Airlines in the ASEAN region participating in the Visit ASEAN Pass programme have introduced a new air-pass with lower airfares from this month.
The new air-pass, called Special Visit ASEAN Air-Pass, is valid until November 30, 2008. The eight participating airlines are Malaysia Airlines, Garuda Airlines, Lao Airlines, Myanmar Airways International, Philippine Airlines, Royal Brunei Airlines, Thai Airways International and Vietnam Airlines.
At the same time, the validity of the original air-pass, named Visit ASEAN Air-Pass, has been extended for another year until November 30, 2008.
ASEAN Tourism Association (ASEANTA) President Felix J. Cruz said the new air-pass would be a major catalyst for further boosting tourism in ASEAN countries.
“We will continue to look for more ways that airlines of Asean can play that important role,” he said in a statement quoted by Bernama.
The new air-pass is priced at US$319 for three sectors or coupons and each additional sector or coupon is priced at US$120, up to a maximum of five sectors or coupons.
The pass is for Y class travel on international and domestic sectors within ASEAN countries – Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
More details as well as restrictions are available at the ASEANTA website ( www.visitasean.travel).
