British Airways' inaugural flight to Malaysia arrives at Kuala Lumpur International Airport at 2:35pm local time on May 28, 2015.
The non-stop route is served by the long-range Boeing 777-200ER aircraft offering customers a choice of four cabins - First and Club World business cabin featuring award-winning flat beds, World Traveller Plus premium economy and World Traveller economy cabin.
Hollywood actress Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh, world-renowned Malaysian fashion designer Datuk Jimmy Choo and British supermodel Georgia May Jagger added glitz and glamour to the launch of British Airways' flights to Malaysia with a Cinderella-inspired photoshoot in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday.
Kuala Lumpur is a marvellous place and there is so much to see and do here, be it visiting the historic monuments dotted around the city, tasting the mouth-watering delicacies served at famous street food markets or wandering one of the many art galleries.
To celebrate the inauguration, British Airways is offering special fares to London, the UK and Europe from Kuala Lumpur starting from just $860 for travel between May 28 and November 30. The fares are valid for booking until June 16, 2015.
