Malaysia Guide (Thread 9)

^ we have approximately 23hours (plane arriving before 11am then we'll leave 10am the next day). Is it worth it? parang kasi from LCCT, it's a big commute going to the city.

[phurple0515]

^ ok naman sis.  from LCCT take the shuttle to KLIA station, nasa labas ng LCCT yong shuttle, then just say you are going to KL sentral.  so from LCCT to KL sentral, nasa 30 mins lang siguro.  then from KL sentral, take the Putra LRT, baba kayo ng KLCC para Petronas na kayo agad.  you can still go to Bukit bintang via the walkway from KLCC to Pavilion Mall if you want.

[little_princess]

^ we'll be having luggage with us, can we take a cab from KL Sentral to Petronas? We're thinking of spending the night in Traders Hotel since they have a spectacular Tower View daw.

[phurple0515]

^ oh, there are lockers for rent sa KL sentral sis.  you can try to backread or google about it.  pero kung kaya niyo naman bitbitin, ok lang naman.  If you want to take a cab from KL sentral to Petronas, get the taxi sa 1st floor, me bilihan na don ng tiket where you pay for the fare na. 

[little_princess]

^ would you know how much the fare from KL Sentral to Petronas area? Will check the locker out but most probably just stay the night in a central hotel then just travel back to the airport in the AM.

If Malaysia Airline na domestic, how busy is the airport? Ok lang ba 2 hours before the flight andun na kami?

[phurple0515]

^ not sure sis, baka nasa RM10-15 siguro.

KLIA airport laging busy.  Usually pag domestic, 1 hr before flight ang sinasabi, pero being there ng 2 hrs, is better.  di naman nakakabore sa KLIA.

[pret_ty68]

^
How about sa LCCT airport sis. Mga ilang hours ba before nang flight dapat nandun? Na ka ka bore ba sa LCCT?

[little_princess]

^ wondering the same thing, parang we just want to stay in LCCT and hang out before our flight to Penang. We have a 4 hour layover.

May duty free shops din ba dun and lots of food options?

[phurple0515]

^^sis Pret_ty68, same lang naman with KLIA and LCCT.  Pang low cost nga lang ang LCCT so dont expect it to be as grand as KLIA.

^ may mga food options don sis, like McDonalds, KFC, Coffee Bean, Starbucks, etc....me duty free shops din...pero yong talagang mas malaking shop ng duty free andon sa baba sa waiting area for boarding.

[little_princess]

^ thanks sis! I think we will skip Petronas na lang and stay in LCCT. The Duty Free shops in LCCT are just the same sa regular airports? Para I can shop there na lang

[phurple0515]

^ oo ata sis.  I don't usually go to duty free shops, hehe, i feel like it's the same price like those in the malls

meron na ba dito nakapag-stay sa Placin - Binjai 8 Residence KLCC? it is a serviced apartment near petronas tower.

[phurple0515]

^ me serviced apartments pang mas malapit kesa sa Binjal ata sis.  Looking to the maps, malapit siya sa Ampang Park, Citibank.  Siguro mga 10 mins. walk pa to KLCC.

[ayionick]

^yung Placin - Binjai 8 Residence KLCC mga gaano kalayong lakaran? gusto lang kasi namin puntahan yung petronas tower. pero kung may iba pa na malalapit lang dun, isasabay na din namin. galing kasi kame ng SG then by bus we are going to KL. 2 days plan namin sa KL.

[phurple0515]

^ sis, as I have mentioned in the previous reply, from Binjai to KLCC siguro nasa 10mins., mga 3-5 mins naman siguro to Ampang LRT station.

[blue-purple]

Sis sa mga naka pag putrajaya, we roam around by bus hindi naman kami mawawala? or may bus talagang pang tour sa putrajaya? tipid mode kasi kami kaya ayaw ng prepaid taxi hehe thanks musta pala sa Malaysia ngayon? malala na ba haze? Thanks March 15 na kasi flight ko to SG then baka punta kami MY ng March 18-20

[phurple0515]

^ walang pang-tour na putrajaya, sa me taxi kiosk sa baba ng putrajaya station ng KLIA, nag-ooffer sila don ng 1 hr ride for putrajaya.  above RM50 ata yong rate.  yong bus,it goes around Putrajaya, tapos pabalik ng train station.  Pero it's not a tour bus, it's the feeder bus of the train station.

Monday haze for me was the worst....kahapon, wala ring ulan kaya medyo nadagdagan na naman ang haze....mainit pa rin....pag umulan kasi saglit rin lang and usually sa hapon, but the rain is usually caused by their cloud seeding.

mga sis! for those who arrive sa LCCT airport ng midnight (mga past 12), bukas pa yung bilihan nun ng ticket for the skybus?  Based dun kasi sa trip schedule ng skybus, meron pa silang 2:45AM na last trip.  Plan sana namin na dun nalng bumili ng ticket pagkadating, kasi we are not sure if may delay si cebu pac or sa pagkuha ng luggage or sa immigration.  anybody know if bukas ba yung bilihan ng ticket?  or mas ok ba na mag purchase na online ng bus tickets? tia!

[phurple0515]

^ sis, pag cebu pac na ganong oras ang dating ko rin, i take the skybus, kahit 2am pa.  ok din naman to buy bus ticket online kasi mas makakasave ka.

[spice17]

^ sis, pag cebu pac na ganong oras ang dating ko rin, i take the skybus, kahit 2am pa.  ok din naman to buy bus ticket online kasi mas makakasave ka.

thank you sis! tama ba understanding ko yung nabibili sa online wala naman nakalagay na time, so first come first serve sya... kung ano yung maabutan namin na schedule pede na namin sakyan as long as meron pang available na slot/seats?

Another question din... about sa Go Genting Gold package, nakakabili ba nun sa KL Sentral?  Seems like wala akong makitang bilihan online nun or even sa RW site.  Sa mga naka-try availing this Go Genting, on the day itself na ba kyo bumili ng ticket?  I am thinking kasi na if ever sa KL Sentral kami bibili, mga noontime na kami makapunta dun (we just plan to spend the afternoon sa Genting and not really whole day since close namn yung outdoor park).
