Malaysia Airlines will mount 20 additional frequencies between Kuala Lumpur to Kuching, Sandakan, Tawau and Kota Kinabalu during the Hari Raya peak travel period beginning April 28 until May 8 to accommodate the domestic travel surge.
With the additional frequency with over 7000 seats made available, fares will be dynamically adjusted downwards for customers to enjoy low fares.
Malaysia Airlines will also be offering up to 20% off airfares to all domestic destinations for booking from April 19 to April 27 for immediate travel up to 31 July 2022.
Flights from Kuala Lumpur will begin as low as RM139 for all-in fare to Peninsular Malaysia destinations, from RM209 to Miri, Bintulu, Kuching, Sibu, Sandakan, and from RM262 to Kota Kinabalu, Sandakan, Tawau and Labuan.
“It was never Malaysia Airlines’ intention of driving high fares to cause inconvenience to our customers, especially during the festive season. Airlines globally set the price of flight tickets dynamically, subject to demand and supply and based on the date, time, and availability of seats within a specific timeframe,” Malaysia Airlines Group CEO, Captain Izham Ismail, said in a statement yesterday.
“Fares will also be adjusted with passengers’ willingness to pay due to peak and seasonal trends as well as competitiveness against other airlines. Our load factor has surpassed 90% of our customers purchasing economy class tickets ranging from RM139 to RM1,047 during the peak travel period offered in earlier promotions. We encourage our customers to plan their travel and purchase tickets during the promotion period Malaysia Airlines offers from time to time to ensure they optimize their selection to enjoy our Malaysian Hospitality,” he added.
Added Captain Izham, “Malaysia Airlines has been working closely with the relevant authorities to ensure safe and secure travel following the recent claims of airlines charging high airfares during the festive period. The additional frequencies to high demand sectors, including Sabah and Sarawak, demonstrate our commitment to providing more seats so everyone can reunite with their loved ones during the festive season.”
The airline offers a broad range of airfare tickets through its MH Horizontal Fare Family to fit customers’ preferences and needs. Malaysia Airlines’ Economy Lite Fares offers free cabin baggage of 7kg, complimentary snacks or meals and beverages, and inflight entertainment.
To enjoy maximum flexibility and ease of travel, customers may opt for the Economy Flex Fare that comes with additional benefits, including unlimited date changes, refunds, Go Show flexibility, priority check-in, boarding and check-in baggage allowance of 35kg, all without additional fees incurred.
Meanwhile, students will be able to enjoy up to a 30% discount on airfares when they book via MHexplorer, the airline’s students’ travel programme.
