It is advisable for guests to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours prior to scheduled time of departure for AirAsia flights and at least 4 hours earlier for AirAsia X flights to clear all travel formalities and avoid the expected congestion due to the surge of passenger numbers travelling during this period.

For guests with baggage to check-in, Baggage Drop counters close 60 minutes before flight departure for all AirAsia and AirAsia X flights.

For those who are traveling to and from Singapore, AirAsia is now operating at the new state-of-the-art and fully automated Terminal 4 in Singapore Changi Airport, which can be reached by taxi, private hire cars, bus and personal transportation. Guests departing from Terminal 4 are also advised to arrive 3 hours before departure to ensure sufficient time to move through the new terminal.
Guests with group booking, reduced mobility or with special needs are only allowed to check-in at the counter and should allocate more time to clear all travelling formalities.
