Air Asia X ups flights to Kuala Lumpur

Low-cost, long haul carrier Air Asia X has stepped up its flight schedule by introducing two more flights between London Stansted and Kuala Lumpur.

The current service, which operates five times a week, will be upped to a daily service starting on July 1.

Some one-way tickets will be available from today (Tuesday) and Thursday at £149 including all taxes. These tickets are for travel between July 3 and January 31, 2010.

Asia Air X CEO Azran Osman-Rani said: "AirAsia X is providing fares people have never seen before for these routes, and making travel more affordable and accessible.

"From KL people are choosing from over 122 AirAsia routes. We are also offering an affordable and alternative version of the 'Kangaroo Route' – all the way from London via KL to Melbourne, Perth and the Gold Coast in Australia."
