AirAsia Group Launches 17% Off Sale on All Seats and All Flights
AirAsia Group airlines are holding a sale to celebrate being named the “World’s Best Low-Cost Airline” by Skytrax for the 17th consecutive year. The sale runs for just nine days, from Saturday, September 19 to Sunday, September 27, 2026. It covers routes operated by the group’s airlines, including flights between Japan and Taipei, Kaohsiung, Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok. The discount is a simple 17% off. It applies to all seats on all flights, not just selected flights or seats.
Sale Highlights
- Booking period: Saturday, September 19 – Sunday, September 27, 2026
- Travel period: September 19, 2026 – August 31, 2027 (some blackout dates apply)
- Discount: 17% off all seats on all flights
- Bonus offer: Up to 30% off “Value Pack” bundles that include seat selection and checked baggage
- Japan routes covered: Taipei, Kaohsiung, Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok
Participating Airlines
This is a joint sale run by several airlines within AirAsia Group. The following group carriers are named as participating:
- AirAsia X
- Thai AirAsia X
- AirAsia Philippines
- Thai AirAsia
These are given as examples of the group airlines taking part, and the sale covers routes operated by each of them. That means the offer isn’t limited to flights to and from Japan. Routes across each carrier’s network are included too. However, the announcement doesn’t specify which airline operates which route, so it’s worth checking the operating carrier when you book.
Routes to and from Japan
From Japan, flights to the following four cities are included in the sale:
- Taipei (Taiwan)
- Kaohsiung (Taiwan)
- Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia)
- Bangkok (Thailand)
The lineup includes two cities in nearby Taiwan plus the major Southeast Asian cities of Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok, so it suits everything from short breaks to longer holidays. Note that the announcement doesn’t mention departure airports in Japan or flight frequencies. To see whether a covered route operates from your preferred airport, select your departure city on the booking site.
The Discount: 17% Off All Seats on All Flights
The standout feature of this sale is that every seat on every flight is 17% off. The sale isn’t restricted to specific flights or a limited number of seats. Apart from blackout dates, you can get the discount on the dates and times you want. The 17% figure is a nod to the 17 consecutive years of the award.
Price Guide
The announcement does not give specific fares or price ranges for each route. LCC fares change depending on when you book and how full the flight is, so discounted prices will also vary by date. As a rough illustration, a 10,000 yen fare would be reduced by 1,700 yen to 8,300 yen. A 30,000 yen fare would drop by 5,100 yen to 24,900 yen. These are sample calculations only, not actual fares.
The announcement also doesn’t say what the 17% discount applies to. It could cover only the base fare, or it could also include taxes and other charges. Be sure to check the final total on the booking screen.
“Value Pack” Bundles Also Up to 30% Off
On top of the fare discount, “Value Pack” bundles that combine seat selection and checked baggage are discounted by up to 30%. With LCCs, seat selection and checked bags are often not included in the base fare, and adding them one by one can quickly push up the total. If you plan to check a suitcase or want to sit with your travel companions, consider the discounted Value Pack. It may help keep your overall trip cost down.
Keep in mind that the discount is “up to” 30%, so it may be lower depending on the route and conditions. Check details such as the baggage allowance and seat type included in the pack when booking.
Travel Period and Blackout Dates
The travel period runs from September 19, 2026 to August 31, 2027, which is nearly a full year. The sale could be useful for trips over the year-end holidays, spring break, Golden Week and summer 2027. However, the booking window is only nine days long, so anyone with fairly firm travel plans should book early.
Some dates within the travel period are also excluded, and the announcement doesn’t say which ones. If you’re planning to travel during holidays or long breaks, be sure to check before booking.
Things to Check Before Booking
- The sale is available for nine days only, until September 27
- Some blackout dates apply during the travel period
- Departure airports in Japan and operating carriers aren’t specified in the announcement, so check them on the booking screen
- Check what the discount covers (whether taxes and fees are included)
- Change and refund conditions aren’t stated, so review the fare rules in advance
- The Value Pack discount rate may vary depending on conditions
- Check the entry requirements for your destination and your passport’s remaining validity in advance
