KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Airlines has today entered into a strategic commercial partnership with Visa to offer customers travel promotions through its ‘MH Visa Weekend Deals’.
The promotion offers all Visa credit, debit and prepaid cardholders discounted fares globally on selected markets.
The partnership allows cardholders to enjoy additional discounts of up to 20 per cent off all-inclusive fares on both Business and Economy class travel every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, beginning October 26, 2018 to January 13, 2019.
The promo is applicable to customers who book their tickets on www.malaysiaairlines.com/visa.
“We are very excited to embark on this partnership, with Malaysia Airlines being one of the first airlines in the Asia Pacific region to collaborate with Visa on a signature weekend promotion for our customers,” said Malaysia Airlines Bhd’s (MAB) chief executive officer Captain Izham Ismail.
Izham added that Visa was a globally recognised brand used by almost all MAB’s customers. Hence, the partnership was very much in line with the airline’s goal of offering customers more value through innovative promotions and strategic partnerships.
Visa country manager for Malaysia Ng Kong Boon said travel was an extremely popular activity for Malaysians, citing that the Global Travel Intentions study revealed that Malaysians had taken an average of 5.4 international trips in the last two years, higher than the Asia Pacific and global average.
“We also see from our data that purchase for air tickets is one of the top categories in e-commerce transactions.
“We believe that partnering our national carrier in Malaysia, Malaysia Airlines will greatly benefit our cardholders as they can now assess a range of exciting travel deals through the MH Visa Weekend Deals,” he said.
Additionally, all deals include unlimited pieces of checked in baggage, within the 20kg for domestic and 30kg for international weight allowance on economy class, plus complimentary meals and in-flight entertainment.
