In Partnership with Malaysia Airlines
As we get into the swing of 2025, travel is high on many of our to-do lists. But it’s about more than just ticking things off. It’s about making the most of the journey, the places you’ll discover along the way, and the memories you’ll create.
It’s also the perfect time for memorable journeys. Whether you’re chasing relaxation next to crystal clear waters, exploring a different culture, or cities that never sleep, Malaysia Airlines can take you there.
Known for exceptional Malaysian hospitality, their seamless connections to over 60 destinations and up to 30% discounts on flights all year round for students aged 13 to 26 through their student travel program, MHexplorer, the airline is the gateway to some of the most incredible locations in the world.
Here’s a look at five destinations Malaysia Airlines can take you to, and why they should be on your radar.

Langkawi, Malaysia
Langkawi is the kind of place where time moves slower in the best possible way. This cluster of islands off the northwest coast of Malaysia is a haven for anyone looking to disconnect and recharge.
Picture perfect waters, white sand beaches, and incredible sunsets. Spend your days exploring mangroves, snorkeling, or sitting back with a cocktail in hand. For something a little different, you can take the Langkawi Sky Bridge, a suspended walkway high above the rainforest, for unbeatable views of the island.
Malaysia Airlines offers easy connections to Langkawi, making it the perfect add-on to any trip.

Paris, France
Paris needs no introduction, but it’s worth revisiting every chance you get. No matter how many times you’ve been, the city always has something new to offer. Walk along the Seine, explore the world-famous art collections at the Louvre or Musée d’Orsay, and spend lazy afternoons watching people at one of the thousands of cafés. Don’t skip the lesser-known gems, like the street art in the Belleville district or the hidden courtyards of Le Marais.
Starting on March 22nd, 2025, Malaysia Airlines will connect Aussies directly to Paris from Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth bringing the French capital closer than ever. If you’re travelling from Melbourne, you can also fly on their new A330neo aircraft, which is available six times weekly from Melbourne to Kuala Lumpur*.

Kolkata, India
Known as the cultural capital of India, Kolkata is a city where you can never be bored. Explore the beautiful architecture of the Victoria Memorial, spend hours looking through the city’s literary heritage at College Street’s book market, or spend your days trying local street food like kathi rolls and puchkas.
With the huge flower market at Mullick Ghat or boat rides along the Hooghly River at sunset, there’s always something interesting to do. And with Malaysia Airlines flying to 10 destinations in India, including Kolkata, it’s never been easier to explore.

Da Nang, Vietnam
Da Nang offers the best of both worlds. On one hand, you’ve got stunning beaches like My Khe, where you can swim, surf, or enjoy the sun. On the other, you’ve got cultural landmarks like the Marble Mountains and the iconic Golden Bridge, with its giant stone hands holding up the walkway.
Da Nang is also a gateway to historic Hoi An, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where lantern-lined streets and bright, ancient architecture feel extra special.

Penang, Malaysia
Penang is Malaysia’s culinary capital, and it never disappoints. From hawker stalls serving char kway teow and laksa to old cafés dishing out modern twists on traditional recipes, the food alone is worth the trip. Beyond the food, Penang’s art scene is also incredible, with George Town’s murals turning the city into an outdoor gallery
Penang is one of seven destinations available with Malaysia Airlines’ “Bonus Side Trip” offer. If you’re travelling via Kuala Lumpur to ASEAN, South Asia, North Asia, UK & Europe, you can opt to add a “stopover” in one of seven Malaysian destinations, including Alor Setar, Langkawi, Johor Bahru, Kota Bharu, Kuala Terengganu, Kuantan or Penang. It’s a great way to explore different parts of Malaysia and get to see two cities for the price of one.
