Bargain Asia Flights

Leave a minimum of two hours. Three for International flights. Yes KL is worth a look. Why not?

How is it Kuala Lumpur? Worth it a 1day visit?

It's an interesting place. Not a wild and chaotic as Bangkok but not as organised and uptight as Singapore - it's somewhere in the middle.

The area around the Petronas Towers could be anywhere in the world - all shopping malls and Starbucks. Chinatown is interesting during the day but my favourite area is around Bukit Bintang which at night becomes a huge street market and entertainment area - some of the best food I have had anywhere has been on street stalls there costing next to nothing.

Not sure a day would do it justice but two or three days is enough in KL then I would move on to explore deeper in Malaysia.

Not checked through, these are individual flights.

that means that I have to wait to claim the baggage and so extra time between the flights.

What will happee in case I miss the 2nd flight?

I wouldn't like to add extra hours to a long flight already

Yes, you have to pass through immigration, collect your bags, go through customs, walk around to check-in and check-in for your next flight.
I've been delayed 3hours with AirAsia before, but I've also departed/arrived 25minutes early - usually the morning flights run on-time and throughout the day there's a knock-on effect making the evening flights run late.
They're a point-to-point airline so if you miss your flight you'll have to hope they take sympathy and re-book you for free (providing there are available seats).
I recently booked a STN->KUL return (inc bags and seats) for £214 and a KUL->CMB (Sri Lanka) return for £40 but have decided to spend 2 nights in KUL primarily in case the STN->KUL is delayed.

BTW, does anyone know what exit seat 31A/K is like?

It's only £5 and not the usual £20, I assume it's got the part of the exit protruding in some way but I decided to book it as it must be better than a "standard" seat.

BTW, on Air-Asia flights (not Air-Asia X) "premium" seats are only £5, I bagged 1A both ways for my 3hour+ flight to Sri Lanka - bargain!

To check what seats are like on many airlines (not all) try https://www.seatguru.com

Don't think this flight is covered though.

I'd looked there but Air Asia don't feature so I based my judgement on the layout of an Air-France A340 who give that seat a yellow/green rating due to the proximity of the door.

Have a good time DaMaNiAc82 we'll probably pass you in KL and never know it.
