    UK citizen's don't need a visa:
    Commonwealth Nationals (apart from Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka), British Protected Persons or Nationals of Ireland, Switzerland, Netherlands, San Marino and Liechtenstein, do not require a visa to enter Malaysia.

    That is a good price with a good company in 2 excellent hotels. You should be getting an upgrade in both hotels (Early booking offer at Traders, and Honeymoon offer at Andaman).

    If you start trying to cut more from that you will be losing something along the way.

    And make sure your passport is valid for 6 months from the date of return to the UK from your honeymoon. No visa required.
  • Hi
    As you are a UK citizen you don't need a visa, you will automatically be allowed to stay at least 30 day from your day of arrival.
    Be aware though that you should have a valid passport with at least 6 months left on it.

    To get another quote try Travelbagasia.co.uk. also let them know that you are on your honeymoon most hotels will supply you with lots of nice extras for free.
    Good luck.

    I did KL-> Penang-> Langkawi-> KL last year in 2 weeks.

    KL is interesting enough but 3 days is probably enough. Chinatown is fun but the new bits could be anywhere in the world. There are a load of top-end hotels near KLCC all at less than grim Blackpool B&B prices. I stopped in the Imperial Hotel (3 nights for about £100 I think) - it was a bit lacking in character but the service and rooms were fantastic (biggest I've ever had anywhere) and the location is great.

    I loved Penang. Georgetown is a fantastic town - all Asian hustle and bustle with fantastic food and an amazing mix of cultures. The nearby beaches aren't up to much though. I treated myself there and stopped in the Traders Hotel in an executive club room. It was a bit pokey but still only about £50 a night.

    Langkawi (take the ferry from Penang) is totally different. Probably the most relaxing place I have ever been to - ideal for a honeymoon - it's just a very quiet place where nothing much happens, there no real nightlife and everyone seems to go to bed early (taxis stop running at 10pm). I spent a great week just wandering around and hanging out at chilled out beach bars (tax free!), but it's probably not somewhere I'll go back to soon.

    The Adamaman is supposed to be great but it's a bit out of the way and there are plenty of other resort hotels elsewhere which are cheaper - but, hey, it's your Honeymoon.

    All in All, Malaysia was brilliant. Compared to Thailand it's more organised, calmer and better behaved - but a little more expensive and maybe not quite as much fun. Malaysia it's like Thailand's sensible older brother.

    I would definitely try to squeeze Penang into your schedule. It's one of my favourite places anywhere.

    For internal flights, Air Asia and Malaysian are both fantasic with rock bottom prices and excellent service.

    i was also told by a few people that when you get to the hotel you can always upgrade your room for only a lilttle fee, is this true?

    Anything is possible but you won't know until you get there but at best you'll only be saving a few pounds a day. It might help mentioning that it's your honeymoon.
