This will give members greater value and more certainty when planning their travels using AirAsia points.

AirAsia rewards, the loyalty arm of the Capital A Group, has launched the new Points Booking feature, which promises to be an enhanced experience with dedicated seat allocations on eligible AirAsia flights at least 30 days before departure.

To celebrate the launch, the unit is offering a 50% pointsback on all eligible flight redemptions made until September 30, 2026, with members able to redeem flights across AirAsia’s extensive network, including both domestic and international destinations.

Redemption fares include the flight base fare, taxes and fees, with options such as Manila-Caticlan (Boracay) from just 12,000 points (all-in fare, valued at ~PHP1,845) and Manila-Kaohsiung from 20,000 points (all-in fare, valued at ~PHP3,076).

Travel period is from October 10, 2026 to August 31, 2027.

The said Points Booking feature is available via the AirAsia MOVE app, with members required to have a minimum balance of 500 AirAsia points to redeem eligible fares. They can also choose to pay fully or partially with points, topping up any remaining balance by credit card where applicable.

Members are also being encouraged to convert their credit card or other loyalty points into AirAsia points to supplement their balance when redeeming Points Booking.

  • STEP-BY-STEP PROCEDURE
  • Step 1: Click the “Points” tab in the AirAsia MOVE app.
  • Step 2: Scroll down and tap on the “Fly on Points Booking” deals.
  • Step 3: Select a destination and a travel date at least 30 days in advance.
  • Step 4: Use the slider to adjust your points, and tap “Redeem”.

In addition, there are also monthly double-digit campaigns that allows eligible credit card, bank and other loyalty points to be converted into AirAsia points.

Shannon Liew, Group Head of Loyalty, AirAsia rewards noted, “At AirAsia rewards, we’ve always believed loyalty should be simple, rewarding and easy to understand. With dedicated seat allocations now available through Points Booking, members can enjoy greater value and have more confidence when planning their trips.

We’re excited to offer 50% pointsback until 30 September as part of this launch, giving members an even greater opportunity to maximise the value of their AirAsia points. For example, a Manila – Caticlan Boracay flight requires 12,000 AirAsia points, with members receiving 6,000 points back after the campaign ends.

Liew furthered that the program transforms points earned through everyday spending into tangible travel experiences throughout their earning journey and lets members have clear reason to keep earning AirAsia points.
