Flash Deal: Get up to 28% off all hotels in Southeast Asia with AirAsia

  • Discount is capped at MYR 50 per booking (MYR 179 spending)
  • Room rate must be at least MYR 200 (I know, doesn’t make it “28% off” technically)

  • No minimum nights
  • Compared to other OTAs, airasia.com has a smaller list of hotels

Examples and comparisons

Agoda has been really aggressive with their offers recently, offering up to 25% discount on hotel bookings. However, although the Agoda has a longer list of hotels available, discounts are usually only applicable to selected hotels and excludes popular chain brands from Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt and Accor.

As mentioned above, this AirAsia deal applies to all hotels, chain hotels included.

After playing around the website for a bit, I found that the amount of savings that I can get with this deal is pretty good!

Example 1: Pullman Kuala Lumpur Bangsar

In the example below, booking Pullman Kuala Lumpur Bangsar through this deal is easily cheaper than the (already cheap) “Red Hot Rooms” deal that is currently available to Accor Plus members, on the exact same dates.

Plus, you would even get free cancellation for flexibility!

Is this a good deal?

Getting 6% to 10% discounts in Agoda, Expedia or booking.com is normal. That’s the minimum discount range that you should be getting for your hotel bookings, all year long.

With that in mind, getting 28% (or so) instant savings on your hotel bookings is a fantastic deal, especially if you can find something you like in the MYR 200 to MYR 300 price range.

AirAsia is offering an unbeatable deal for Southeast Asia hotel bookings. Consider this option if you have travel plans in the coming months!
