Malaysia Airline gives away free stopover travel: here's how to get it

Malaysia Airlines has a decidedly attractive offer for its customers. Read on to find out how to travel for free. It's all part of the post-Covid recovery program, which travel enthusiasts should take advantage of. It goes without saying that there are some rules to follow in order to take the flight for free. Here is everything you should know about the offer related to Malaysia Airlines stopovers.

Free flights with Malaysia

Malaysia has reopened its doors, knowing that the fear of coronavirus cannot drive a perpetual closure. It is time to take back our lives. Doors have been open since April 1, with the national airline going all out to encourage tourists to return to this paradise. Opting for the carrier gives you access to the option of an extra bonus trip for all those booking flights from the UK to Asia and Oceania.

This means adding a free stopover in Malaysia, so you can treat yourself to a mini-vacation before you start your initially budgeted one. This is an advantageous offer, to say the least, for those who have a lot of time to invest in their vacation. It is possible to Take advantage of it until December 31, 2022 for travel until March 31, 2023.

How to get the bonus flight

To qualify for the Bonus Side Trip offer with Malaysia, you must book an eligible flight departing from the UK. Here are the eligible destinations:

• Australia
• New Zealand
• Indonesia
• Thailand
• Singapore
• Philippines
• Vietnam
• Myanmar
• Cambodia
• Hong Kong
• China
• Taiwan
• Japan
• Korea

The chance offered is to add a bonus side trip from Kuala Lumpur. Even in this case, however, there are limitations. In fact, here are the destinations you can add to your itinerary on this very low-cost stopover:

• Penang - Location famous for its cuisine. It is the gastronomic capital of Malaysia. Well known are the local street markets, as well as dishes such as Char Koay Teow and Laksa;
• Langkawi - One of Malaysia's best-known destinations. An archipelago that boasts 99 islands in the heart of the Andaman Sea. So many resorts to choose from, all packed with amenities and dreamy views. Those looking for a romantic getaway are in the right place;
• Johor Bahru - It is located at the far end of Malaysia and is very intriguing, since it offers a mix of culture and exploratory possibilities. A more active and sporty type of vacation, ideal for travelers, and perhaps less passive and placid, as often required by tourists who just want to recharge their batteries;
• Kuala Terengganu - Unforgettable sceneries characterize this area, so rich in enchanting places to visit. The list is long, from the Crystal Mosque to Lang Tangah Beach to the coral-rich Perhentian Islands;
• Kota Bharu - Capital of Kelantan, known because it is culturally very rich. Taking part in one of the proposed historical tours is a must, going in search of the true face of these territories, perhaps opting for a trip to Pasar Besar Siti Khadijah, among the most famous markets;
• Alor Setar - Capital of Kedah and seat of the longest royal lineage, Alor Setar. A land that has much to offer, including vistas and adventures;
• Kuantan - True tourist center very rich in places to visit, from the modern Sultan Ahmad Shah State Mosque to Sungai Pandan Falls.

The cost of a round-trip ticket from Kuala Lumpur, to one of these locations, will be covered entirely by the airline. To speak, however, of an entirely free bonus stopover is not entirely correct. Passengers are in fact required to pay the taxes, fees and charges for the side trip.
