Despite Higher Fuel Surcharges, Air Premia Reduces Passenger Costs with Limited-Time Promotion

Air Premia, the only hybrid airline in South Korea, announced on May 8 that it will be offering a limited-time special fare promotion across all 9 of its routes.

This promotion will run from 10:00 a.m. on May 11 through May 17, with ticket sales available only on select dates. Fare prices will vary by date even within the same period, and the lowest fares will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis for a limited number of seats.

As the recent surge in global oil prices has led to fuel surcharges reaching level 33, raising the overall cost of air tickets, Air Premia has adjusted its airfares to maintain price competitiveness based on the total ticket price.

This is the first special fare event since the fuel surcharge reached its highest level, and it is notable that competitive fares are being offered even based on total prices, including all surcharges and taxes.

For example, on the Honolulu route, the round-trip airfare starts at 180,000 won, with a fuel surcharge and taxes amounting to 820,500 won, bringing the total round-trip price (for economy class) to 1,005,000 won and up.

On dates when the lowest promotional fares apply, total round-trip prices (economy class) start from: LA 1,356,500 won; New York 1,428,300 won; San Francisco 1,206,500 won; Honolulu 1,005,000 won; Washington D.C. 1,728,300 won; Narita 297,800 won; Bangkok 555,300 won; Da Nang 482,000 won; and Hong Kong 424,200 won.

For Wide Premium Class, total round-trip prices start from: LA 2,206,500 won; New York 2,628,300 won; San Francisco 2,106,500 won; Honolulu 1,720,500 won; Washington D.C. 3,118,300 won; Narita 397,800 won; Bangkok 815,300 won; Da Nang 642,000 won; and Hong Kong 524,200 won.

The travel period eligible for these lowest fares varies by route. For North American routes, the fares apply from May 11 through February 28 of the following year. For Asian routes, the fares are available from May 11 through October 24.

An Air Premia official stated, "Despite the increase in fuel surcharges, this promotion focuses on reducing the total fare burden for customers," adding, "We have made it possible for travelers to continue to meet their travel needs at reasonable prices."
