AirAsia Opens New Paris-KL Route Next Year

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 18 (Bernama) -- AirAsia is officially flying to Paris, its second European destination after London via its long-haul low fare affiliate, AirAsia X.

"AirAsia X's Paris-Kuala Lumpur route is the realisation of one of its long-held ambition to open up, yet another afforadble access between Malaysia and Europe for both the ASEAN and European communities," AirAsia Group Chief Executive Officer Tony Fernandes said in a statement Thursday.

The four-times weekly direct flight will commence on Feb 14, 2011, between Paris-Orly International Airport and Kuala Lumpur International Airport's Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT).

The new route will be serviced by the Airbus A340 aircraft with a 327 passenger capacity, including 18 premium seats.

Early birds will be entitled to a RM499 one-way special fare when they book online from Nov 22 to Nov 24.

The travel period for the special fare is from Feb 14 to Nov 10, 2011.

Hahaha, yes, Seoul in Dec is gonna be friggin' cold, I'd prolly stay in the room and play with their 45Mb/s internet. :)

Got trips in the pipeline for 2011 too, now trying to squeeze in a trip to Darjeeling in the Indian Himalayas in April - wanna ride their famous 'Toy Train' up to 2000m. Paris is not in our to-visit list, been there several times, even worked there for a while. But if I can get really cheap tix in spring, why not? Fly in, rent a car, and drive the Loire Valley, for castles and cheese-tasting. :)

Playing around with AirAsia website. Cheapest KL/Paris I can see is RM1,276 (minus food/baggage). Not bad, but no Europe for us in 2011. :)
