AirAsia X flies to Chongqing and Medina
AirAsia X will be resuming its Kuala Lumpur to Chongqing with four flights a week starting from October 15th.
With a population of around thirty-two million, Chongqing is arguably the largest city on the planet. A sprawling, futuristic metropolis with cable cars across the city and trains in apartment blocks. Contrasting with this, the city is surrounded by some breathtaking countryside and is steeped in history having been the capital of several ancient dynasties and the provisional capital of the Republic of China during the Second Sino-Japanese War between 1937 and 1945.
Flight number D7 808 will take off from Kuala Lumpur at 19.35 on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. It arrives in Chongqing at 01.45 next morning. The return flight, D7 809, leaves Chongqing at 02.00 on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays touching down in Kuala Lumpur at 07.10
