Depart to Kuala Lumpur :: Family Trip to Kuala Lumpur - Johor > Malaysia -- Day 1, 5th July 2016

This year, I manage trip to my family and my uncle. We are 8 adults and 1 baby, manage to go together to Malaysia. Our destination is Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru.

With Airasia promotion ticket, we got the cheapest flight ticket from Yogyakarta to Kuala Lumpur.

My little brother and his wife has already started their trip yesterday.

Our flight is at 11:45, but we decided to go to the airport at 07:00. This July, is Lebaran holiday and also School Holiday. We go 1 day before the day, so we are afraid if there's a traffic.

And, we arrived at Yogyakarta at 08:15, and there's no traffic. Maybe we go when it's morning, so people still sleeping haha...

Airasia flight from Yogyakarta, will depart from Terminal B. The location of terminal B at Adisucipto International Airport is about 500m from Terminal A. If you drop by Damri / at Terminal A, you have to walk along the coridor near the arrival hall, then turn left. There's a small path that leading to Terminal B.

If you go there by car / taxi, you can ask the driver to drop-off at Terminal B hall. But you have to pay IDR 4.000 to drop-off only, or if you want to park, then you have to pay IDR 30.000. This is a little expensive, but I heard that with IDR 30.000 you can park all you want to.

The terminal itself is new, and looks nice. There's Airasia (domestic and international), Sriwijaya Air (Domestic), and Silk Air (International).

Because we arrive early, we have to wait until 09:00 to drop-off baggage because the counter will opened 3 hours before departure. Remember, Airasia required self check-in. There's self check-in kiosk in there.

After drop the baggage, we proceed to domestic waiting room. Yes, the imigration is inside the domestic waiting hall. There's some restaurant in there, snack corner and also souvenir shop. Because the imigration open at 11:00, so we wait in there. And, inside the international waiting hall(after you passed the imigration process), there's no restaurant or snack shop, so it's better if we wait at the domestic waiting hall.

Domestic Waiting Hall -- you can see the sign of International Waiting hall, the imigration process is inside there

There's also Kids corner, which kids can play Lego while waiting for boarding.

Then at 11:00, we go to International Waiting Hall. First we proceed to Imigration, then we enter the waiting hall.

Then at 11:15, we boarding. We should depart at 11:45, but at 11:30, we already depart. And we arrive at KLIA 2, at 14:45, 30 minutes earlier than the determined time (15:15).

After we passed the imigration and get our luggage, we go to Entrance 2. Our driver has already waiting in the parking lot. I just need to call him.

I rent a car with driver from Jalan Jajan Hemat. (How to rent a car with Jalan Jajan Hemat, click here - on process). Our driver is Mr Nazri, and he is really kind.

It took 45 minutes to go to Bukit Bintang. We stay at Hotel Capitol Bukit Bintang. I booked via Agoda because I have Agoda Point. I have stayed in this hotel before and I really like it, near everywhere. And because I brought my parents and my uncle, so I decided to stay in here again. It's a little expensive for backpacker tripper. But for family, I think it's enough.

Then after we put our luggage, we decided to go to dinner first. I want to try Meng Kee Grill Fish, because there's so many people recommended it at internet. We go to Alor Street, it's really near with the Hotel, only walk 5 minutes thourg small path near MRT construction.

Fortunately, there's not many people in Alor Street because I think it's still early. We order 5 meals. We choose medium size, because we are 8 people. You can choose the size according your needed.

Grilled Shrimp with black pepper for MYR 40

Gilled Chicken Fish for MYR 50 (abou 800 gram)

Bak Cam Kee for MYR 25

Pare Tofu Soup for MYR 15

and another food, it's vegetables for MYR 15. Total cost MYR 183,38 with rice (MYR 12, 8 portion) and drink (MYR 16, tea) and GST 6%: MYR10,38. The waitress is chinese, and I thought I could speak chinese. But their chinese has dialec and it's hard to understand them. They only could speak Malay a little.

After eating, then we go to Berjaya Times Square to shopping. Around 20:30, we decided to go back to hotel.

Don't forget to bought some mineral water, beside the hotel, there's 7-11 convenient store.

Kuala Lumpur -- Bandar Sunway Day 1 - 2015 May 6 > Malaysia

Thank you for one of my aunty, I got a chance to roaming in Kuala Lumpur. But this time, this is on duty journey. I will accompany them to walk around Kuala Lumpur. 

My aunty stay at east java, her child study at Bandar Sunway. So, she wants to visit him while touring Kuala Lumpur. We depart from Yogyakarta, because my autny has something to do in central java, and the ticket price is cheaper than from Surabaya.

At 06:45, I go to Damri Bus Stasion at Hotel Wisata to go to the Airport. I took 7 o'clock bus and it cost IDR 50.000/pax. There's approximately 8 people inside the bus and the journey take 1.5 hours. 

At 08:30 I have arrived at Yogyakarta Adisucipto International Airport. My aunty and my cousin has already arrived in there too.

For information, there's road renovation at Jalan Adisucipto, after ringroad to Airport direction,right before the imigration. From 4 path of car road into 3 path which there only 1 path to airport direction. I'm lucky because it's still morning and not traffic in there. If you depart in the afternoon or evening, maybe you need to depart 2-3 hours early to avoid the late.

Arrived at airport, we still can't check-in. So we wait until 09:30. We drop our baggage, and after verified our documents, we passed the imigrations. Then we wait in the waiting room.

Approximately 11:15, we are boarding. Then at 12:00, we say "see you again Yogya".  There's delay 15 minutes from the exact time because of air traffic. It should be 11:45.

There's only Airasia Flight from Yogyakarta to Kuala Lumpur direct. I have been many times ride this plane and it'c comfortable. But this time, there's one stewardess that make me didn't feel comfortable inside the flight. She help us, but I thought that her behavior is less polite. I hope she could realize and fix her attitude.

We buy pre-flight meal on the flight. I buy Uncle Chin's Rice Chicken and my aunty and my cousin buy Nasi Lemak.

The flight took 2.5 hours. At 15:20 we landed at Kuala Lumpur International Airport Terminal 2. The airport is new, so expect half hours to walk to imigrations, and then half hours to wait for the baggage. Our baggage has already on the belt. Last time I came here, when I arrived at baggage claim, the baggage still not come out and we have to wait 15 minutes.

We decided to ride bus to Hotel Capitol Bukit Bintang. The bus station is on 1st floor.and you can see a lot of ticket booth in there. Just go to the bus locket and ask for the bus to your destination. Bus to hotel Capitol Bukit Bintang need to change to the small car. And it cost RM$15. The next bus is 16:30 which is still there 15 minutes to depart.

We go to platform A4 and the driver ask us what destination we go. And he will write our destination and I thought he tell the agency about it.

At 16:30 the bust depart. First stop is KLIA1. And no one depart from there so we continue to the city. Arrive near Pudu, we change to small car because the bus can not enter Bukit Bintang Area because there's MRT construction.

Finally, we arrive at Hotel Capitol Kuala Lumpur. It cost RM$195/room/night. We booked via hotel website, www.fhihotel.com with credit card guarantee.

The room is nice. We booked connecting room, so it seems a big room because we open the connecting door. We are on the 6th floor and the view from here is nice.

We rest for a while, while waiting for my cousin that study in Sunway come here. 1 hour.. 2 hours.. my cousins suddenly said, the monorail is broken so it didn't operated. He needs to wait on not sure time. So he decided to walk about 3km.

At 20:00, he arrive at hotel then we go eat dinner at Alor Street. We choose Alor Corner Stand which famous with Asam Laksa.

I order Curry Noodle. It's not my favourite, but it's better than Chicken amd Prawn Noodle which is my aunty's order. My cousins order Asam Laksa and Dry Noodle.

Then we walk along the alor street, we try coconut ice cream and also Wong Ah Wah chicken wings.

Then we go back to the hotel to rest.
