If you have already purchased the AirAsia Unlimited Pass, here is a step-by-step guide on how to plan your travel and book your tickets using the AirAsia Unlimited Pass!
AirAsia Unlimited Pass Guide : Planning Your Travel!
As we pointed out earlier, the AirAsia Unlimited Pass is not for everyone. But if you are able to benefit from it, here is our guide on how to plan your travel and book your tickets.
Step 1 : Log into your BIG Member account.
Step 2 : Make sure your BIG Member profile name is exactly the same as the name in your passport.
You only have one (1) chance to change your name and you cannot change it once your first flight redemption is confirmed, so make sure you do it before redeeming your first flight!
Step 4 : Go to Deals and look at the My Purchases tab for your AirAsia Unlimited Pass.
If you cannot locate your Unlimited Pass after purchasing, check back after a few hours. If the problem persists, email AirAsia at support_deals@airasia.com.
Step 5 : Generate your Unique Code.
Step 6 : Click Apply Now, and the page will refresh to show a flight search page.
Step 7 : Select your destination and travel date.
The AirAsia Unlimited Pass allows you to redeem these flights :
From Kuala Lumpur (return) : Melbourne, Gold Coast, Perth, Sydney, Changsha, Chongqing, Chengdu, Hangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan, Xi’an, Amritsar, New Delhi, Ahmedabad, Sapporo (Chin Chitose), Osaka, Fukuoka, Tokyo (Haneda), Tokyo (Narita), Jeju, Seoul, Busan, Taipei
From Bangkok (return) : Brisbane, Shanghai, Sapporo (Chin Chitose), Osaka, Tokyo (Narita), Nogoya, Fukuoka, Seoul
Flights with seats listed as 100% OFF are available to be booked by AirAsia Unlimited Pass holders.
If your selected flight has no 100% OFF sign, that means the AirAsia Unlimited Pass is NOT available for the selected date, or the selected date falls on the Embargo Period.
AirAsia defines the Embargo Period as a travel blackout period, during which you cannot use the Unlimited Pass. It includes these upcoming holidays in Malaysia :
Step 8 : Insert your Unique Code into the “Promo Code” field.
You will see the airport taxes and fees payable for that sector, with the total payable taxes and fees at the black box at the bottom for the return trip.
Here is a list of mandatory government taxes and fees for a 2-way return trip for available destinations :
Step 9 : Add your baggage, meals and seat allocations!
Step 10 : Complete your booking by paying the necessary taxes, fees and add-on fees.
AirAsia Unlimited Pass Guide : Warning!
AirAsia would like us to remind everyone that your Unlimited Pass cannot be returned, refunded or transferred.
They will also void your Unlimited Pass if you are no-show for 3 consecutive times for your confirmed flights.
So make sure you REALLY want to fly to those destinations on those dates before booking!

The AirAsia Unlimited Pass promises UNLIMITED AIR TRAVEL to five countries, for a whole year!
But frankly speaking – the AirAsia Unlimited Pass is A WASTE OF MONEY, unless you fit a certain set of criteria.
Find out if you fit that small set of criteria, because if you don’t – do NOT sign up for the AirAsia Unlimited Pass!
AirAsia Unlimited Pass : What Is It?
Stung by the Airbus bribery scandal and the COVID-19 coronavirus crisis, the AirAsia Unlimited Pass promotion is their effort to stem the bleed.
From 29 February to 7 March 2020, AirAsia BIG Members can purchase the Unlimited Pass which would give them the right to purchase tickets to seven sectors, as many times as they wish – for a year :
Australia
Japan
Korea
China
Taiwan (only Taipei) *thanks for the heads-up, Goldfries!
That sounds like an AWESOME deal, doesn’t it? Who doesn’t want unlimited air flights to all five countries for a whole year?
However, AirAsia threw in so many caveats, the Unlimited Pass is almost useless… unless you are willing to put up with the hassle.
AirAsia Unlimited Pass : TLDR Advice
For those who don’t have the time to read, here is our quick summary of what you need to know :
COVID-19 will prevent / discourage you from using the Unlimited Pass for many months.
You are limited to flights over 4 hours, and only with the D7 or XJ carrier codes.
You are NOT guaranteed tickets, because there are limited promo seats on each flight.
The Unlimited Pass also may not apply during peak periods like weekends, public holidays and school holidays.
Families should NOT bother with the Unlimited Pass. Holidays should be fun, not torture.
You must be willing to book your ticket, and be seated, separately from anyone you are travelling with.
It is best purchased and used by retirees, or singles / couples who have flexible working arrangements and can travel on working days.
AirAsia Unlimited Pass : Why It’s A Waste Of Money
Reason #1 : Remember COVID-19?
Four of those five countries are in the throes of fighting COVID-19, and it is unlikely that India won’t be affected soon. And the COVID-19 coronavirus is spreading, not receding.
So how likely do you think you will be travelling to those countries over the next 12 months, even if there is no travel ban?
IMHO, many people will not be travelling (voluntarily) to China, Korea, Japan and Australia in the next 6 months… at the very least.
Reason #2 : You’re NOT Guaranteed A Flight
With tourism falling off the cliff over the next few months, not only will people cancel their flights, so will airlines.
Even if you are fearless, it doesn’t mean AirAsia will be fearless as well, or stupid enough to fly an almost empty plane just because you insist on flying.
As stated in their rules (see below), buying the Unlimited Pass does NOT guarantee you to a flight. It is up to them to decide whether you qualify for a flight to your destination.
Reason #3 : Severe Limitations On Tickets
It’s stated in their Q&A (conveniently located in a separate page) that :
tickets are limited, and not available for all flights or destinations, or time periods, especially public holidays, school breaks and weekends.
only long haul flights of over 4 hours with the carrier code D7 or XJ are allowed.
you can only buy it for direct flights, no connecting flights allowed.
every passenger must book the flight individually – you cannot book as a group, even if everyone has the Unlimited Pass.
you must be 12 years or older, and have your own BIG Member account.
These limitations are designed to reduce your ability to fly as often as you would like using the AirAsia Unlimited Pass. Families, for example, must be willing to be seated separately.
Unless you are single or a couple, and able to travel during work days, you may not even have the opportunity to use the AirAsia Unlimited Pass at all!
Flying as a group will be problematic, because there are limited seats available for the Unlimited Pass.
What will likely happen is that a few members of your group will be able to use their Unlimited Pass, while the others will have to pay full price for their tickets.
The way out would be to split the group up, and fly on separate flights. But obviously, this makes travel much more of a hassle.
And remember – even if you get to fly out with the Unlimited Pass, you may not get to do so on the way back. You may have to pay full price, unless you are able and willing to adjust your return date according to what’s available for the Unlimited Pass.
Reason #5 : Fuel, Baggage + Other Fees
Even if you manage to several flights using the Unlimited Pass, they aren’t free. You will still need to cough up extra money for ancillary fees.
Budget airlines like AirAsia make a large percentage of their profits not from flight tickets, but from ancillary revenue – administrative fees, baggage fees, assigned seat fees, flight insurance, cancellations, documentation, meals, merchandise, fuel surcharges, etc.
In Q3 2019, almost a quarter of AirAsia’s revenue came from such ancillary sources – a whopping RM 686 million. And unlike revenue from flight tickets – they have relatively low costs – and so they contribute substantially to the airline’s PROFITS.
Frequent AirAsia travellers will also tell you that these ancillary fees often cost as much as, or even more, than the flight tickets!
AirAsia Unlimited Pass : Who Should Buy It?
Based on the severe restrictions AirAsia places on the Unlimited Pass, the best people to buy it should meet these requirements :
retired, single or a couple
able to travel on normal working days
would like to travel to those 5 countries
willing to put up with booking / travel hassles
Everyone else should not bother. Really. Travel should be fun, not a torture.
And we should point out that the target group above can often get free or heavily discounted flights on AirAsia without the Unlimited Pass. Thanks for the screenshots, Nigel!
So all the Unlimited Pass does is “force” you to travel more on AirAsia – they won’t make money from your flights, but they will make their money from your ancillary fees.
AirAsia Unlimited Pass : The Caveats
AirAsia conveniently lists the caveats of the Unlimited Pass in two sections in a separate Q&A page, which we have combined and summarised here (with our emphasis) :
It is only applicable on direct long haul flights of over 4 hours with carrier code D7 & XJ.
It excludes flights to Bali, Singapore, Jeddah and all Fly-thru routes. Embargo period applies.
Flight redemption is limited and may not be available for all flights, all destinations including public holidays, school breaks and weekends.
Promotions which are applicable for bookings made via airasia.com and AirAsia Mobile App are limited to regular base fare only and shall not include Premium Flex or Value Pack bundled category.
All applicable taxes, fees or charges imposed by the regulatory bodies must be paidat the time of purchase unless otherwise stated.
It is available for BIG Members within Malaysia who are at least 12 years of age on the date of departure and the passenger must be the BIG Member who made the booking. Each AirAsia Unlimited Pass is assigned to one (1) passenger only with one (1) BIG Member account.
You can only book for yourself, and cannot select multiple passengers using the AirAsia Unlimited Pass.
In the event any travel agency or party other than an individual BIG Member purchased the AirAsia Unlimited Pass and subsequently made flight bookings using the AirAsia Unlimited Pass, AirAsia shall have the right to cancel/forfeit such AirAsia Unlimited Pass and the flight bookings, without any liability on the part of AirAsia to such agency, third party or any passenger.
AirAsia reserves the right to cancel or forfeit your Unlimited Pass, if you miss more than three (3) flights.
The AirAsia Unlimited Pass cannot be sold, bartered, assigned or transferred to another person. Any attempt to transfer the AirAsia Unlimited Pass or book travel using the AirAsia Unlimited Pass for someone other than the holder of the AirAsia Unlimited Pass will result in immediate forfeiture of the AirAsia Unlimited Pass.
Upon purchasing the AirAsia Unlimited Pass, the passenger shall have the right to book and fly on AirAsia X and Thai AirAsia X flights to Australia, India, China, Korea and Japan for an unlimited number of times, subject to full and final payment of any applicable airport charges, taxes and regulatory fees, or other charges.
Use of the AirAsia Unlimited Pass will not earn any BIG Points, and flights flown using the AirAsia Unlimited Pass will not count towards any offers or bonuses. Redemption of BIG Points is also not allowed for the purchase of the AirAsia Unlimited Pass.
When purchasing the AirAsia Unlimited Pass, passengers must ensure their details in the BIG Member account (i.e. name and date of birth) are as per passport or identity card. These details will be used for booking during the redemption process.

Touch ‘n Go and Shell Malaysia just announced that they will introduce RFID fuelling through the use of TNG RFID. They also announced two promotions to promote TNG RFID at Shell stations!
TNG + Shell Announce RFID Fuel Payment
Touch ‘n Go and Shell Malaysia will sign a memorandum of understanding to introduce and use TNG RFID for fuel payments at Shell stations nationwide.
The introduction of TNG RFID fuelling will add a new benefit for TNG RFID users that currently number over 1 million to date.
The TNG RFID tag has an embedded radio-frequency chip, and is installed on the windscreen or headlamp of the vehicle.
An overhead scanner at the fuelling bay will read the signal from the TNG RFID tag, and deduct the cost of the fuel from the user’s TNG eWallet.
TNG + Shell Announce RFID + eWallet Offers
To spur the use of TNG RFID, Touch ‘n Go and Shell also announced two offers :
15 February to 31 March 2020 : They will give away 10,000 free TNG RFID tags at select Shell stations to car owners who spend at least RM 50 using their Touch ‘n Go eWallet.
17 February to 14 March 2020 : e-Tunai recipients will receive a cash back of RM 5 + RM 2 when they spend a minimum of RM 20 using their Touch ‘n Go eWallet at Shell stations nationwide.

Thanks to massive investment in the HUAWEI AppGallery, it has seen a massive expansion in the number of apps. More importantly – many key apps were launched within a month!
Over a period of just two months – from September to October 2019 – there were 200,000 new users of HUAWEI App Gallery, with 100 million apps downloaded in Malaysia alone!
On a daily basis, HUAWEI reported over 1.5 million downloads, and that 27 popular or critical apps were added in a single month.
SuperSensing Cine Camera
Malaysians LOVE to take photos and videos with their smartphones, and they are very particular about image quality and camera features.
The HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro is particularly popular because of its 40 MP SuperSensing Cine Camera, which supports 4K 60fps video recording, with these groundbreaking features :
This is a really cool feature that seems to have impressed many Malaysians.
Its 3D Depth Sensing Camera and a Gesture Sensor are used to identify your face and detect your gestures, which are then used by its Tiny-Core NPU to interpret your gestures.
By simply looking at the screen, and swiping your hands, you can “command” the Mate 30 Series smartphone to perform many commands like unlocking the screen, change pages, and take screenshots.
AI Private View + AI Auto Rotate
The HUAWEI Mate 30 Series smartphones offer an AI Private View mode, which hides your private messages if it cannot recognised the face of the person viewing them!
They also have an AI Auto-Rotate capability, that uses the front 3D camera to analyse your eye orientation to automatically determine if they should lock the rotation of the display.
Multi-Screen Collaboration
The HUAWEI Multi-Screen Collaboration feature is incredibly powerful and useful.
Enabling it lets you easily drag-and-drop files between your Mate 30 Series smartphone and laptop. It even lets you use your laptop’s keyboard to type messages directly on your phone!
Long Battery Life!
Malaysians are prodigious smartphone users, which is why we always have a power bank handy!
The HUAWEI Mate 30 Series smartphones though, comes with a large 4200 mAh (Mate30) or 4500 mAh (Mate30 Pro) battery, which means they last a full day and then some!
And when it’s time to recharge them, it appears Malaysians love its super-fast 40W wired charging and world-leading 27W wireless charging capabilities!
HUAWEI Mate30 Telco Deals For Malaysia!
It looks like more Malaysians will soon become HUAWEI Mate30 owners, thanks to a bevy of new offers from Malaysia’s top telcos. Let’s check out the new HUAWEI Mate 30 Series telco deals for Malaysia!
