Manila, Philippines — As the 2025 midterm elections approach, with the campaign period set to commence tomorrow, February 11, AirAsia Philippines encourages all travelers to familiarize themselves with election-related travel regulations. By doing so, guests can ensure a safe, smooth, and hassle-free journey amidst the bustling electoral atmosphere. Embracing these guidelines will help foster a more organized travel experience as the nation gears up for this pivotal democratic event.

Travelers are strongly advised to allocate additional time for their journeys—at least 2 hours for domestic flights and 3 hours for international flights. This recommendation takes into account the anticipated surge of fellow passengers at the airport, as well as the potential delays at security checkpoints along the major routes leading to the terminal. By allowing for this extra time, guests can navigate the airport experience with greater ease and peace of mind, ensuring a smoother start to their trip.

In adherence to the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) directive, AirAsia also advises its guests on the strict compliance to the nationwide election gun ban. Guests seeking exemption from this security procedure may verify the requirements from the COMELEC website.

Book Early for the Midterm Elections and Summer Rush

As the May 12, 2025, midterm elections draw near, coinciding with the bustling summer travel season, AirAsia encourages travelers to plan ahead and secure their journeys. To ensure you have the freedom to choose your ideal travel dates and lock in the most competitive fares, booking your flights in advance is highly recommended. Don’t miss the chance to embark on your summer adventures with the peace of mind that comes from early planning.

“We are expecting a significant surge in passenger traffic in the months leading to May, as it coincides with both the summer travel rush and the return of voters to their provinces for the midterm elections. To avoid any travel disruptions, we urge our guests to plan ahead and book early — especially for high-demand routes like Caticlan, Kalibo, Puerto Princesa and Tagbilaran,” AirAsia Philippines Communications and Public Affairs Head First Officer Steve Dailisan shares.

AirAsia Philippines is reminding its international travelers to diligently complete the electronic travel (e-travel) form using the e-gov app. This essential step aims to enhance the efficiency of processing at the airport, ensuring a smoother and more streamlined experience for all passengers.
