By connecting Asean and North Asia to the US with our world-class low fares offering, we will make it possible for those who could only dream of a vacation across the Pacific to take that trip," AirAsia X Group CEO Datuk Kamarudin Meranun said in the launch.

AirAsia's long-haul arm will be operating a total of four flights in a week from Kuala Lumpur to Honolulu, Hawaii via Osaka, Japan.
The company said transiting in Osaka doesn't require a Japanese visa during the two-hour stopover, you can return to your seat after clearing security with any carry-on luggage or belongings
Alternatively, you can also make use of AirAsia's Fly-Thru service to connect seamlessly to Honolulu from other cities within AirAsia and AirAsia X’s extensive flight network with just one additional stop.
But if you want to spend some extra downtime in Osaka, you can opt for the ‘multi-city option’ on AirAsia's website prior to booking your flights
However, do note that you would need to have a Japanese visa ready if you plan to opt for this option.
