Hurry Up! AirAsia offers 100,000 free tickets!

This is a unique step from budget airlines AirAsia to bring back tourists and businessman back to Thailand. The company has launched a campaign themed “Get Your Baht To Thailand” — a play on the Thai currency — AirAsia will give away 100,000 free tickets to Bangkok from Vietnam, Cambodia, Myammar, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and China, as well as for flights within Thailand. Unfortunately, there are no free tickets from U.S. to Thailand.

So, with this offer, the passengers will only have to pay airport taxes and administration fee. This is a further step from AirAsia which last month abolished fuel surcharges on all its flights.

“We hope that this campaign will instill the confidence among travelers and also help to boost tourism which is vital at this juncture,” Group Chief Executive Tony Fernandes said in a statement.

Tickets can only be purchased until Friday (Thailand time – they are 12 hours ahead of D.C.!) for travel between January 6 and March 31, 2009. So, Hurry Up!!
