Malaysia Airlines is inviting UK motorsport fans to experience two back-to-back Formula 1 weekends in a single Southeast Asian journey this October. Formula 1 will return to Malaysia’s Sepang International Circuit for the first time since 2017 for the Formula 1 Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia from 2 – 4 October, followed one week later by the Singapore Grand Prix from 9 – 11 October. With services from London Heathrow to Kuala Lumpur and onward connections to Singapore, Malaysia Airlines enables travellers to combine both race weekends while discovering more of Malaysia between events.
From 2 to 4 October, the eyes of motorsport fans will turn to the Sepang International Circuit, which will welcome Formula 1 for the first time since 2017 to host the Bahrain Grand Prix. Renowned for its challenging layout, long straights and unpredictable weather conditions, Sepang is one of Formula 1’s most distinctive circuits and remains a favourite among drivers and motorsport fans. The journey continues in Singapore for one of the most exciting races of the season, held at night in the heart of the city-state. With flights connecting both locations, Malaysia Airlines offers travellers the opportunity to experience two distinctive race experiences in a single trip.
An invitation to discover the richness of Malaysia
Far more than just a stopover between two Grand Prix weekends, Malaysia is an unforgettable destination in its own right. In Kuala Lumpur, visitors can experience a vibrant capital where contemporary culture, diverse heritage and renowned food scene come together. Between race weekends, travellers can explore Kuala Lumpur’s diverse neighbourhoods, celebrated food scene and cultural landmarks, or extend their journey to Malaysia’s beaches, heritage cities and tropical landscapes with the Bonus Side Trip offer. With the Singapore Grand Prix taking place the following weekend, the itinerary provides an opportunity to combine world-class motorsport with a wider journey through Southeast Asia.
Explore more with Bonus Side Trip
As part of this unique double-header, Malaysia Airlines offers eligible international travellers the opportunity to take advantage of its Bonus Side Trip programme. Travelling via Kuala Lumpur, passengers can add an additional stop to their journey and enjoy a flight to one of the eight Malaysian destinations offered under the programme, with no additional fare, excluding applicable airport taxes. From the tropical beaches of Langkawi and Penang to the distinctive cultures of Kuching and Kuala Terengganu, travellers can extend their stay and experience another side of Malaysia before continuing to Singapore.
A premium experience from start to finish
The journey begins the moment travellers board with Malaysia Airlines’ signature Malaysian Hospitality and in-flight menus inspired by the flavours of Malaysia. Guests can also enjoy MHstudio on-demand entertainment, unlimited Wi-Fi on eligible aircraft and a generous 20kg checked baggage allowance.
