After a fantastic stay in the SilverKris Business Class Lounge in Terminal 3, we were looking forward to our flight in Singapore Airlines Regional Business Class in the Airbus A350-900. Find out in the following trip report what amenities the cabin offers and what service you can expect on short-haul flights within Asia.
The route from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore was the busiest international flight route in the world in 2018 with 30,187 flights per year, according to an analysis by travel information service OAG Aviation Worldwide. The coronavirus pandemic has certainly reduced this figure significantly. Nevertheless, there are still numerous daily connections between the two Southeast Asian metropolises. We opted for a morning flight with Singapore Airlines. I was very excited to see what the Singapore Airlines Business Class Boeing 737-800 NG had to offer in regional traffic.
After more than a week, our stay in Malaysia was unfortunately already over. Before flying with Singapore Airlines via Singapore to Bangkok, we were able to relax in the Plaza Premium Lounge Kuala Lumpur before our departure. Find out what the lounge in the international departures area of Terminal 1 has to offer and how to access it in our lounge review.
Opened in 2004, the Hilton Kuala Lumpur is ranked among the best hotels in Southeast Asia according to TripAdvisor. After a relaxing time on the Malaysian island of Penang, we wanted to unwind a bit in Kuala Lumpur before our flight to Bangkok. Find out whether the five-star Hilton Kuala Lumpur was the right choice in the following hotel review.
The introduction of the new Turkish Airlines Business Class Boeing 787-9 was heavily advertised by the airline and caused a lot of hype even before its launch. When I booked this flight to Kuala Lumpur, my anticipation was also immeasurable. You can find out whether my expectations were fulfilled in the following detailed trip report.
During our stay in Malaysia, we definitely wanted to see more than just Kuala Lumpur. Since we had already been to the Malaysian island of Langkawi a few years ago, we decided to go to Penang this time. Fortunately, the island also has a Hilton hotel, so we spent three nights at the DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Penang.
After checking out of the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Kuala Lumpur, we travelled by LRT and KLIA Express to the international airport. The journey took an hour in total, with a short wait at KL Sentral. We flew to Singapore with an airline that was new to me - Jetstar Asia Economy Class.
As HHonors Gold members, we had three Hilton hotels to choose from for our stay in Kuala Lumpur. We chose the DoubleTree by Hilton Kuala Lumpur due to its good value and central location. Read our review to find out what our impressions of the hotel were.
Langkawi Airport is a typical small tourist airport. The routes are short, and the lines, at least on this Saturday, weren't long either. We flew to Kuala Lumpur on a Malaysia Airlines Economy Class Boeing 737-800.
Our second hotel on the island of Langkawi was the Berjaya Langkawi Resort. Upon our arrival at 2 p.m., our room, or rather the Rainforest Chalet we had booked, was not yet ready. The reception process was very unprofessional for a 4-star hotel and took forever. Perhaps we were simply unlucky with the staff.
