In addition, flights between Madrid and Paris-Orly are operated under the “UX” and “AF” codes, as well as three daily Paris-CDG2/Barcelona flights.

Passengers with connecting flights with Air France and Air Europa will benefit from through check-in (except if a change of airports is necessary during the trip). When checking in, they will receive their boarding passes and baggage coupons for the entire trip, straight through to their final destination.

Air France and Air Europa will thus be offering their customers a total of 680 flights a week between France and Spain. It is with the intention of offering enhanced service to their customers that both airlines chose to strengthen the dynamic of their partnership, signed in July 2003, and whose importance was confirmed on 31 March 2026 between Air France Chairman and CEO Jean-Cyril Spinetta and Juan José Hidalgo, Executive President of Globalia, to which belongs Air Europa. Furthermore, the Spanish airline is currently negotiating its joining the SkyTeam alliance, in view of becoming an associate member.

Brand New Hilton Kuala Lumpur Set to Open September
Almost three and a half years since the Hilton logo was removed from the roof of its former city address, Hilton Kuala Lumpur will be back and fully operational - in a brand new building and a brand new location come end September.

Located in the multi billion-Ringgit mixed development project, the 35-storey, 510-room property will open end September, setting a new benchmark for contemporary hotels in Asia and for Hilton International's stable of 80 properties in the Middle East and Asia Pacific.

Speaking at a press conference, General Manager Mr Kees Hartzuiker said all guestrooms, the ten restaurants and bars, the Grand Ballroom and meeting rooms, public areas and support facilities within Hilton Kuala Lumpur will be functional from day one.

"This is a luxurious hotel with real substance, differentiated by innovative products and small design surprises. For a start, the main dining arena has seven outlets housed under a towering four-storey dome. Each eatery, beginning with the theatrical and very funky contemporary Chinese restaurant, cascades around a spiralling stairwell until it meets an open kitchen restaurant serving local Malaysian cuisine at the ground level.

"Guest rooms start at 46 square metres and have been designed in such a way that the bathroom walls slide back to create a large, open room. Guests can relax in the extra-deep bathtub, and look out over the bed through the ceiling to floor windows, to views of Parliament House and Lake Gardens.

"There's a completely different aspect to Kuala Lumpur and, despite being in one of the rising city precincts, it's refreshingly green."

All rooms have been fitted with 42" plasma screen TVs, (the first and largest commercial hotel to feature this) an extra LCD TV in the bathroom, a rain shower, modern glass desks with ergonomically designed office chairs, broadband facilities and luxurious furnishings.

The hotel will also feature the country's largest freeform pool, at 120 metres, and a two-storey state-of-the-art health club with four massage and treatment rooms.

One floor is dedicated to the meetings market and will house a 1,250 square metre, ten-metre high, pillarless ballroom and 13 meeting rooms. Equipped with the latest technology, the ballroom will be the ideal venue for conferences and social events and has a capacity for 1,500 guests.

To create a contemporary hotel with a real sense of place, the Hilton Kuala Lumpur has more than 2,500 original art pieces and sculptures on display, over 85 percent of which are done by local talent.

Commenting on the new address, Mr Hartzuiker explained that the hotel is strategically linked to KL Sentral, the new transportation hub that unites the city with Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

"It was prudent business sense to locate the new property within the multi billion Ringgit KL Sentral. We will fill the hotel with visitors from inter-state as well as Japan, Singapore, Asia, Arabian Peninsular, and the USA. For these international and out-of-town guests, the high-speed express rail link (ERL) with seamless check-in facilities will link them to KLIA in 28 minutes guaranteed."
