New Year Cheer with Domestic Dazzle on Malaysia Airlines


Malaysia Airlines is welcoming the new year 2013 by offering attractive fares to 15 destinations across the airline’s domestic network starting from today.

The special fares, open for booking and payment from today till January 17, are valid for travel from January 5 till March 31, except during embargo periods.

According to Regional Senior Vice President for Malaysia & ASEAN, Muzammil Mohamad, “To know Malaysia is to love Malaysia, and we encourage Malaysians to cherish our multi-culturalism that has made Malaysia a unique country and home to hundreds of colourful festivals. With Malaysia Airlines' New Year deals, you can experience more of this cultural diversity and richness."

“Choose our offers to enjoy excellent inflight products and services, and other full service compliments to participate in the many events and festivals in Malaysia. Plan quickly for journeys at the best prices,” he added.

Among the attractive Economy class all-inclusive round trip air fares offered are deals between Kuala Lumpur and destinations in Peninsular Malaysia from RM276, and from RM458 for selected direct flights between Peninsular Malaysia to Sabah or Sarawak. Return travel between Kuala Lumpur and Sandakan starts from an amazing low of RM372 while the direct connection between the Malaysian capital and Tawau starts from RM558. Likewise Business class travel within Peninsular Malaysia starts from an affordable fare of RM770, or a special RM1570 to Kuching, RM1770 to Miri, RM1970 to Kota Kinabalu and RM2070 to Labuan and Bintulu.

Also up for grabs are affordable return fares for travel within Sarawak. Economy class travel between state capital Kuching and the cities of Miri, Sibu, Bintulu, as well as Kota Kinabalu in Sabah starts from RM276. Business class travel starts from RM770.  

Similar attractive fares are also offered for point-to-point intra-Sabah travel covering Kota Kinabalu, Tawau and Sandakan, starting from RM276 and RM770 for Business class.

One of Malaysia's first carnival attractions this month is the 11th Royal Langkawi International Regatta from 7-12 January 2013 at the duty free island. Here visitors get to see thrilling live action as yachts from various countries contend on the high seas. This prestigious event draws participation of yachtsmen and sailors from across the region.

Customers can also plan to patronise the 18th Pasir Gudang World Kite Festival that will be held from 20-24 February 2013 in Johor. This colourful festival will see international contests, demonstrations, spectacular ground displays, and some of the most amazing kites from around the world.  

The 18th edition of Le Tour de Langkawi from 21 February to 2 March 2013 that will take competitors through more challenging routes around Penincular Malaysia. This year, cyclists will climb up both Cameron Highlands and Genting Highlands, will have a prelude in Langkawi on 20 February before the final race at Kuala Terengganu. Malaysians can take advantage of Malaysia Airlines’ competitive airfares to see the action in Langkawi and Kuala Terengganu.

Come March, Kuala Lumpur is the place to be at. With the F1 Grand Prix at Sepang comes the Malaysia GP Sale at shopping malls across Kuala Lumpur. For a spot of nature, why not visit the internationally-reknown Putrajaya Water Festival from 1-31 March 2013 held in the administrative capital city of Malaysia. 

For travelers who wish to experience the unique culture and traditions of East Malaysia's many ethnic tribes, there is the Magavau ritual ceremony performed by the Bobohizans (high priestess) whose task is to search and salvage the lost Bambaazon (rice spirit) who are hurt or separated from the main mystical body. The actual ceremonies will be held on 20 January at the Monsopiad Cultural Village in Kota Kinabalu. In Sarawak, the Rajang River Regatta takes place for three days in mid-March with lots of watery contests and events - yet another delight for both locals and foreign tourists.

All fares during this Malaysia New Year's promotion are inclusive of taxes and surcharges. However these offers are not available on selected promotional classes during the weekends of Thaipusam, Chinese New Year and school holidays in the last week of March 2013.

Customers can book and pay for these offers through all Malaysia Airlines’ distribution channels like www.malaysiaairlines.com, Malaysia Airlines' 24-hour toll free number 1 300 88 3000, MHmobile, Malaysia Airlines ticket offices and appointed travel agents throughout Malaysia.
