Narrative:
We were at cruise at FL350. When doing the level off checks; the ca noted that there was lower than normal yellow hydraulic fluid quantity.we continued flight and [enroute] we received an ECAM alert 'low yellow hydraulic pressure.' we followed the ECAM and turned off the associated pumps; referenced the QRH and [flight manual] and made the decision to continue. [Later] we got 'low yellow hydraulic quantity.' we then ran the ECAM and reviewed once again the QRH and [flight manual]. Looking at the associated system failures; we determined that on landing we would be unable to get off the runway without assistance. At that point; we received no land as soon as possible message and made the [decision] to continue to [our destination]. We then informed ATC of the malfunction; requesting services to help us to vacate the runway and requesting the longest runway due to the malfunctions. We landed uneventfully and were escorted off the runway by operations and a super tug.

Title: A320 FO reported continuing to destination after loss of Yellow Hydraulic System.
Narrative: We were at cruise at FL350. When doing the level off checks; the CA noted that there was lower than normal Yellow Hydraulic Fluid Quantity.We continued flight and [enroute] we received an ECAM alert 'LOW YELLOW HYDRAULIC PRESSURE.' We followed the ECAM and turned off the associated pumps; referenced the QRH and [flight manual] and made the decision to continue. [Later] we got 'LOW YELLOW HYDRAULIC QUANTITY.' We then ran the ECAM and reviewed once again the QRH and [flight manual]. Looking at the associated system failures; we determined that on landing we would be unable to get off the runway without assistance. At that point; we received no land ASAP message and made the [decision] to continue to [our destination]. We then informed ATC of the malfunction; requesting services to help us to vacate the runway and requesting the longest runway due to the malfunctions. We landed uneventfully and were escorted off the runway by operations and a super tug.
