I'm thrilled to find out that AirAsia Philippines will be moving its flights from Diosdado Macapagal International Airport in Clark to NAIA Terminal 4 in Manila. With this move, AirAsia is also joining forces with Zest Air and the partnership will be known as AirAsia Zest.
I've actually had a nice experience with AirAsia when I went to Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia. It's always known that low-cost airlines serve instant food and has a cramped leg room but to tell you the truth, AirAsia is not your typical low cost airline. You won't say that "you get what you pay for" because the leg room is just enough for your knees not to reach the backside of the seat in front. As for the on board meals, you can pre-order when you book your ticket. The meals are reasonably priced because the portions are just enough to fill you up. Let me just share the meal that I had:
Exhibit A: Roast Chicken with Barbecue Sauce - Not bad and it's not too spicy for my taste.
Exhibit B: This water container - I found it cute. Haha.
I can't remember how much our airfare was at that time but I remember it being cheaper than 2,000 pesos than the other low-cost airline that flies to KK. It may not be that huge but hello, it's still 2,000 pesos saved! Not to mention, the flight schedules are in sync with my schedule so I said YAY to AirAsia.
Other people may say otherwise but all in all, my experience made me consider flying with them again. However the major setback of AirAsia back then is that it's only based in Clark. I don't like the hassle of travelling from Laguna or Manila to Clark. Personally, this AirAsia in Manila thing is putting a smile on my face as it gives me many options whenever I want to fly somewhere...and hide. Haha.
AirAsia Zest flies from Manila to any of these local destinations: Cebu, Davao, Kalibo (Boracay), Puerto Princesa, Tagbilaran, and Cagayan De Oro; and these international destinations: Kuala Lumpur, Kota Kinabalu, Shanghai, and Incheon. Although they still have limited areas, the best part of that is AirAsia Zest can take you to your destination at affordable prices.
That being said, along with my wanderlust and recent penchant for "top lists", I have made a Top 5 list of the AirAsia Zest destinations that I want to visit someday:
