Malaysia Airlines MHflypass ASEAN

Malaysia Airlines follows what AirAsia did earlier and has launched an exciting flight pass product for ASEAN countries.

Three passes are available from $337 to $607, each allowing up to six one-way flights within 12 months of purchase.

You can access this offer on the Malaysia Airlines website here.

You get some priority services in this product, of which the most valuable is the extra luggage allowance of up to 35 kilos (standard 20 kilos).

Three Passes

• Pass 1: 1,499 MYR ($337)
• Pass 2: 2,099 MYR ($478)
• Pass 3: 2,699 MYR ($607)

Eligible Routes:

Three things to note:

Availability:

Why is there no seat available to book with MHflypass ASEAN but available for normal booking?

Seat allocation for MHflypass ASEAN is applicable for selected Economy Class seats based on its fare category and types. On dates with no seats availability, the calendar is displayed as ‘Not Available’. Normal booking without using MHflypass ASEAN for the same flight and date can still be available as seat allocation would be under a different booking class.

It is unclear to what fare classes these passes book into.

Fees:

Are there extra fees?

Airport taxes/surcharges and other applicable costs are not included in the MHflypass ASEAN and must be paid by the member at the time of purchase.

It is unclear if the carrier fee applies to these flight passes, but I assume from the above wording that you need to pay them.

Bali – Yangon

The fees on this route would be exactly $37.

Miles Earnings

The T&Cs state that you earn Enrich miles for this product based on the price you pay. It is unclear if you can credit the flights to any partner program or if the booked fare class is even eligible for credit in any.

Conclusion

Using this pass, you could put together a nice ASEAN trip, especially if you utilize open jaws. The main drawback is that this is only available for economy class.

It is a good deal for someone traveling to/from Kuala Lumpur and one of the eligible destinations. The flight price is $100 on the Zone 3 pass without taxes/fees.
