AirAsia and AirAsia X has introduced 139 brand new Fly-Thru routes, making flying on multiple-city flights a seamless travel experience without the hassle of numerous check-ins, transit visas or multiple baggage transfers. Effective immediately, AirAsia / AirAsia X Fly-Thru guests will receive an onward flight boarding pass from the first point of embarkation and will be allowed to bypass immigration clearance at the airline’s Fly-Thru hubs—Kuala Lumpur (klia2) or Bangkok-Don Mueang (DMK)—with all check-in baggage tagged for automatic transfer to the consecutive flight, to the final destination.
The newly launched Fly-Thru services from India are available from Tiruchirappalli, Kochi, Kolkata and Chennai to Penang (via Kuala Lumpur), from Kochi, Kolkata, Chennai to Langkawi / Bali (via Kuala Lumpur) and from Jakarta to Kolkata and Chennai (via Kuala Lumpur).
