AirAsia X (AAX) continues on with its strong recovery with the service resumption of Kuala Lumpur to Chongqing route today since its first service to the city in 2015.
AirAsia X (flight code D7) will operate four flights weekly from Kuala Lumpur to Chongqing starting 15 October 2024. With the addition of Chongqing, the airline will operate flights to 9 destinations in China, including Changsha, Xi’an, Chengdu (Tianfu) and more, with a total of 53 flights weekly.
To commemorate the service resumption, AAX is thrilled to offer special promotional fares for flights to Chongqing from as low as RM339 all-in* one way. This promotion is available for booking on AirAsia MOVE (formerly airasia Superapp) and airasia.com from now until 11 August 2024 for the travel period between 15 October 2024 to 28 March 2025. All Malaysians are eligible for visa-free entry for tourism purposes to China for up to 15 days until the end of 2025, while China citizens can enjoy visa-free travel to Malaysia for a period of 30 days until 31 December 2026.
Chongqing is touted to be the largest municipality in the world, with a population of nearly 32 million. Known as the "Mountain City," Chongqing is built in a mountainous area and is also known as "The City of Fog" as it is often covered by a thin layer of mist, creating a fairyland-like atmosphere. Travellers who love breathtaking scenery and mouthwatering local delights will definitely want to visit to enjoy the stunning views along the Yangtze River and Jialing River; experience the unique Liziba House-Crossing Metro, where a train runs through a modern flat building at Liziba Metro Station, and indulge in the intensely spiced Chongqing Hot Pot.
