Love is in the air for couples Carmen and Roman del Rosario.
It’s in the hush of the trees, in the rumbling of the sea… and literally, in
free airplane seats. The lovebirds are
flying to Davao, their domestic destination of choice, to spend their post
Valentine date and 44th wedding anniversary after winning free seats
and exclusive treats in AirAsia Zest’s #LoveisintheAir promo.
They may be well-travelled here and abroad yet their
domestic destination to Davao will perhaps be their most unforgettable
adventure yet. After all, it is a gift
from their daughter Christine, who decided to submit their photo in the social
media contest.

“I decided to make
them their own Twitter account and post their lovely pictures together so that they
can join the contest. I want them to celebrate Valentine’s and their wedding
anniversary in a tourist destination, where they will surely get to rest and
enjoy each other’s company,” Christine said.
Their winning photo is one of their recent trips in Hong
Kong where they enjoyed their visit in Disneyland and posted with Mickey and
Minnie Mouse. The #LoveisintheAir promo was launched last January 27 to
February 7 as a hashtag contest where couples, pairs, partners, or duos may win
free trips by sharing and posting their best photo together through Twitter,
Facebook, and Instagram.
“Mr. Carmen and Roman del Rosario are our top couple winners
because they prove that you can still discover new adventures and places even
if you are already in the prime of your age,” AirAsia Philippines CEO Maan
Hontiveros said.
Carmen, 62, and Roman, 69, are one of the 90 lucky pairs who
won two free seats to any domestic destination. It is a Valentine’s treat from
AirAsia Zest, the low cost carrier that flies hand in hand with AirAsia, which
is voted as the World’s Best Low Cost Carrier for five consecutive years.
“We’ve selected winners from over 2,000 entries, whose love
story touched our hearts. We got kids who wanted us to fly their parents and
grandparents who’ve never travelled by air, a son wanted to travel with his
foster mom and couples excited to fly to their romantic getaways. Their stories
represent AirAsia’s dream of making everyone fly through our affordable fares
and extensive network,” Hontiveros said.
Meanwhile, in aid of boosting tourism and igniting one’s passion
for travelling, AirAsia Zest is currently offering 20% discounted promo seats
to all domestic and international flights with travel period from February 17
to May 18, 2014.
