I need to book a flight to Melbourne but need to stop over for a couple of days in Kuala Lumpa are their any sites that allow you to add a couple of days layover into thier flight calcs or would I have just buy single air fares?

i.e.
London to KL
KL - Melbourne
Melbourne - London

you should be able to do stopovers you want. i've done so before. try calling sta or one of the other big travel agencies like trailfinders. they are used to doing longhaul / rtw trips with stopovers.

If I've put this in the wrong place as just the flights sub group can someone who knows how to move it for me?

I was hoping to do it all online if poss but will give Trailfinders a go

try Malaysian airlines - from my days as a travel agent I remember you could stopover and add up to 2 internal flights (within Malaysia)

they also offerered excellent accommodation deals

don't know if this is still the case, times have changed!

Qantas/BA will have tickets where you can layover too.

I used to be an STA agent - they will def be able to do this for you,it's an easy itinerary!

yeah i'd recommend sta. i've used them twice for longhaul trips with stopovers. i wasn't a student either.

https://www.airasia.com for your first leg to KL. They also fly to northern Australia from KL too and they are very very cheap.

We are going January to Perth WA and have a five night stop-over in Kuala Lumpur at no extra cost with malaysian Airlines. We booked with Southall Travel. Just not too sure where to stay in KL now. Heard Bukit Bintang for all the usual but most Hotels we explore have not too good ratings!! Anybody able to offer advice/ Thanks in advance.

Have you looked at https://www.airasia.com? then add in a https://www.tunehotel.com in KL - worth a look. I know they fly this route,
I booked it.

Best price this year would have been around £400 inc return flights and hotel in KL (Per person FULLY inc) :whistle:

I use Kayak.co.uk to check for the cheapest prices then usually will go direct to the airlines it suggests to finetune the trip. It has a multi-city function which you may find helpful.

I'd check out Tigerairways and Air asia as a couple of low cost options as well. If you have the time I'd probably go with a London - KL return with Air Asia, then a Melbourne - KL return. I looked into this last year (well London - KL then KL - Perth return) it knocked a couple of hundred pounds off.
