Hello, I am Pax and I'm a travel addict. If you're a reader of my blog or if you follow me on Instagram, then you've seen and you'd see how much I love exploring new places and immersing myself in different cultures. I really don't care if it's out of the country or out of town (or kahit a few hours drive lang from Manila), nothing thrills me more than getting lost in an unfamiliar land. Sabi ko nga, I live & work to travel. (my Mom dislikes this HAHA). I am also a self confessed budget (I'd also like to believe, smart???) traveler. My friends, family and readers knows this. I am the type of person who enjoys planning, researching and booking flights, hotels and tours! And one of my best travel hacks, which always result in huge savings, is booking flights--for "FREE"!!! How? Read on to know more...
Okay guys, when I say free it does not mean zero amount. Of course, you still have to pay for taxes & fees depending on your destination. In my travel posts, there are a few in which I shared how I used points I earned to book for flights. I then use the money I was able to save for other things like food or shopping! Last year I went to Krabi, Thailand via AirAsia and I used my AirAsia BIG points to book Nico and I roundtrip tickets from Kuala Lumpur to Krabi. My points were not enough to cover both our tickets, but I was able to get a huge discount because of it! I think I only paid less than P3,000 for the 2 of us. :) Not bad!!!
Yesterday, AirAsia (the world’s best low-cost airline and Filipino favorite) launched the world’s first ever Freedom Flyer Programme - designed to reward loyal guests with an easier, faster, and better way to earn AirAsia BIG Points - to the Philippines. Yipee!!! I've been a member for years, so I was really excited for this.
First launched in Malaysia, the overhauled loyalty program powered by AirAsia BIG Loyalty features a unique membership status system based on how often guests fly, regardless of how much they spend on fares or how far they fly. The more you travel with AirAsia, the faster you will level up from Red to Gold, Platinum, and ultimately, Black. The higher the status, the more BIG Points you will earn, allowing you to fly farther to more than 130 destinations across Asia Pacific. So cool!!!
AirAsia Philippines CEO Captain Dexter Comendador says, “We appreciate our guests deeply and we wanted to give them more opportunities to travel to new, incredible places. Traveling is already an exciting experience, but with the revamped Freedom Flyer Programme, our guests can look forward to earning rewards while doing what they love.”
AirAsia BIG Loyalty Acting CEO Sereen Teoh said, “Introducing the world’s first Freedom Flyer Programme is our way of saying thank you for making AirAsia the world’s best low-cost airline and for helping AirAsia reach its half a billion guests flown milestone. This programme was designed with every traveler in mind and everyone is rewarded simply by flying with AirAsia.”
Mr. Kaw discussed how the app and the program works! So easy and simple. Just earn points (they have a list of partners) and then use these points to redeem flights! :) Each guest is automatically a member, starting with Red status where you will earn up to 20 BIG Points per PHP125 spent (subject to foreign exchange fluctuations). Gold members earn up to 40 BIG Points, Platinum up to 70 BIG Points and Black up to 120 BIG Points. Additionally, long-haul and Fly-Thru flights count as two one-way short-haul flights for membership status qualification purposes, making it doubly rewarding to travel with AirAsia X.
Guests with a minimum of 100 BIG Points can now pay for their flight bookings with BIG Points on Airasia.com. This way, you can easily utilize your BIG Points to enjoy even more savings on AirAsia’s low fares. Other BIG Member privileges include 90% off flights during monthly promotions like Final Call Sale and Final Call Sale X exclusively on the AirAsia BIG Loyalty app, plus 24-hour priority redemption for RED HOT PISO SALE anytime, anywhere.
Additionally, as an airline loyalty programme that goes beyond flights, AirAsia BIG Loyalty has over 160 partners worldwide, including Globe Telecom, Petron, Zalora, Agoda and SM Hotels to name a few, representing popular Filipino brands that members can earn BIG Points from to redeem flights to their dream destinations.
I can't wait to book using my points on Monday!!! Will share with you if I'm able to book a flight anywhere. Go sign-up na din and start flying! Let me know where you're headed next. :)
