lower costs.
AirAsia’s Regional Head of Commercial, Kathleen Tan said,
“AirAsia always strives to listen to our guests, and take into account
their feedback on how we can make their AirAsia experience a better one.
In line with our efforts to reduce travel costs and provide more value
to our guests, we decided to revise our pre-booked
in-flight meal prices as well, apart from the recent reduction of
check-in baggage and sports equipment fees. And as a truly Asean
airline, we have also continuously improved on our selection of meals on
board with tastes from across the region.”
Shireen Chia, Regional Head of Catering & In-Flight Service, AirAsia
comments, “AirAsia’s commitment is to make all our guests’ flying
experience a better one, and one of the grouses we commonly hear is
guests not being able to have their preferred meals on board. We hope
that the price reduction for online pre-booked meals
will encourage more people to pre-book their preferred meals online
along with their flight bookings. Not only can they save up to 30% when
they pre-book their meals online, but guests can also ensure that they
can enjoy their favourite meals on board.”
AirAsia’s
pre-booked meals consist of a hot meal with a bottle of 100ml mineral
water and are now priced at RM7.90
per set for Frankster (chicken hot dog), Cheesy Extravaganza Pizza
Wedge, Smoked Chicken Focaccia, Pancakes with Butter and Maple Syrup and
Assorted Sandwiches set; RM9.90 per set for the all-time favourite Pak
Nasser’s Nasi Lemak, Uncle Chin’s Chicken Rice,
Green Curry Chicken, Asian Fried Rice with Satay, Chicken Satay, Ginger
Fried Rice with Vegetarian Chicken, Roast Chicken with BBQ Sauce,
Spaghetti Chicken Bolognaise, Vegetarian Pulao Briyani, Bukhara Chicken
Briyani. The meals were priced at RM9 and RM12
respectively before the price reduction.
The
Special Meal of the Month, which features different food highlights
every two months based on the various
occasions in countries throughout Asean such as Hari Raya, Deepavali,
Christmas and Chinese New Year in Malaysia, as well as Songkran festival
in Thailand will also be reduced to RM13.90 per set from RM15
previously.
AirAsia
also added three new items to its pre-book menu line-up with Beef Stew,
Tandoori Chicken Tortilla Wrap
and Mat Kelapa (fresh coconuts) to suit the appetite of the various
nationalities that travel with the world’s best low-cost airline. These
new items are also available for pre-booking at only RM9.90 and RM7.90
per set.
“Many
guests do not know this, but there is now an option to purchase more
than one meal when they pre-book it
online. This would also lead to more savings for our guests, apart from
a guarantee that you will have a great, tummy-filled flight. The new
price range is even more affordable than a fast-food meal set, and we
hope that our guests will enjoy both the new
price as well as the new pre-book menu line-up,” Shireen added.
Guests who own the BIG Card will also be rewarded with 2X BIG Points when they pre-book their meals along with
their flights. For more information about BIG, please log on to

Apart from in-flight meals, guests are also able to pre-book their check-in baggage allocation, select their seats
via Pick-A-Seat and Hot Seats, travel insurance via AirAsia Insure as well as AirAsia Comfort Kits, amongst others.
Guests who have yet to pre-book their meals for their flights are able to do so via ‘Manage My Booking’ at
the AirAsia website up to 48 hours before their scheduled flight. Guests are also able to add in all the other value-added services via the same method as well.
AirAsia
has also recently reduced its processing fees from RM8 per guest per
sector, to only RM5 per guest per
sector; apart from waiving the counter check-in fees for international
bound guests across all of its hubs and stations throughout their route
network which spans across 152 routes, 77 destinations and 23 countries.
