Malaysia Airlines announced plans to suspend service to its only destination in North America as part of a major cost-cutting initiative. Effective April 30, the national carrier will cease to operate flights between Kuala Lumpur (KUL) and Los Angeles (LAX), where it currently flies four times a week with Boeing 777-200 aircraft, because the route “is no longer economically viable,” according to Ahmad Jauhari Yahya, CEO, Malaysia Airlines. “The factors contributing to this negative situation today include over capacity and competition resulting in lower yields, high cost of operating the 777 aircraft and pressure from continued increases in fuel costs,” Yahya added. Despite suspending its only service to North America, Malaysia Airlines will continue to serve the continent through a codeshare agreement with American Airlines and Japan Airlines, its partners in the oneworld alliance, which Malaysia Airlines joined in February 2013. Connections include service between Kuala Lumpur and Atlanta (ATL), Boston (BOS), Honolulu (HNL), Houston (IAH), Las Vegas (LAS), Minneapolis (MSP), Portland (PDX), Raleigh (RDU), San Diego (SAN), San Francisco (SFO) and Washington, D.C. (IAD) via Europe and Japan.

May 23, 2025Relax, Rejuvenate and Heal at StolenTime
At the namesake luxury, 5-star all-inclusive resort in Saint Lucia, the concept of “stolen time” used to be reserved for couples escaping to canoodle, reconnect and perhaps rekindle in sumptuous accommodations during a romantic getaway on the lush Caribbean island. But when StolenTime by Rendezvous rebranded in late 2022 to welcome all adult guests and focus more on wellness, the philosophy expanded to encompass self-reflection, personal growth and enrichment. After all, time is our most precious commodity, one that’s finite and too quickly slips through our grasp; we need to find those moments that matter and make them count.
