Malaysia Airlines is a full-service airline with a presence on every continent except Antarctica. It is not a budget or strictly local airline. First and Business Class are available for all flights. Economy Class features individual in-flight entertainment consoles.

Higher classes and individual in-flight entertainment are not available on the flights operated by its subsidiary companies, Firefly and MASwings, since they use small commuter-type aircraft.

An example would be connecting to Medan, Indonesia or to a location in Malaysian Borneo from Kuala Lumpur.
