Got Enrich Miles? Up to 70% off Malaysia Airlines redemptions from London to Kuala Lumpur
Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission. See here for all partner links.
Malaysia Airlines has launched a generous promotion for redemption seats on its route from London Heathrow to Kuala Lumpur.
The snag is that it is only available to people who have Malaysia’s Enrich Miles and not to people redeeming oneworld partner miles such as Avios.
Enrich Miles is not an American Express Membership Rewards partner in the UK, so there is no easy opportunity of getting some miles together from scratch in the next five days.
Until 16th October, you can use your Enrich Miles to book London to Kuala Lumpur at the following rates:
Economy miles – up to 30% off
Normally, 42,500 – 62,500 miles (one way), reduced to 34,000 – 37,500 miles
Golden Business Class – up to 55% off
Normally, 150,000 – 250,000 miles (one way), reduced to 90,000 – 112,500 miles
First Class – up to 70% off
Normally 260,000 – 400,000 miles (one way), reduced to 117,000 to 120,000 miles
‘Cash and Miles’ is also available with this offer, allowing you to benefit if you don’t have enough miles for a full redemption.
Malaysia Airlines runs an A380 from Heathrow to Kuala Lumpur, with two flights per day. As a oneworld member you earn Avios and British Airways tier points when you fly them on cash flights, and you can also redeem your Avios with them via ba.com – although you won’t get a discount!
The Enrich Miles website is here. All travel under this offer must be flown by 4th December.

How to maximise your miles when paying for flights (April 2025)
Some UK credit cards offer special bonuses when used for buying flights. If you spend a lot on airline tickets, using one of these cards could sharply increase the credit card points you earn.
Booking flights on any airline?
American Express Preferred Rewards Gold earns double points (2 Membership Rewards points per £1) when used to buy flights directly from an airline website.
The card comes with a sign-up bonus of 20,000 Membership Rewards points. These would convert to 20,000 Avios or various other airline or hotel programmes. The standard earning rate is 1 point per £1.
You can apply here.
SPECIAL OFFER: Until 27th May 2025, the sign-up bonus on the ‘free for a year’ American Express Preferred Rewards Gold card is increased from 20,000 Membership Rewards points to 30,000 points. Points convert 1:1 into Avios (30,000 Avios!) and many other programmes. Some people may see even higher personalised offers. Click here to apply.
