Air Asia’s Fly and win competition

16 April 2009

The airline’s first RM10,000 prize for its Fly and Win campaign goes to KL-based insurance claims manager Alan Ho. Alan, who won the prize after booking seats for himself and two other colleagues for flights to Kuching, Miri and Kuala Lumpur, says he was pleasantly surprised when he won the jackpot.

KL-based insurance claims manager Alan Ho explained “I couldn’t believe my luck! My friends called me to say that I won RM10,000. I went back to the office, and they showed me the ad in a Chinese newspaper announcing my win. I can’t read Chinese except for my name, which I saw printed with my IC number, and then I knew that I had indeed won. I feel privileged as I have never won a prize in a contest involving luck before,”who turns 40 this year.

The contest, Fly and Win, is AirAsia’s way of thanking its guests for voting it the World’s Best Low Cost Airline in the latest Skytrax survey, which polled more than 16.2 million travelers.

The contest is valid for all AirAsia guests residing in Malaysia and Singapore who book seats at www.airasia.com or mobile.airasia.com between 6 and 26 April 2009 for travel between 5-May-09 and 31-Jul-10 . They stand a chance to win a RM10,000 or S$5,000 cash prize during weekly draws on 13, 20 and 27- Apr.

The bookings must be for travel originating from any destination in Malaysia or Singapore and payments must be made in Malaysian ringgit or Singapore dollars.

Alan is a frequent flyer on AirAsia and confesses to having been a fan of the airline for years. He frequents Bangkok and Phuket as holiday hotspots, and he goes there primarily to enjoy the food. He has also been on AirAsia flights to Bali, Macau and wherever else AirAsia brings him closer to dive spots. He pinpoints KL-Tawau as a particularly helpful route as it offers the most convenient way for him to visit the world-famous dive spots of Sipadan. AirAsia offers direct flights from KL to Tawau, the jump-off point for the dive spots.
