Similarly guests from the new domestic Fly-Thru destinations may also book Fly Thru and connect directly to their final destinations across Australia, China, Taiwan, Korea and Japan via its hub in Kuala Lumpur Low Cost Carrier Terminal.

“With the implementation of the fly-thru services across our domestic network in Malaysia, AirAsia X guests need only clear immigration upon arrival in Kuala Lumpur low cost carrier terminal, and directly proceed to the domestic gate without the hassle of checking in their luggage twice in order to connect to their onward domestic destination in Malaysia “explained Azran Osman-Rani, CEO of AirAsia X.

“Our aim is to ensure seamless travel for connecting guests who prefer to transit in Kuala Lumpur and travel with us to other destinations between the AirAsia X and AirAsia network. The addition of our domestic routes in Malaysia on our Fly Thru service radar would further boost tourism traffic into the country and further promote our popular travel destinations such as Penang, Langkawi, Kota Kinabalu and Kuching, offering guests transit convenience within our group network,” added Azran.
In conjunction with the newly added domestic destinations onto our Fly Thru network, AirAsia X will be offering fares from as low as MYR379 one way from AirAsia X destinations (Australia, Korea, Taiwan, China, Japan) to Penang, Langkawi, Kota Kinabalu and Kuching.

Connecting guest’s check in luggage(s) will be tagged and transferred directly to the final destination. Guests will be able to connect within a shorter time period, with the exemption of transit visas.

“At AirAsia, we are continuously ramping up our efforts to give the best to our guests. We have seen a strong feeder market within our network, and this has encouraged us to review our products and services and offer guests the convenience of connecting seamlessly.
