Malaysia Airlines wishes to encourage passengers to make their bookings early and to choose to fly on earlier or later flights to enjoy competitive air fares.

The airline will continue to monitor the local market trend and consider mounting more flights to more cities to ensure the supply matches the demand.

Malaysia Airlines, together with its sister airlines Firefly and MASwings, will also be waiving flight change fee for Malaysians with existing bookings with the airlines to allow Malaysians to balik kampung and vote.

The waiver is applicable for all types of tickets for travel dates between 8 to 10 May inbound or outbound.
