MAS provides online booking from seven cities in Europe

Travelling to seven cities in Europe is getting more convenient for Malaysia Airlines (MAS) customers as they can now book tickets online.

In a statement yesterday, MAS said customers departing or arriving in Barcelona and Madrid in Spain; Munich and Frankfurt (Germany); Brussels (Belgium); Geneva (Switzerland) and Athens (Greece) could purchase their tickets online at www.malaysiaairlines.com beginning June 11.

MAS already serves these cities via Rome, through a partnership with Alitalia. The national carrier offers three weekly non-stop flights to Rome.

Previously, customers could only purchase tickets at MAS’ ticketing offices or from travel agents.

MAS senior general manager (commercial strategy) Dr Amin Khan said, by offering online booking for the destinations, customers could enjoy more convenience and seamless connectivity.

“These complete our offering of online bookings for United Kingdom and Europe as customers are already enjoying online booking for code share flights with KLM Royal Dutch Airline and British Midlands. Collectively, we offer our customers 22 code share destinations,” he said. — Bernama
