Malaysia Airlines has introduced enhanced economy class flexible fare options across its network in an effort to offer passengers more personalised choices based on their individual travel needs and preferences, the carrier said.
The carrier says all passengers will now have access to its three fare options (lite, basic, and flex), on all routes except Malaysia to Japan and Japan to Malaysia, Jeddah and Madinah starting today.
The flexible fare options were previously limited to domestic, ASEAN and South Asian destinations.
“With the world slowly recovering from the brunt of the Covid-19 pandemic, and as our passengers begin to travel again, Malaysia Airlines seeks to take them to the skies without the burden of worry, with a truly hassle-free experience,” said Malaysia Airlines Group chief executive officer Captain Izham Ismail.
The fare brands consist of Economy Lite, Economy Basic and Economy Flex where each fare family offers different benefits such as baggage allowance, seat selections, and priority services. These fare brands also offer different flexibility in terms of refunds and rebooking.
Below are details showing what each fair option offers:
**The carrier says the availability of neighbour-free seats is subject to “local International Social Distancing (ISD) regulations”.
Flex fare passengers can also “skip the line” with priority check-in, boarding and baggage privileges as an added bonus.
