Despite being on a very familiar flight route with a familiar airline, this time, I'm heading to a rather different destination. As with most daytime connections through KL, I am booked on Malaysia Airlines MH602 from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, the first flight of the day, in order to meet the connections in KLIA for … Continue reading Flight Review – Malaysia Airlines MH602: Singapore to Kuala Lumpur (for London Heathrow) by Boeing 737-800 (ML-series)
Coming in from my flight from Yangon and checking on my onward flight's gate, I got on the Aerotrain from the Main Terminal Building to the Satellite Terminal for Gate C6 for my Malaysia Airlines MH609 flight from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore. I did consider getting the bus, but with not many people waiting on the … Continue reading Flight Review – Malaysia Airlines MH609: Kuala Lumpur to Singapore (from Yangon) by Boeing 737-800
The KLIA Transit Area Shuttle Bus is a new permanent addition to KLIA, first started during scheduled Aerotrain maintenance periods and thereafter during frequent breakdowns. The KLIA Transit Area Shuttle Bus plies between the Main Terminal Building (MTB) and the Satellite Terminal, on a similar route with the existing Aerotrain. The KLIA Transit Area Shuttle Bus … Continue reading KLIA Transit Area Shuttle Bus: Satellite Building to Main Terminal Building by Shuttle Bus – Alternative to Aerotrain
The Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Aerotrain is, according to the initial airport design, the only way to get between Satellite Terminal and Main Terminal Building.

Mauritius is probably best known as a luxurious tropical island destination with hotels on white sandy beaches with mountainous backdrops in the middle of the Indian Ocean. I got myself a ticket on Air Mauritius from KL to a tropical island, but instead of one that's about 9 hours away, I was headed to a neighbouring island instead … Continue reading Flight Review – Air Mauritius MK647: Kuala Lumpur to Singapore by Airbus A330-200

With a fare difference of almost 4 times more if I had flown non-stop from Changi Airport, I decided to get a bus to KL the night before instead to catch the Malindo Air/Batik Air Malaysia flight OD580 to get to Phnom Penh. Malindo OD580 is the only flight to Phnom Penh by Malindo, once … Continue reading Malindo Air/Batik Air Malaysia OD580: Kuala Lumpur to Phnom Penh by Boeing 737-800
As quickly as the sale season started, I was down to my last Malindo Business Class ticket for my trip back to Singapore. Having enjoyed the premiums, I'm probably going to miss the convenience and experience of high-flying. Hopefully I don't get used to this though, or else my wallet will cry. Having checked-in at … Continue reading Malindo Air/Batik Air Malaysia OD805: Last Flight from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore by Business Class
After all these budget travels, it's time to spend a little bit more to indulge myself by flying back home on Business Class with Malindo Air. Though by "little bit more", I meant as a comparison to a normal bus or train ride. Also, this might be my last few times flying with the Malindo … Continue reading Malindo Air OD805: Kuala Lumpur to Singapore by Business Class
