reader Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 From The Nation AirAsia is responding to passenger demand for premium services with the launch of the new “AirAsia Red Carpet” option. The service offers travellers an exclusive check-in counter, pre-flight food and beverages in a special lounge and priority boarding and baggage claim, with prices starting at Bt800 for domestic flights and Bt1,000 for international and Fly Thru flights. Santisuk Klongchaiya, director of Commercial for Thai AirAsia, notes that AirAsia’s customer base has expanded steadily to encompass a range of lifestyles that include travellers who enjoy its low fares but also want the convenience and exclusivity of more premium services, hence the creation of “AirAsia Red Carpet”. Customers who choose this option will be treated to an exclusive check-in counter that bypasses any long lines, up to two-and-a half-hours access to a relaxing lounge complete with food and beverage as well as priority boarding and baggage claim. The service can be selected through the Manage My Booking feature on AirAsia website. http://www.nationmultimedia.com/detail/thailand/30326237 -------------------------- From Straits Times SINGAPORE - Changi Airport’s Terminal 4 will open on Oct 31 – a critical milestone for the airport as it goes live with new technology, systems and procedures that could shape the future of air travel in Singapore.
