As summer travel demand surges and long weekends are coming, AirAsia Philippines reminds guests to stay vigilant against online travel scams.
Recently, AirAsia received reports of online scammers posing as legitimate travel agencies, using fake business registrations to convince travelers of their legitimacy and lure them into booking.
To ensure guests’ protection, AirAsia strongly advises against booking through unverified websites and social media pages, especially those requesting personal information or promoting deals that seem too good to be true.
In 2024 alone, AirAsia Philippines blocked 51 accounts associated with scam incidents, demonstrating enhanced detection measures against fraud.
“As technology evolves, scammers constantly advance their tactics to keep up with the ever-changing landscape. We strongly advise travelers to book flights only through airasia.com or the airasia MOVE App. To verify legitimacy of promos and seat sales, guests can cross-check via our website if they are reflected on our system,” AirAsia Philippines Communications and Public Affairs Head, First Officer Steve Dailisan shares.
As the World’s Best Low-Cost Airline, AirAsia remains committed to providing the best value for travelers, offering frequent promos almost every week, ensuring affordable fares without the need to book through unverified Facebook pages or unauthorized websites.
Furthermore, passengers can look forward to lower fare promos this April, following the Civil Aeronautics Board’s (CAB) adjustment of fuel surcharges to Level 4. This change means guests can expect reduced fees ranging from PHP 117 to PHP 342 for domestic flights and PHP 385.70 to PHP 2,867.82 for international flights, depending on the destination.
