CNY in the air!

At AirAsia, we celebrate almost every celebration. After christmas, the Redfort is immersed in the Chinese New Year atmosphere.

In a true AirAsia style, a celebration is never complete if its not shared with our beloved guests. Yesterday the God Of Prosperity came to meet our guests at the LCCT terminal to giveaway the AirAsia fortune cookies and other CNY goodies.

Guest what? Few guests were very lucky and they won free flights to exotic holiday islands!

Chinese New Year Travel Advisory

Chinese New Year is just around the corner and the airport is getting busier! If you are travelling with AirAsia during this festive season, my advise is to make sure you ARRIVE at the airport at least 3 hours prior to flight departure time for check-in to avoid disappointment.

Remember the roads leading to the airport are expected to be congested as well.

The best and smartest way of travelling during this peak period is to perform web check-in or mobile check-in. Dont forget to print out the boarding passes before proceeding to the airport.

Guests who have printed their boarding passes can proceed to the Baggage Drop Counters to drop your baggage. For more information on how to perform Web Check-In or Mobile check-in, do check out http://bit.ly/WtbBHa

FYI, Web and mobile check-in can be performed 14 days before your flight up to 60 minutes before departure (AirAsia flights). For AirAsia X flights, both services are available 14 days before flight up to 4 hours before departure.

We hope you have a pleasant journey home to your loved ones! GONG Xi FA CHAI!!

Miracle Med

I had this stubborn cough for over 1.5 month. It was really bad and I was getting worried. It came to a point where my friends and colleagues got freaked out as well.

It started when I was in London mid Dec 2012 and became gradually worse when I got back to Malaysia.

On the other hand, i quit smoking about the same period of time, and some says it could be withdrawal symptom. I went to local pharmacy and got many different over-the-counter cough medications.

I felt sleepy and miserable after taking the meds, but nothing seems to be working.


I went to Instagram to complain about my stubborn cough and one of my colleague suggested "Manuka Honey UMF+15". She said its a miracle.

I went to GNC and found Manuka Honey Active +25. According to the salesperson, it's specifically for healing purposes. She also mentioned that I have to use a plastic/wooden/porcelain spoon to eat it. (The honey should not be in contact with steel due to chemical reaction -which will destroy all the goodness).

I was very optimistic, and took 3 times daily as suggested.

I must say these dark brown liquid is truly a miracle! Within 3 days, it relieve all of my cough very effectively and very quickly.

I feel human again!
