Score Cheap Flights Anytime: How to Make the Most of AirAsia BIG Sales

Looking to snag the lowest fares on AirAsia? You don’t have to wait for a specific promo—knowing how to use AirAsia’s BIG Sale system can save you a ton on both domestic and international flights. Here’s how to make the most of it.

1. Sign Up for an AirAsia BIG Account

BIG members enjoy exclusive discounts, early access to promos, and points that can be redeemed for flights. Even if you’re a casual traveller, having an account is a no-brainer—it increases your chances of landing the lowest fares and additional perks.

2. Watch Out for Promo Seats

AirAsia regularly releases millions of promo seats during BIG Sales. While the absolute lowest fares may sell out quickly, with a bit of patience you can still find amazing deals. Always check multiple dates and airports if your schedule is flexible.

3. Pre-Book Baggage, Seats, and Meals

Want to travel without surprises? Pre-booking baggage (especially for 25kg or more), preferred seats, and in-flight meals not only guarantees your choices but often comes with discounts compared to booking at the airport.

4. Plan Domestic and International Trips Strategically

AirAsia offers flights from multiple Philippine hubs—Manila, Clark, Cebu, and Cagayan de Oro—to popular destinations in Asia. Keep an eye on these routes for flash sales, especially if you’re flexible with travel dates.

5. Be Patient and Compare

Finding the cheapest fares requires a bit of persistence. Compare different flight options, check alternative airports, and don’t hesitate to mix and match dates. Even small adjustments can cut hundreds—or even thousands—off your ticket.

6. Make Travel Points Work for You

BIG points can be used to partially or fully pay for future flights. Track your points and redeem them strategically to maximise savings, especially for longer or international trips.

With a little planning and patience, you can always find great deals on AirAsia. Remember, the key isn’t rushing—it’s knowing how to navigate their system smartly and consistently.
