AirAsia is set to fly to Hua Hin, Thailand starting May 18 with four times weekly direct flights. 

The latest route, operated on flight code AK, marked AirAsia Malaysia’s seventh destination into Thailand, consistent with the airline’s continuous efforts to provide the widest network in Asean and connecting the road less travelled in the region to the world.

Its head of commercial, Spencer Lee said the airline has carried about 1.3 million of guests from Kuala Lumpur to Thailand.

“Thailand was ranked ninth among the world’s most visited countries by the United Nation’s World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) report published in 2017. 

“Hence, we are positive that Hua Hin will be the new preferred holiday destination and hope that the new route will further contribute to the tourism growth for both cities,” he said. 

AirAsia Malaysia currently operates 165 weekly flights one way to Thailand. Besides Hua Hin, the airline also flies to six other routes to Thailand such as Bangkok (80 times weekly), Phuket (35 times weekly), Krabi (21 times weekly), Hat Yai (7 times weekly), Chiang Mai (14 times weekly), and Pattaya (4 times weekly).

Sited about 3 hours car ride from Bangkok, Hua Hin offers visitors everything from historic landmarks to modern theme attractions. 

To celebrate the launch of this new route, the airline is offering promotional all-in-fares from RM 79 for one way from now to March 4, for the travel period between May 18 to October 26.
