air hub

by ponloke

With Air Asia, it is easier and cheaper for Malaysian and foreign visitors to visit Malaysia and the SE Asia. Because of it, Malaysia Airlines will also start Firefly, a local budget flight. Travelling has never been so easier and attractive. Go to their webs and register. You will be informed if there is any promotions. I found that the package / hotels rates offer by them are equally attractive.If you enjoy the natural sceneries like the tropical forest, villages scenes, plantations and beaches, then travel overland by buses is the other way. All the bus terminals in Malaysia are centered lacated and fares are cheap relatively. And we have very good interstate highways.

All over town zoom-zooming are the locals on their motors. you can hire these if you are adventurous but a chaffeur driven ac-taxi puts your mind at ease and breezes you out on your voyage. Very affordable taxis to everywhere!

Airport Security Charge as of Jan 15, 2007

by SLLiew

Effective January 15, 2007, all passengers using airports operated by Malaysia Airports Bhd will need to pay a security charge of RM6 for international flights and RM3 for domestic flights. The charge will added into air ticket cost.Good news that this extra security charge does not apply to tickets purchased prior to January 15. So fuel charge, airport tax charge and other surchage, I wonder what is next. Carbon emission charge?

Self Service Petrol (Gas) Stations

by SLLiew

In Malaysia, by law, all petrol (gas) stations are self-service. You take note of the pump number, prepay by cash or credit card and fill up. Petrol price is controlled at RM1.92 per liter. All are unleaded. Some petrol companies have a higher premium grade or lower regular grade in addition to the regular grade.Major petrol companies are Petronas, BP, Esso, Caltex and Shell.Most petrol stations have restrooms. Note that "air" is water, "24 jam" is 24 hours in Malay.

Transportation

Larger cities are well serviced by buses, trains and taxis which are oth efficient and reasonably priced. In KL, you can hop on the LRT or monorail to get around the city easily. The exxpress rail link will whiz you between the city and the international airport in just 28 minutes.

Driving along Peninsular West Coat

by SLLiew

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...

General Transport tips in Malaysia

by maffustan

Local Bus: Noisy rattle traps but reliable and very low cost. Learn local bus routes/times and save a fortune on short journeys. Also a good way to get in conversation with the locals.Long distance coach: Just as good quality as you get in Western Europe but only a fraction of the cost. Can sometimes be a bit cold due to overuse of Air-con. Malaysia Air: A little overpriced in my opinion but ok.Air Asia: Low cost Airline but timetables don’t mean a thing. Was delayed every time I used them by 2 hours and will never use them again.Taxis: Avoid unless a) You are in a group of 4 and can split the cost. b) You have money to burn. c) You have no other choice.Many taxi drivers refuse to use the meter (all of them in KL) and if they do often take you by a longer route. The shuttle bus from KL airport to the city centre only costs 20% as much as a taxi. The biggest rip-off of all is when you...

Easy drive on East-West Highway

by SLLiew

You can drive or take a bus on the East-West Highway connecting Gerik (Perak) to Jeli (Kelantan). From Penang, you can drive to Sungei Petani and then turn to Baling (Kedah) and towards Gerik. From Ipoh, there is a route from Kuala Kangsar to Gerik although more narrow and winding.The scene is spectacular of jungles. Do stop at Banding Island at the reservoir lakeside for coffee and enjoy the view there. Do watch out for changing road repair or conditions.

Meter is the Way to Go

by Mel&Mike

Like many other places in the world the first place you will probably be ripped off is the taxi. Luckily it seems to work best if you use metered taxis and apparently the prices are fair. If you want to avoid hassles, check that they turn it on!
