Malaysia Airlines had announced that from 4th April 2006,open-dated tickets for pure malaysian domestic tickets are not permitted and below are the guidelines:

 

-For tickets issued on or after 4th April 2006,open dated tickets for first outbound travel on pure malaysian domestic sectors will be discontinued.All tickets issued must bear a flight number,date and status on the first outbound sector.

 

-Issuance of open dated tickets for pure malaysian domestic sectors on all types of malaysian domestic fares:

 

*Senior citizen fare,

*GV3/SGV3(Group fare),

*Student fare,etc

 

and all classes will not be permitted.However all issuance of subject to load tickets will continue such as senior citizens/student tickets.

 

-This ruling will only apply on MH ticket stock.Issuance of open dated malaysian domestic sectors on other airline documents will still be accepted.

 

-For open dated tickets issued prior to 4th April,customer service staff (CSS)will redirect passengers to ticket office for ticket reissuance.Ticketing staff are to reissue tickets to read the specific flight that passenger had booked to travel.

 

-IMPORTANT NOTE-

 

At airport situation,where passenger produced ticket showing-OK-status,the passenger can be uplifted using the same ticket provided that the applicable cancellation fees are charged and an MCO is issued against the payment made.
