While they’re the ones collecting trophies, you get to do the celebrating — with flight promos from just S$70, so you can treat yourself to a well-deserved trip without torching your bank account.
Skytrax Awards: a big win that can’t be bought
The Skytrax World Airline Awards isn’t just an industry pat on the back — it’s one of the most respected honours in global aviation. And because it’s based entirely on passenger votes, you know it’s the real deal.
This year’s results were drawn from a global survey that ran from September 2024 to May 2025, gathering over 22.3 million entries from travellers across more than 100 nationalities.
And no, airlines don’t pay to enter or win, so this award can’t be bought. Skytrax covers the full cost, from the survey to the ceremony, which took place at the Paris Air Show 2025 on 17 June.

In short: it’s a big deal. And AirAsia earned it fair and square.
Celebrate with S$70 AirAsia promo fares
Winning once or twice is impressive. Winning 16 times in a row, on the other hand, is proof you’re doing something right.
And what AirAsia’s doing right is clear, with a network of over 130 destinations across Asia and a multi-hub strategy that continues to grow. The recent launch of a new route to Tashkent, Uzbekistan via Kuala Lumpur (KL) is just the latest sign that the airline isn’t slowing down anytime soon.

To celebrate its Skytrax win, AirAsia is rolling out promo fares from just S$70 one-way, valid for travel from 2 July 2025 to 31 March 2026.

Or, head down under to Darwin, Australia, where 25°C weather, coastal walks, and laid-back weekend markets offer the perfect escape from both the heat and the urban grind.
Over in Indonesia’s Labuan Bajo, boat trips take you to hidden islands and give you a chance to spot Komodo dragons in the wild. Meanwhile, Jaipur, India brings the colour, from intricate palaces to buzzing bazaars.
