RED CARPET: Participants arrive at Langkawi International Airport upon departure from KLIA.

KUCHING: Malaysia Airlines (MAS) and MasterCard recently sponsored its top spenders with a trip for two days and one night at The Danna Resort in Langkawi Island.

According to a press release, thirty top spenders were invited based on the highest amount spent on MAS flight tickets by using MasterCard credit cards.

The guests started off their journey from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and upon arrival in Langkawi airport, they were greeted with Hawaiian flower garlands, followed by a welcome reception at the resort complete with refreshments and a cultural dance troupe performance.

The guests were later invited to lunch at the Cliff Restaurant, facing the clear blue waters of the Andaman Sea.

On the agenda was a visit to one of Langkawi’s major attractions, the Panorama Langkawi cable car that provided an aerial link from Teluk Burau to the peak of Gunung Machinchang where the Sky Bridge was located.

The highlight of the evening started when all participants attended the dinner at the resort’s beachfront. The dinner kicked off with a contemporary performance by a pair of synchronised swimmers in the hotel’s swimming pool and later guests were entertained by Joanne Ng, a local band, and Joanne Yeoh, the renowned Malaysian violinist who left the crowd in awe during the dinner session.

Speaking during the dinner, MAS Regional vice president Sales Malaysia, Azman Ahmad said, “Throughout the last five years, we have been working closely with MasterCard to serve the community, promote business and tourism, providing excellent connectivity with our flavour of Malaysian Hospitality.

“We thank MasterCard and the top spenders for their confidence and support for Malaysia Airlines. We hope to continue the long term relationship with MasterCard and continue to reward the highest spenders with similar events,” added Azman

Jim Cheah, vice president and Senior Country Manager, Malaysia and Brunei MasterCard Worldwide said, “A big thank you to Malaysia Airlines for working together with us, in organising this trip.”

At the end of the night, the top spenders were invited to sit at the beach around a bonfire over shisha and refreshing drinks. This was followed by a firework performance lighting up the starry sky as the end to the night.
