KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 1 (Bernama) -- AirAsia will introduce a new route connecting Kuala Lumpur to Changsha, China, from Oct 2, 2015. In a statement here today, it said all-in-fares would be from RM88 (US$1=RM4.16) one way. It would be the 10th China destination for AirAsia and booking would be available from today until Sept 6 for the travel period from Oct 2 this year to Aug 31 next year, it said. The airline said it would operate the KL-Changsha and Changsha-KL flights four times a week, each.
