Malaysia Airlines will operate two Airbus A380 flights a day between Heathrow and Kuala Lumpur from November 24.

The A380 has 494 seats with 350 economy and eight fully flat first-class seats on the main deck, and 66 fully flat business class and 70 economy seats on the upper deck. Highlights include the widest first-class seats of any plane in the skies at 40 inches, an easy-to-use Thales touch-screen, on-demand in-flight entertainment system and USB port and satellite phone facilities at every seat in every class.
The airline’s onward destinations include: Malaysia (Langkawi, Penang, Kota Kinabalu, Kuala Terengganu, Kuantan Kuching); Australia (Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth, Melbourne, Sydney); New Zealand (Auckland); Bali (Denpasar); Thailand (Bangkok, Phuket); Myanmar (Yangon); Vietnam (Hanoi, Ho-Chi Minh City); Cambodia (Siem Reap, Phnom Penh) and Singapore.
