AirAsia is celebrating its 20 million passenger milestone (honestly, these budget airlines are celebrating just about anything!) and is offering another ticket for free for every flight you book until the weekend, Aug. 20. You and your companion (yes, the two tickets should be for 2 passengers flying together) must travel between Aug 21 and Oct 18, 2006.
Check out AirAsia’s list of destinations and corresponding airfares. Fares quoted exclude airport taxes and fees, fuel surcharges and indicate one way travel only.
Hm, so who’re you taking with you?
