Kuala Lumpur (Cont'd...)

For booking of Kuala Lumpur trip, there are several ways to DO IT.

If it's your Virgin trip to KL, Look here!
2D/3D Free and Easy Package
Travel Agents like Transtar, Gunung Raya, Five Stars and Konsortium offer 2D/3D Kuala Lumpur trip with extension allowed. Package normally includes return coach/flight and hotel stay with/without breakfast. Check out 'my recommendations' on the left.

If it's NOT your Virgin trip to KL, Look here!
Coach from SIN-KL and back
You can book your coach seats to Kuala Lumpur with the Travel Agents in Golden Mile. Please take note that some of the Travel Agents do not sell the sector back from KL to SIN at all. Therefore, please check with individual Agents before any decision made.
Alternatively, if the Agents run out of seats, you can try the container office at the Queen Street's bus interchange(where SIN-Johor Express bus departs) for seats but beware that their coaches maybe a bit run down.. Another alternative, go to Johor's Larkin Interchange (where SBS bus 170 end its route) to buy seats to KL, same thing, coach might be a bit run down..
As for KL-SIN sector, you can buy from PuduRaya Bus Terminal upon arrival if you can't find/buy any KL-SIN trip from SIN.. Check out all the counters in the bus terminal and opposite of the terminal.

Train
Never taken a train to KL before, so no adequate information provided. You can check with the Tanjong Pagar Train station for the cost. But advance booking/purchase is recommended.

Flight
For flight, you can go to Changi Airport Terminal 2 to queue for the so called 'Airport Shuttle' to KL with Malaysia or Singapore Airlines. Seats are based on 1st-come-1st-served basis. Or you can book in advance with Travel Agents for this service where seats are guaranteed with full payment.
Alternatively, AirAsia which fly to KL can be booked online. It's much cheaper compare to Malaysia or Singapore Airlines.

Hotels
As for hotels, you can book online with Asiatravel.com where they offer bookings for worldwide hotels. For me, i will normally 'hunt down' the cheapest offer i can grab. These 'hunts' will include one of my favourite Travel Agent, Jetabout Holidays. They have the best offer you can ever find in the market. Promotions that will include a free 1Night stay or Free upgrade to the next catergory of rooms available! Don't believe me?? Here's why you should believe what i said..
My planned trip to Bangkok in Jan'05. I could have booked Meritus Suites Bangkok at a special price with someone we know.. But when i checked on Jetabout and i realised that the hotel (which i'm staying) is offering the 4th Night free, without any hesitation, i booked and paid for my room.! "Nothing special what.. Some Travel Agents also give free 1Night lei.." Yes, some Travel Agents do throw in free 1Night if you book with them but ultimately, their free 1Night doesn't motivate me to book with them at all. Why??? After much calculation from the information i gathered, i realised that i will end up spending more with them! :)

Transfer to Hotel
Taxis! Choose a spot, flag and hop in...!
Warning: Please make sure that you check with the driver the fare 1st before getting in the cab.. Or you can insist on meter if you want but some drivers may not entertain you! :p

For my case, before i booked anything, i will normally do my research on the best promotion i can find in the market. Compare what you've got on your own with what the Travel Agent can offer. If your arrangement is more expensive, go for the Travel Agent's package. Don't lose out any best offer you can find! :)
