Recently named the World’s Best Low-Cost Airline for the ninth year in a row, AirAsia has quickly grown to be one of the world’s largest budget carriers offering flights throughout Asia.
With a motto of “Now Everyone Can Fly”, the Malaysia-based carrier offers low fares for on its no-frills service. Travellers pay for what they want, like a checked bag or in-flight meal, and don’t have to absorb the prices of services they don’t want to use.
