Eurosummer and the associated Insta bragging may be over, but there’s still plenty of travel to do. If you’re planning a trip in the near future, you can get a cheeky little bonus trip on Malaysia Airlines.
To help encourage travelers to spend more time in Malaysia, especially in cities outside of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Airlines is throwing in extra flights for a mini trip.
You can enjoy this deal as long as your international flight is via Malaysia. So if you’re heading to London, why not stop by Malaysia for a few days on the way? All you have to do is pay the tax on the award flight, which costs less than a beer at the airport.
So how does it work? good question. When you go to book an international flight on the Malaysia Airlines website, you’ll see a pop-up window asking if you’d like to take on the extra travel.
When you click on an offer, you’ll see a range of destinations in Peninsular Malaysia to choose from. Offers include Alor Setar, Langkawi, Johor Bahru, Kota Bharu, Kuala Terengganu, Kuantan and Penang. All the happy destinations that will make your Instagram followers jealous. Plus, what’s not to love about Malaysia being home to orangutans and pygmy elephants? !
Pick your date and let’s go! The deal applies to both outbound and return flights. Maybe you’re visiting family in the UK and need a little alone time to R&R on the way back. Go for it!
The deal with Malaysia Airlines will run until the end of the year, with flights due to take off by March. You can also get a quote through your travel agent if you want someone else to do all the organizing for you.
