AirAsia X will fly to Hangzhou in China beginning Feb. 4.

Early birds will be able to set off to the destination that is situated 180km outside of Shanghai from RM99.99 one-way from Kuala Lumpur (excluding airport taxes, surcharges and fees).

Guests can book online at www.airasia.com to enjoy the special promotional fare which is only available until Jan. 20 for the travel period between Feb. 4 and Mar. 28.

There will be five direct flights per week from Kuala Lumpur to the destination.

AirAsia X chief executive officer Azran Osman-Rani said in a press statement that the latest service was the airline's second long-haul destination after Gold Coast in Australia which was launched in November last year.

"The new service to Hangzhou, the capital of the Zhejiang province, is part of AirAsia's ongoing strategy to create and serve an extended network of cities in China both by its short and long-haul services."

"The launch also coincides with Chinese New Year and offers the opportunity for people to renew social ties between families and friends during the festive period," he added.
