'Seamless service' and oneworld alliance from Malaysia Airlines

After becoming a member of the oneworld alliance on Feb 1, Malaysia Airlines is set to offer its customers "an unrivaled global network served by partners including some of the best and biggest airlines in the world", said Joshua Law Kok Hwa, regional senior vice-president of the company.

With the alliance, the Malaysian carrier offers passengers "the best connectivity with seamless journeys to more than 800 destinations across more than 150 countries and access to over 550 airport lounges worldwide", said Law.

One of the new policies to ensure "seamless service to passengers both on-ground and in-flight" is a new checked luggage allowance of 10 extra kilograms for all guests, which means an economy class passenger can take 30 kg of checked luggage and the weight for first class reaches 50 kg.
