Malaysia Airlines has a launched a new promo code for 15% off flights booked from the UK in association with Heathrow Rewards.

It is valid for Economy, Business and Business Suite flights.

You need to book by 25th January for travel dates up to 30th November 2020.  The discount only applies to the base fare and so will not be a full 15% due to the taxes and charges included.

Full details and the promo code you need to use are on this page of the Malaysia Airlines site here.
