Have you seen the viral video that’s buzzing on social media showing a red AirAsia supercar and double decker bus roaming around KL giving out free merch and even a return flight to London or Bahrain to lucky participants?
If you were around Sunway Pyramid, Sunway Square and Bukit Bintang over the weekend, chances are you spotted it.
A bright red AirAsia double decker bus cruising through the city.
A sleek red supercar turning heads.
Crowds gathering outside Sunway Pyramid, Sunway Square, Lot 10 and Fahrenheit 88.
Yes, that moment was very real.
AirAsia officially launched its direct flights to London and Bahrain and decided to celebrate it right in the heart of KL.
From Street Buzz To Big Travel Dreams
Last weekend, from 12pm onwards, shoppers joined quiz contests, picked up exclusive freebies, and enjoyed live brass band performances that brought extra energy to the area.
The best part? Lucky participants each won a return flight to either London or Bahrain.
What started as a spontaneous weekend sighting quickly became something bigger. A reminder that long haul travel is now more accessible than many people think.
London, Now More Within Reach
London has long been a dream destination for many Malaysians.
The iconic landmarks. The history. The culture. The shopping streets. The food scene that blends traditional British favourites with global flavours.
From standing in front of Big Ben and Tower Bridge to exploring neighbourhoods like Camden and Notting Hill, London offers something for first time visitors and repeat travellers alike.
With AirAsia flying to London, long haul travel feels more attainable, opening up the opportunity to explore one of the world’s most iconic cities without the usual perception that it is too far or too complicated.
Bahrain, The Gulf’s Rising Star
If London represents timeless appeal, Bahrain offers something refreshingly different.
An island nation in the Gulf, Bahrain blends heritage, waterfront living, modern cafés, and world class entertainment into one compact destination.
Travellers can explore historic sites like Bahrain Fort and the Pearling Path, visit the Tree of Life standing alone in the desert, or unwind along the waterfront at Bahrain Bay.
For entertainment seekers, the country is also known for hosting major events such as Formula 1 races, concerts, and festivals throughout the year.
Bahrain is well suited for Muslim travellers too, making it a comfortable and culturally familiar option for many Malaysians.
What makes this route even more interesting is that AirAsia is currently the ONLY airline flying direct from Kuala Lumpur to Bahrain, offering a straightforward connection without additional stopovers.
More Than Just A Viral Moment
The AirAsia red double decker bus and supercar may have created the buzz, but the bigger picture is this.
AirAsia is making long haul destinations like London and Bahrain feel closer and more accessible.
Whether it is exploring London’s historic streets or soaking in Bahrain’s island energy, these cities are no longer just saved posts on your travel wishlist.
If you missed the weekend activation, you can still explore London or plan your Bahrain trip via AirAsia MOVE website.
