KUCHING: AirAsia X announced that the airline will commence four times weekly direct flights from Kuala Lumpur to Sapporo beginning from October 1, 2015.

In conjunction with the launch of the route, AirAsia X will be offering promotional all-in-fares from as low as RM99 one way for Economy or RM999 one way for the award-winning Premium Flatbed.

These promotional fares are available for online booking starting today until August 2, 2015, and for the travel period from October 1, 2015 until August 31, 2016.

At a press conference in Kuala Lumpur, Benyamin Ismail, acting chief executive officer of AirAsia X said, “We are happy to see our network growing from strength to strength and I am sure many Malaysians share the same excitement as us as AirAsia X will be the only airline operating scheduled direct flights from Kuala Lumpur to this world class destination.

“AirAsia X has carried over 1.5 million passengers between Japan and Malaysia. We are confident this route will also draw more inbound Japanese tourist traffic arriving from Sapporo who are often interested to explore surrounding cities in the region.

“This direct route will entice them to visit Malaysia and subsequently connect to various destinations in ASEAN and beyond,” he added.

Guests can also make use of the optional Fly-Thru service to connect to flights via the AirAsia Group’s multiple transit hubs with their baggage checked-through to the final destination without the hassle of immigration clearance at the transit hub.

With this optional service, guests can now travel seamlessly between all Asian and Australian cities, such as from Indonesia, Singapore and Australia to Sapporo through Kuala Lumpur, making this beautiful city in Northern Japan just one stop away.

AirAsia BIG Members can redeem promotional flights from 6,300 BIG Points and earn BIG points from flight bookings. Adding to that, AirAsiaGo is also offering hotel deals from as low as RM1,019.

To further provide better services for our guests, AirAsia has implemented a Fast Track Counter for Premium Flatbed and Premium Flex guests where they are entitled to clear immigration at the Fast Track counter at klia2 airport for both arrivals and departures.
