With the relaxation of the remaining travel restrictions in the&nbsp;Asia-Pacific&nbsp;region in early 2023, travel industry recovery is well underway. Ancillary services that delight customers and drive revenue will be an essential tool for airline, hotel and rail companies as travel returns to – or even exceeds – pre-pandemic levels. Today's travellers are looking for streamlined travel experiences with a focus on comfort and innovative services to improve their journeys.

For consumers, ancillary services such as upgrades or the ability to reserve open seats beside them on their flight can make travel more enjoyable, giving them room to stretch out and relax, or enabling them to experience premium products and services that might otherwise be out of reach.

"We are thrilled to join forces with AirAsia to support them in driving meaningful ancillary revenue through incredible traveler experiences," said Plusgrade CEO,&nbsp;Ken Harris. "We look forward to supporting AirAsia as they continue to innovate and develop new products and services for their customers, and to expanding our footprint in the thriving APAC region."

Ms&nbsp;Karen Chan, Group Chief Commercial Officer at AirAsia added: "This collaboration will enable us to offer more passengers the chance to access our premium products and services, such as our award winning premium flatbeds or hot seats with extra legroom. We are confident that our guests will love this innovative and seamless way to enhance their travel experience."

AirAsia is the World's Best Low Cost Airline, flying to more than 130 destinations in the region and beyond. Founded in 2001, the airline has flown close to a billion passengers.
