Routes to India
From Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Airlines flies daily to Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kochi and Amritsar, and to Thiruvananthapuram (daily from 1 December 2025). Ahmedabad has fewer flights, reported at four a week from late October 2025. The airline says it serves ten Indian cities in all.
- Amritsar: the about-daily Kuala Lumpur–Amritsar flight makes Malaysia Airlines the most dependable one-ticket route into Punjab from every Australian city. See our Amritsar page.
- Kochi: MH108 runs daily and lands in the late evening.
- Ahmedabad: with about four flights a week, dates are more limited.
Economy baggage
Malaysia Airlines uses the weight system, set by fare. Its Australian fare guide lists three Economy fares: Economy Lite has no checked bag, Economy Basic includes 20 kg and Economy Flex includes 35 kg. Check the fare you're buying.

What it's good for, and what to watch
Good for
- Amritsar and Punjab, on one ticket with bags checked through.
- Adelaide travellers. The daily Adelaide flight gives South Australians a second full-service route alongside Singapore Airlines.
- A compact transfer. Malaysia Airlines uses KLIA Terminal 1, and connections stay inside the terminal. Arrivals at the satellite C gates take the Aerotrain to the main building.
Watch-outs
- Lite fares have no checked bag. Make sure the fare you book includes the baggage you need.
- Don't confuse it with AirAsia. AirAsia is a separate low-cost airline that uses KLIA Terminal 2. A Malaysia Airlines flight connecting to AirAsia on a separate ticket means clearing immigration in Kuala Lumpur.
- Malaysia Airlines is a oneworld member, like Qantas and Qatar Airways, which matters if you collect frequent flyer points with one of them.
- Transit rules for Indian passport holders. Malaysia doesn't state a transit exemption, so we confirm what's needed for your connection when we book. Entering Malaysia is visa-free for Indian nationals for up to 30 days until 31 December 2026, with the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card. See our Kuala Lumpur stopover guide.
Where Malaysia Airlines appears on our route pages
It's the usual first choice on our Amritsar routes from Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney, and a strong option on Adelaide to Delhi, Brisbane to Bengaluru, Melbourne to Kochi and Sydney to Hyderabad. On most of these, the Kuala Lumpur connection is between two and six hours.
