A Lady, The World's Wanderer: Your Trip: Free Advises

Welcome to Malaysia.

Someone asked, if you have plan to visit Malaysia (maybe in future) from UK, here are some of my free advises:

i) our local cheap flight, you may subscribe for their latest update/info: http://www.airasia.com

>> Besides, they have some routes connecting among asian cities.

>> If you're looking for an adventurous trip, you can hop on overnight train/bus eg esp going to Singapore/Thailand which are next to Malaysia's border.

ii) I am forwarding their latest promotion (if you're interested), refer to below image:

>> actually, they have frequent promo but, of course with different rates/travel date/places

iii) If you plan to come over on July/Aug 2012, pleaseee don't, starting from 21st July till a month onwards. It's fasting month (Ramadhan). Not recommended since you're muslim, must be tiring for touring around, and of course people do perform more religious activities during holy month :)

>> Lets check our public holidays calendar, to plan your travel date: Malaysia holidays-2012

iv) for hotels to stay, we have a lot of choices. It's just depending on your budget/which location you preferred.

>> But, i don't think money is an issue for you, since our local currency is away cheaperrrr than yours. 1GBP = 4.8 RM (as of today): Click link to Currency Converter

v) International flight UK-MSIA, you may survey at etihad, qatar airways (transit at bahrain), quite cheaper about rm1-2k than britishairways, MAS (our local flight). But,it still depends on current promo.

>> straight flight (non-transit) will take you 12-13hours journey...really far far far distances :)

>> if transit, it will take you almost a day, to reach Kuala Lumpur.

vi) If you plan 1 week vacation here, pleaseee consider 2days off for your return flight (LDN-MSIA / MSIA - LDN), which means you only have 5days of touring around+jetlag sickness...hehe

vii) Pleaseee consider 7hours time difference between LDN-MSIA, which means MSIA is 7hours advance :)
