MH to resume KUL-DXB flights

[cmon0005]

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere, just saw this online:

Malaysia Airlines will be adding Dubai back to its network effective 5 August 2013. The Kuala Lumpur-Dubai return service will be mounted daily via MH162 and MH163 using the Boeing 777-200 aircraft that offers a total capacity of 282 seats in each flight, equivalent to 3,948 seats weekly.

Lots of Oneworld choices to DXB now.

Just to update this thread:

MH162 KUL1515 – 1845DXB A333 D
MH163 DXB2015 – 0730+1KUL A333 D

Offering significantly cheaper (about 50%) rates to DXB in J than the EK/QF connection, and earning more SC's also, if you don't mind the slightly longer total journey time.
