In addition, the increased frequency of new AirAsia X flights between Taipei-Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Lumpur-Perth, and Kuala Lumpur-Tokyo makes it more convenient for Taiwanese and global travelers to reach destinations such as Australia, Taiwan, and Japan. We also encourage passengers to make full use of our Fly-thru transit service, which allows them to transit without applying for a separate transit visa and to check their luggage through to their final destination, greatly reducing transit time.”

In addition, each person can pre-order more than one in-flight meal at preferential prices before boarding and enjoy exquisite cuisine from around the world.
