As temperatures soar across the Philippines and neighboring countries, AirAsia Philippines encourages travelers to prioritize responsible travel while embarking on their summer adventures. Despite daily temperatures averaging at a scorching 35°C and a Heat Index peaking at 43°C, the enthusiasm for travel remains undeterred.

It’s advisable to have travel insurance that covers medical expenses, ensuring peace of mind throughout the journey.
