Our beloved entrepreneur and AirAsia boss, Tony Fernandes, has once again found himself in a travel predicament that’s got everyone talking.
Last year, Tony had to grab a Singapore Airlines flight after AirAsia was fully booked, leaving him without a seat.
And this year? The story repeats—but with Thai Airways stepping in.
Tony shared this travel twist on his Instagram, explaining that AirAsia’s flights were completely sold out, leaving him with no choice but to opt for a Thai Airways flight to Beijing.
Captioning the post with his signature humour, he wrote, “Continuing my travels. I must fly more than a crew. Onto Beijing on @thaiairways. AirAsia again sold out. Love my tracksuit @danawhite,” alongside a smiling selfie from his window seat.
Netizens Are Here for It!
Of course, the post quickly went viral, with netizens chiming in with witty responses and theories:
“Bro is reviewing his rivals again!” one user teased.
“Loving this ‘research’ journey, @tonyfernandes! Always improving your baby, AirAsia. But the real question is, how are the passengers next to you reacting?” added another.
“Amazing PR move from a smart businessman! Boss always has a seat, but this is great PR showing AirAsia is always packed,” another netizen commented.
Marketing Strategy or Just Tony Being Tony?
So, what’s going on here? Is this a clever marketing tactic or just Tony’s knack for turning a full flight into a funny story?
Whatever the case, Tony’s post has brought a good laugh and maybe even sparked some travel plans.
