Malaysian Airlines (MAS)
  • Tip Rating:
  • When one has no time to spare and just simple HAS to get to the islands at the east coast (like me), then one has no choice but to take the flight out of Kuala Lumpur to Kota Bharu or Kuala Terengannu.

    I normally take MAS flights as its easier to get my travel agent to do my bookings but even the online booking (domestic flights only at the moment) are pretty good. Now, I am waiting them to implement online bookings for international flights !! :-)

    The level of service is, on the overall, pretty much alright. Of course, you will get the occasional disgrunted aircabin crew !

    Driving along Peninsular West Coat
  • Tip Rating:
  • The PLUS Highway has transformed driving along the West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Gone are the days of dangerous overtaking, winding turns or following queues of lorries.

    Now you can drive from Kuala Lumpur to Penang within 5 hours within speed limits. You can reach Singapore from Kuala Lumpur in less than 5 hours too.

    The PLUS Highway is toll highway of divided traffic of double lanes. There are many regular rest stops for food, relaxation or to top up the petrol as well as exits to various destinations.

    You can use cash, "Touch N Go" prepaid cards or SMART scan cards. During festival holidays, there is heavy traffic and travel time may double.

    So you can drive from the north starting from Kayu Hitam, at the border of Thailand, through the States of Kedah, Penang, Perak, Selangor to Kuala Lumpur and continue through the States of Negri Sembilan, Melaka and Johor to Johor Bahru and cross to Singapore.

    Happy safe driving.

    Kuala Lumpur International Airport
  • Tip Rating:
  • The new Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL) is a modern and efficient airport. Unfortunately, it is about 40 miles (64 kilometers) from the city center, so it can be expensive to get from the airport into the city. Try to book a hotel that has a transfer service to and from the airport.

    Airlines serving Kuala Lumpur International Airport: Air Asia, Air-India, Air Mauritius, Asiana Airways, Austrian Airlines, Biman Bangladesh Airlines, Cathay Pacific Airways, China Airlines, China Eastern Airlines, China Southern Airlines, Emirates, EVA Air, First Cambodia Airlines, Garuda Indonesia, Gulf Air, Indian Airlines, Iran Air, Japan Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Korean Air, Lion Airlines, Lufthansa German Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, Merpati Nusantara Airline, MAI-Myanmar Airways International, Philippine Airlines, Qatar Airways, Royal Brunei Airlines, Royal Nepal Airlines, Saudi Arabian Airlines, Singapore Airlines, SriLankan Airlines, Thai Airways International, Uzbekistan Airways, Vietnam Airlines, Xiamen Airlines, and Yemenia Yemen Airways.

    Express Bus Tips
  • Tip Rating:
  • Buses you can rely with clean and comfortable seats are Transnational, Nice, Plusliner and Konsortium, they are my choice of long distance buses in Malaysia. Sure you can try others but I dare not guarantee.

    I only like bus if you ask me, the best way to get around in Malaysia is by Bus (Excellent) try not to get train because they never punctual yet they are too slow, besides they don't even have canteen and almost impossible to sleep at night. I take train only when there's no more choices

    For tourists in Thailand, you can easily buy a bus tickets cost 550b from Haadyai to Kuala Lumpur.

    How to get to Bangkok?
    You can take a mini-van from Penang cost RM20 to Haadyai and change to Thai sleeper train cost 600 baht or bus cost 550 baht.

    From Singapore
    (near Lavender street) take a long distance bus to Kuala Lumpur, S$15 apporx 6 hours. Drop tourists at KL's Puduraya station. Budget and Luxurious all available around these area.

    Buses from the Ban San...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Buses from the Ban San terminus in Singapore travel to many different points on peninsular Malaysia; buses from Bangkok or Haadyai in Thailand travel to both the West and East coasts of Malaysia as well as to Kuala Lumpur.
    Entering Malaysia by rental car is not difficult from either Thailand or Singapore, and the North-South highway makes travel along the west coast quite convenient (10-12 hours
    from Singapore to the Thai border).

    You need all these to go round Malaysia. Planes, trains, boats, automobiles, motorbikes, and your own pair of legs of course.

    Then you don't miss anything worth seeing.

    Are you fit enough ?
