Have you decided where to go for this Lunar New Year? Malindo Air has partnered with travel agencies to launch direct charter flights departing on the first day of the Lunar New Year from Taipei to Penang and Sandakan in Sabah. Whether you prefer a laid-back city escape or an eco-adventure, you can choose from brand-new five-day, four-night itineraries tailored to your interests.

For this Spring Festival, Malindo Air has launched two direct chartered flights from Taipei Taoyuan Airport to Penang International Airport, offering a midday departure and return. The itinerary includes Penang’s newest attractions such as the Avatar Secret Garden, THE TOP Rainforest Skywalk, and ENTOPIA the Rainforest Experience. Additionally, for the first time, direct flights to Sandakan are available. This port city boasts well-preserved, abundant natural resources and is hailed as the gateway to Borneo’s wilderness.

Travelers can observe endangered species such as orangutans, Malayan sun bears, and proboscis monkeys in their ecological conservation habitats, and even go snorkeling at marine parks to experience the wonders of an ocean paradise.
