Malaysia Airlines has brought back its Bonus Side Trip (BST) programme, offering international travellers the opportunity to explore Malaysia’s hidden gems at no additional fare, apart from taxes. Whether transiting through Kuala Lumpur or planning an extended stay, here’s your chance to explore a second Malaysian destination, experiencing more of the country’s culture, natural beauty, authentic local food and hospitality.
Bonus Side Trip (BST) programme
Available to Malaysia Airlines’ international passengers travelling through Kuala Lumpur, the BST programme offers a domestic return flight to one of seven selected Malaysian destinations at no extra fare. The seven destinations you can choose to stop over in are Langkawi, Penang, Johor Bahru, Kuantan, Alor Star, Kuala Terengganu and Kota Bharu before continuing to the last leg of your journey.
Unlike traditional stopover packages, BST is fully integrated into the ticket fare and booking itinerary, making your international journey a multi-destination adventure.
As part of Malaysia Airlines’ support for Visit Malaysia Year 2026, the programme will help stimulate sustainable tourism growth. This initiative is designed to encourage domestic exploration beyond Malaysia’s capital, allowing international travellers to explore secondary destinations that show different facets of Malaysia, offering sun & sea, rural or city, mountains or adventure. BST also supports inclusive growth, supporting businesses and communities across the country. It also reinforces Malaysia Airlines’ role as the gateway to Asia and beyond.

In conjunction with the BST programme, Malaysia Airlines hosted a group of international key opinion leaders (KOLs) from Indonesia, Mainland China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Australia, India and Korea in Langkawi to experience the islands as a featured Bonus Side Trip destination.
Their itinerary took them through a variety of immersive experiences that included the UNESCO-certified Kilim Geoforest Park, Langkawi SkyCab, sunset cruises, and authentic local crafts, showcasing the island’s blend of nature, culture, and lifestyle. The specially curated journey offered a taste of what makes Langkawi a standout destination, bringing nature, culture, and hospitality together as a truly Malaysian holiday experience.
