Reading Time: 2 minutes

AirAsia X (AAX), with its flight code D7, is making significant strides in its recovery by resuming the Kuala Lumpur to Chongqing route, a service first launched in 2015. Starting October 15, 2024, AAX will operate four weekly flights on this route, further expanding its presence in China.

With the addition of Chongqing, AirAsia X will offer flights to nine destinations across China, including Changsha, Xi’an, and Chengdu (Tianfu), totaling 53 flights weekly. This marks a significant expansion of the airline’s network in the region.

To celebrate the service resumption, AAX is offering special promotional fares to Chongqing starting from as low as RM339 all-in one way. These promotional fares are available for booking on AirAsia MOVE (formerly airasia Superapp) and airasia.com until August 11, 2024, for travel between October 15, 2024, and March 28, 2025. Malaysian travelers can enjoy visa-free entry to China for up to 15 days until the end of 2025, while Chinese citizens can travel to Malaysia visa-free for 30 days until December 31, 2026.

Chongqing, the world’s largest municipality with a population of nearly 32 million, is renowned as the “Mountain City” due to its mountainous terrain and is often enveloped in a thin layer of mist, earning it the nickname “The City of Fog.” Visitors to Chongqing can enjoy breathtaking views along the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers, experience the unique Liziba House-Crossing Metro, and indulge in the famously spiced Chongqing Hot Pot.

Travelers looking for scenic beauty and culinary delights will find Chongqing a must-visit destination. With the resumption of this route, AirAsia X continues to enhance connectivity and provide travelers with more opportunities to explore this enchanting city.
