AirAsia has, since October 2021, made it mandatory for all passengers to check-in via the airasia Super App. And recently AirAsia has sent out the following email to inform and remind all the customers about the change on the check-in policy.
Dear Guest
Thank you for choosing AirAsia!
In the highest interest of safety and well-being of all our passengers and employees, AirAsia has, since October 2021, made it mandatory for all passengers to check-in via the airasia Super App. This is an integral part of our effort to further strengthen our Covid-19 mitigation plan through contactless operations.
Since then, and thanks to your support and cooperation, as many as 95% of our passengers in Malaysia are already utilising our contactless self-check-in facilities, either via the airasia Super App or website.
If you are still checking-in via the website, we strongly encourage you to migrate and upgrade to the airasia Super App. Our intention is to have everyone migrate to the airasia Super App as it not only provides an extensive range of services for you to enjoy but also enhanced digital contactless services all under one app, so we all can do our part in mitigating the risk of Covid-19 infection.
Usage of the airasia Super App is free of charge and it can be downloaded from the Apple App Store, Google Play Store or Huawei AppGallery at no cost.
In this regard, please be advised that from 1 April 2022, you will not be able to utilise counter service for check-in at all airports in Malaysia if you did not perform prior self-check-in via the airasia Super App.
Only exempted passengers in the following categories will be accepted for counter check-in:
- Senior citizens aged 70 and above
- Bookings made under Malaysian Armed Forces and Government warrants
- Passengers on charter flights
- Passengers who have self checked-in but need to reprint boarding passes
- Passengers with reduced mobility holding a valid Persons with Disability (OKU) card
- Group bookings of 10 passengers and more
- Young Passengers travelling alone (aged 12-16)
- Passengers affected by last minute schedule changes and flight cancellations
- Passengers who perform seat upgrade and/or add-on purchases at the check-in counter
- Passengers who purchase last minute tickets beyond the check-in cutoff time
- Passengers affected by system outage* of the super app, website or kiosk
- Passengers who were not assigned a seat during self check-in
- Passengers required by Airlines to verify travel documents at the counter
- Corporate Full Flex and Premium Flex guests
The counter check-in service will strictly be for the exempted groups of passengers only. Passengers who do not belong to any of the above groups would not be able to use the counter service, even for a payment.
With this, the existing counter check-in fee will be removed and no longer be applicable in Malaysia effective 1 April 2022.
For the full list of exempted categories of passengers eligible for counter check-in service and further information on contactless self-check-in via the airasia Super App, please visit our Support Page.
Thank you again for choosing AirAsia. We look forward to seeing you onboard.
With warmest regards
AirAsia

Q. What is an E-Boarding Pass?
The E-Boarding Pass is a paperless boarding pass that allows guests to clear airport security/immigration and board a flight.
Q. Where can the E-Boarding Pass be used?
E-Boarding Passes can be used on the following flights:
- International flights departing Hong Kong (China), Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, and Australia.
- Domestic flights within Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia.
- Philippines domestic flights departing Manila, Cebu, Kalibo, Tacloban, Puerto Princesa, Davao and Tagbilaran.
Q. When will I receive the E-Boarding Pass?
The E-Boarding Pass will be displayed after the mobile check-in process is completed on the AirAsia check-in app.
Q. With the E-Boarding Pass, do I need to go to a KIOSK to print my boarding pass?
No, this is not required. The E-Boarding Pass allows guests with no checked baggage to proceed ‘straight to the gate’ for their flights.
However, guests with checked baggage must do a baggage drop at least 60 minutes prior to scheduled time of departure.
Q. Is the E-Boarding Pass option available on all smartphones?
Yes, it is. Please ensure the mobile check-in is performed using only the AirAsia Mobile check-in app.
Q. There are 5 guests travelling in one booking number. If I check-in using the AirAsia Mobile app, will we be given an E-Boarding Pass for each guest?
No. The E-Boarding Pass is not available for more than one guest travelling in one booking number.
Q. I have an E-Boarding Pass for my flight from Thailand to Singapore. However, my phone battery is low and I now can’t display the pass. What should I do?
Proceed to see an AirAsia check-in agent/staff at the baggage drop counter and we will print a counter boarding pass for you.
Q. I have a Fly-Thru booking from Phuket to Sydney via Kuala Lumpur. Can I get the E-Boarding for my flight from Phuket (HKT) to Kuala Lumpur (KUL)?
No. You will not be issued the E-Boarding Pass for HKT-KUL as this is a Fly-Thru booking with an Australian city as its final destination.
Q. I have a pre-booked meal. How can I claim my meal onboard?
Simply present your E-Boarding Pass to our cabin crew to redeem your meal.
Q. I do not have any checked baggage. Using my E-Boarding Pass, can I go to the airport just before boarding commences?
We advise you to come to the airport as earliest as possible to avoid any congestion at the security and immifration checkpoints. Please note that AirAsia boarding gates will close 20 minutes prior to the scheduled time of departure.
Please also take note that guests departing from Sabah/Sarawak are required to fill up the E-Boarding Pass Slip which is available at the immigration counter.
