Hello,

We will be flying from KL to Kota Bahru and back with Air Asia. I understand each person is allowed to carry a maximum of 15 kgs. However, we expect to carry around 20 kgs each.

Do we have a problem? Please inform me about your experiences!

Hi All,
I need to cover as much tourist places as possible in KL in about 12 hours.
Can somebody advise the most happening places.
I am planing to stay near the Petronas Towers any suggestions on the budget hotels there are also welcome.

r there ny shops in kl where they sell perfume testers at low cost or imitation perfumes which smell the same as original n r less in value..there r such shops in bangkok and turkey...do u knw of ny such stalls or shops in kl..

Just wandering if someone can help us out. We are booked to stay at the Traders Hotel in KL is this the same as the Shangri La or different and if so is it far our of the city or in the Golden Triangle as they call it.

We are planning our days and the distance of where we are located will help us alot.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I've decided to go to Georgetown, Penang for 3 nights but cannot decide whether to have 2 full days there or 2 and a half.

Whilst in KL I like to see the following sights:
Merdeka Sqr
Lake Gardens
KL Tower
Pretonas Tower
KLCC
Chinatown
Little India
Central Market
Batu Caves
Possibly Mellaca

I'll have 4 and a half days in KL and leaving for Penang on the 5th day. Would it be better to leave for Penang early in the morning or later on in the evening? If I leave later on in the day, I can then have an extra day in KL. So, depending on when I leave KL, I'll will have either 2 and a half days or 2 days in Penang.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

We are in kl in October and want to have a day at a spa....if they aren't to expensive can you tell me where there is good and reasonably priced spas in kl???

Hi l am wanting to go to KL via Bali and need some advice please firstly which would be the best route to take? I was thinking of going to bali visiting there first then transfering on AirAsia to KL, Dont know if this is the best way to do it?
Then need advice on a hotel our requirements would be suited for a family of 4 2 adults 2 children 12 and 10 so if anyone knows any hotel that would cater for that please.
We would like to be near the mono rail, towers the major shopping malls, famous shopping like china town as this is our first time to KL am a little worried will get lost.I know perhaps wont be able to find a hotel that suits all the above but any help is appreciated.
Also l was reading we could catch a taxi from the LCCT straight to our hotel? if so how much should l pay? Sorry about all the questions .
Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone , we are heading to KL shortly and were wondering do you haggle at the main shopping centres or is that reserved only for the markets ? Only have two days to quench the wifes shopping desires so any tip would be most welcomed . And yes , i will be the "mule" carrying all the shoes , handbags , clothing etc ..........Thanks in advance, Darryl

have been planning to travel by KTM from up north to Kuala Lumpur. I am a 20-something female and an elderly lady will be traveling with me. Our train will arrive at KL Central around 6 am and we will have to wait there until 9 am before rushing for an appointment at the embassy row in Jalan Tun Razak. My question is how comfortable and safe will it be to wait at KL Central at 6 am? And how much is the taxi fees to go down to US embassy from KL Central and how long will will the trip take?
After my appointment, I have to wait until 8 pm to board the train again to go back north.

My second alternative is I can use the AirAsia flight and stay overnight at a hotel near Jalan Tun Razak before attending my appointment at the embassy. However, this alternative seems expensive even though it is much more comfortable. Do anyone know any inexpensive hotels near the embassy for a budget around RM 150 to RM 210.

The elderly woman traveling with me has an injured foot and has a hard time getting on and off high elevated areas. So I also have to ask that for someone with such medical problem, which will be easier to get on and off, KTM or AirAsia? She is scared to board the train because of her foot injury.
This is my first time traveling to Kuala Lumpur and I never had any experiences with either of the above transportations.

Also I will be traveling with a lot of important documents, so I am scared of pickpockets and personal safety is very important for me.

Hello,

My family is planning to travel Langkawi in September. I am having trouble booking flight and hotel accomodation with airasia website.

Thanks in advanced

Hi,
I would be arriving in KL at around 16:00 by the airasia flight from phuket @ LCCT on the 31st of july 2008.
I am planning to stay in the heart of Chinatown just to experience the magic.
Next morning I have to catch the 8:00 am flight to Langakawi.

What are the options available to go from chinatown to Kl sentral to catch the airport bus. I am looking for budget travel.
Since I have to reach the airport atleast 2 hrs prior think will have to leave chinatown at around 5 am . Any suggestions

Hi there,

It has been 15 months here in Kuala Lumpur for me as an expat and I still feel there's much more to see in this place. I hear there are beautiful places just outside KL that are just a drive away. I'd like to see if there's anyone here who'd be interested to meet up for trekking/hiking activities during the weekend. Also for people interested in photography, like me, this would be a great way capture nature. More than all it would help to break the monotony at weekends watching TV or sitting on the internet and to get the body moving to do some physical activity. Ideal places for me would be like FRIM or Bukit Cahaya in Shah Alam for example.

I'm no big organizer of events but I'm taking the initiative to start something that I think would be a great way to unwind after a long week of sedentary work. Any suggestions regarding the place to visit are highly appreciated. Looking forward to replies. Alternatively you can email me jayakrishna.j@gmail.com

Jay

Hi,

My husband and I have tickets on flight leaving Sydney on 31 August 08 and returning 17th September. I've heard that they have cancelled all flights from September onwards. We have started making plans for our holidays and from what we are told, we have to wait another 2 weeks to know what they will offer us re our return flight which is no longer. Has anybody got more clear information regarding this? We have already booked domestic from KL which we may now lose money on. So we don't waste any more money we need to have an idea of what is happening. Hoping someone out there can help us.

Can anyone help us. We would like to get a map of KL before arriving there so we can work out how to get around and the best places to see.Especially one that could show us where the Train station and bus stations are located and the major parts of the city and country. Is there somewhere online we could buy one.

Thanks for your help.
