Good news, ladies and gentlemen! Amidst the stellar media coverage Malaysia Airlines has garnered lately for its world-class flight cancellations and delays, they've decided the timing is just right to launch direct flights to Paris next year.
While we eagerly await further details, what we do know is that tickets went on sale yesterday, starting from the low, low price of RM3,699 for an all-in return fare. What a bargain!
Especially when you consider you’ll be flying in Malaysia Airlines’ renowned A350-900 economy class seats. Truly, a top-tier experience.
Starting on March 22, 2025, there will be four weekly flights to Paris, and by March 29, they’ll be going daily. Because when you're already having so much fun managing delays and cancellations, why not add more flights to the schedule?
Comparing the Competition
Let’s take a quick look at the competition for flights to Paris during that exact week.
As you can see, we’ve got Emirates and Etihad Airways offering return flights from around RM2,881 and RM2,748, respectively—both cheaper than Malaysia Airlines’ stellar RM3,699 offering.
In fact, why bother paying a little extra for Singapore Airlines at RM3,751, a renowned international airline when Malaysia Airlines is practically the same thing?
Anyway, who’s really counting when you’re flying the unparalleled economy class of Malaysia Airlines, right?
I mean, those seats—chef’s kiss! I can’t think of anything more comfortable. Emirates and Etihad might try to lure you in with their ugly, boring seats and larger, more extravagant meal portions, but we all know that bigger isn’t always better.
Malaysia Airlines has the perfect philosophy here: less is more. Nothing beats the dainty little Nasi Lemak portions you'll get on MAS compared to the extravagant meals on Emirates.
Who even wants so much food on a plane, anyway?
The Direct Flight Advantage
Let’s not forget, Malaysia Airlines offers the unmatched convenience of a direct flight. Why would you ever want to stop over at a top-ranked airport like Hamad International with its Michelin-star-level lounges, when you could just fly straight to Paris?
Sure, Hamad International was named the best airport in the world in 2024, and sure, Qatar Airways lounges offer champagne, steak, and lobster, but honestly, I’m more of a Nasi Briyani guy myself.
Malaysia Airlines' Platinum Lounge at KLIA Terminal 1 is all I need, thank you very much. No frills, no fuss—just the kind of Malaysian Hospitality you can’t get anywhere else.
Final Thoughts
In conclusion, Malaysia Airlines launching flights to Paris next year is clearly a stroke of genius.
Why not add another long-haul route to the schedule amidst an ongoing fleet crisis, mechanical issues, and frequent cancellations? It makes perfect sense! Who needs operational efficiency or reliable services when you can fly MAS and experience the thrill of uncertainty with every trip? Plus, the chance to overpay for economy class seats—what more could you ask for?
I, for one, can’t wait to book my ticket and enjoy all the Malaysian Hospitality I can handle. Because nothing says "luxury" like Malaysia Airlines.
