Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri yesterday announced that RM2.7 million worth of e-vouchers has been allocated for Malaysians to purchase domestic flight tickets online. The e-vouchers, worth between RM25 and RM100 can be redeemed by 45,879 Malaysians until the end of 2022.

Did you know that before the pandemic, the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore air route was the busiest international air route in the world? Well, the route may become more environmentally-friendly if all of the flights would follow this maiden passenger flight by Malaysia Airlines using sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

With the recent announcement by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob that our country’s border will reopen this 1 April 2022, now's the perfect time for us Malaysians to plan for a trip overseas. In fact, most airline companies are currently offering discounts and other promotions to attract people to use their services again following the announcement.

One of those companies is national carrier Malaysia Airlines, which today announced a special partnership with hoolah that allows for travellers to pay for flight tickets by spreading the cost over 3 monthly interest-free instalments. In case you didn’t know, hoolah is Asia’s leading omnichannel Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) platform which makes the whole thing possible.

Yesterday, Malaysia has already begun taking the first wave of vaccination and it will be rolled out to the second and third wave in the following months. On top of that, it seems that we will have to use a new Digital Travel Health Pass in the future after the pandemic.

Earlier today, Malaysia Airlines recently posted an update on their Facebook page stating that due to the current COVID-19 outbreak, any customers who booked flights between 10 and 31 March 2020 will be eligible to re-book their flights to another date for free. However, it is best to note that you’re only eligible to re-book only once for free and any subsequent booking will be subjected to the usual rescheduling fee.

Maxis and Malaysia Airlines are now collaborating to offer both Maxis (postpaid) and Hotlink (prepaid) users up to 10% discounts and free upgrades from economy to business class (selected destinations) with their Malaysia Airlines Travelicious Deals. The 10% discount is available if you make a flight booking from 12 to 13 August 2018 for travel from 19 August 2018 to 30 June 2019 via the MyMaxis, Hotlink RED, MyMaxis Biz and Hotlink Postpaid Flex apps.
