Air India Express to fly from Chennai to KL, Malaysia

Low-cost carrier Air India Express will be flying from Chennai to Kuala Lumpur from October under a new agreement to liberalize air travel between Malaysia and India.

The carrier, which is a subsidiary of state-run Air India, is finalizing details of its entry to Malaysia following the signing of the pact earlier this month. They will start to fly from Kuala Lumpur to Chennai in the first phase and expand later to Trichy in southern India and to other Indian destinations.

Malaysia will be the carrier's second international destination after Singapore. Air India Express is negotiating to fly to the Kuala Lumpur International Airport, rather than to the low-cost terminal near the main airport.

For full details of the new, please find it at International Herald Tribune.

Louis Vuitton is now in KLCC, Malaysia

The Petronas Twin Towers naturally won hands down when it came to selecting a national icon for the special edition LV watch to commemorate the opening of Louis Vuitton Store KLCC.

The Speedy Twilight Kuala Lumpur, featuring two diamond-encrusted towers with a diamond-encrusted crescent moon, is housed within a white gold square case, against a mother-of-pearl backdrop.

The total count of precious gems stands at 488, with 319 white diamonds and 169 sapphires set to dazzle the wrist. Only eight Speedy Twilight Kuala Lumpur watches are available and that, too, exclusively in Malaysia.

For a touch of luxury, the MYR180,000 timepiece is presented in a Damier canvas mini trunk lined with coral micro-fibre.

This will definitely be a collective item, as there are limited edition Speedy Twilight Paris featuring the Eiffel Tower, Hong Kong and Japan with their skylines. This is one expensive collective item, I must say.

Exquisitely designed with perfect architecture and lovely crafted emblems. The beauty of the palace is evident inside and out, enticing visitors to stay longer in the palace grounds.

Royal paraphernalia like clothes, equipment. crafts, beds, banquet, royal chair and more are kept in its original placement.
