Air Asia Blogger’s Community Party in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia

We never expected we’d be back in Kuala Lumpur only a month after our 1st visit! This time, we got invited by Air Asia to represent the Philippines to their annual Air Asia Bloggers Community Party held at the Air Asia Academy in Kuala Lumpur! Gathered there were the most influential bloggers of Southeast Asia for an afternoon of extraordinary experiences, fun and loads of surprises from Air Asia!

for this flight, we had to travel to the Diosdado Macapagal Airport in Clark, Pampanga

excited to fly with Air Asia for the first time

Here are the happenings..

As you know, we love flying and trying out various airlines. Last weekend was actually our first time to fly with Air Asia and honestly, we were impressed with the whole experience! The seats were of great condition, the plane itself looked very sharp and shiny. The staff was very warm and even their audio system was so good that we actually understood the flight instructions perfectly! IMPRESSIVE!

Although we had no idea on what to expect during the event, we were sure that the experience was gonna be worthwhile! The Philippine delegation was warmly welcomed upon arrival at the Air Asia Academy! The venue looked very hip and the atmosphere felt like all knew each other. We had the opportunity to meet fellow bloggers from other countries like Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia! It was the perfect time to network and exchange business cards with them!

After the opening ceremony, we were grouped for the challenges that afternoon. Sir Melo Villareal was assigned to the black team. My partner Frank on the other hand was with the green while I was assigned to the red. Each team did an assortment of challenges ala “Amazing Race” where our physical and wits were tested. During these challenges, we also got the chance to learn and experience airline operations and got the chance to know more about Air Asia.
