AirAsia launched back in March an exciting product (read more here and here) especially for those living in Kuala Lumpur called Unlimited Pass.
The airline was selling passes for merely 499 MYR ($119) each that allows unlimited travel for a year on most long/medium-haul destinations. AirAsia has extended the valid travel dates through June 30, 2021, from March 2, giving members four more months to utilize it.
You can access AirAsia’s pages for the T&Cs and FAQs here.
Here’s more information about the product:
Member must make the booking at minimum 14 days before the scheduled departure. Member can have up to 3 no-shows, after which the pass is forfeited.
AirAsia has now released a list of eligible routes:
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

Conclusion
It is good that AirAsia realized that their Unlimited Pass purchasers weren’t getting the deal that they originally bought because of the Covid-19 travel restrictions and entry bans.
Extending the validity by four months through June 30, 2021, should give enough time for everyone to recoup the price and then some if not this year but definitely in 2021.
