Sydney, June 13: Malaysia Airlines is giving international travellers the chance to explore even more of Malaysia – at no extra cost – through its enhanced Bonus Side Trip (BST) programme.
Whether you’re transiting through Kuala Lumpur or planning an extended stay, Malaysia Airlines now lets you tag on a free domestic return flight to one of seven stunning Malaysian destinations, seamlessly built into your international ticket fare.
From the white-sand beaches of Langkawi to the culinary charms of Penang, or the cultural richness of Kuala Terengganu, Alor Star, Kuantan, Johor Bahru, and Kota Bharu, travellers can double their adventure and uncover more of Malaysia’s unique character without the hassle of extra bookings or hidden charges.
Unlike traditional stopover packages, the Bonus Side Trip is fully integrated into the booking process – turning any international visit into a memorable two-in-one travel experience.
It’s part of the airline’s wider commitment to spotlight Malaysia’s hidden gems and support Visit Malaysia Year 2026.
“As the national carrier, Malaysia Airlines invites global travellers to experience more and uncover the vibrant beauty of Malaysia through a side trip to one of seven handpicked domestic destinations…”
This week, Malaysia Airlines also showcased the programme by hosting international key opinion leaders (KOLs) from countries including Indonesia, Mainland China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Australia, India, and Korea at the Malaysia Airlines Trade Elevation Summit in Langkawi. Guests enjoyed a curated itinerary of the island’s best – from UNESCO-listed Kilim Geoforest Park and the iconic Langkawi SkyCab to cultural encounters, sunset cruises, and local craft showcases.
Through the Bonus Side Trip, Malaysia Airlines is not just flying passengers to Malaysia – it’s flying them through Malaysia, opening up new possibilities for authentic cultural immersion and regional exploration.
As Visit Malaysia Year 2026 draws closer, this innovative initiative supports the country’s broader tourism goals by directing international traffic to lesser-explored locations, benefiting local economies and small businesses across the country.
“The Bonus Side Trip reflects our commitment to championing Malaysia as a preferred destination in Asia…”
