AirAsia wants passengers to arrive three hours before flights

KUALA LUMPUR,— AirAsia Bhd has asked its passengers, who are flying during the Hari Raya Aidilfitri holiday season, to be at the airport three hours before departure time and clear their travel formalities as early as possible to avoid possible congestion.

The budget carrier said major roads leading to the airport and the airport terminal are expected to be congested due to the surge in passenger numbers during the festive period.

“As the airport check-in counters are also likely to be congested, passengers are advised to use our web check in service for their travel convenience to avoid missing flights due to possible congestion.

“Web check-in could be performed upon booking confirmation and up to 60 minutes before departure,” the frills-free carrier said in statement today.
