AirAsia announces P144 one-way base fare Valentine's Day promo

Low-cost airline AirAsia Philippines on Saturday announced a P144 one-way base fare in celebration of Valentine's Day.

In a statement, AirAsia Philippines said it is rolling out the #LoveIsInTheFare promo in light of the relaxed travel protocols..

Travelers flying between Manila, Clark, Cebu; and Caticlan, Tagbilaran, Puerto Princesa, Davao and Iloilo, and other key destinations may avail of a one-way base fare as low as P144, the airline said.

The booking period for the promo is from February 14 to February 20, 2022 with a travel period between February 14 to September 20, 2022.

“We are expecting that with the good progress of our pandemic situation, 2022 will be the year when Filipinos satisfy their pent-up demand for travel. We have been isolated from the world and our own destinations for too long. The P144 promo is believed to be timely as the Philippines, following its improving pandemic situation, have been relaxing protocols for both domestic and international travel since the start of February,” said AirAsia Philippines spokesperson Steve Dailisan.

Top Philippine tourist destinations are easing border restrictions, especially for fully vaccinated individuals.

Puerto Princesa, Iloilo, Boracay, Cebu City and Davao City, for instance, are no longer requiring those with complete COVID-19 vaccination to take an RT-PCR test.

Tourists are still required to present either a Vaccination Certificate generated from vaxcert.doh.gov.ph or their vaccination card.

Some destinations also require a negative antigen result.

Starting February 10, 2022, the country is also opening its borders to tourists who are fully vaccinated from non-visa-required countries, provided they have a negative RT-PCR test result taken within 48 hours prior to their flight. —Ted Cordero/KG, GMA News
