More international travelers coming to Malaysia. 8 countries. 10 airlines. 14,000 passengers per week.

When airlines fly into Malaysia, they need to fly back and it’s not possible to fly in a few hundred passengers, they wait here in Malaysia until all these few hundred passengers need to leave Malaysia. So, when they fly in, they would fly back and Malaysians do have the opportunity to fly to the other countries too. I am still wondering if there are going to be more promotional air fares for these flights too. Many destinations yeah. Do read the below for the latest report.

40 percent flights to Japan from China has been cancelled!

My brother-in-law told me a few days ago that the hotel prices in Japan has dropped. He is flying to Japan in January with my sister. He was telling me as he was booking his hotel rooms. I will also be flying to Nagoya during the same periods too but I have already fully booked all my hotels. Too bad… Then, I went online to read some news and I come across a piece of news which revealed the reason for the drop in hotel room. One country is cancelling 1,900 flights in December alone. Please do read on:

Tourism Boom: Foreign Visitors Exceed Kuala Lumpur’s Population

The whole Kuala Lumpur (not Greater KL) has a population of slightly over 2 million. Well, on average 3.5 million foreign tourists are in Malaysia every month. If we assume just 70 percent of these 3.5 million were in Kuala Lumpur at some point in that one month, it meant that there were MORE foreign tourists in Kuala Lumpur than the total population. Why is this number amazing, one wonders? Well, these foreign tourists are definitely enjoying food. In other words, restaurants have extra business.

Unlock Free Lounge Access with the Right Enrich Card

Do you know that when we travel frequently, it’s best to travel frequently with the same airline? This helps us to earn loyalty points which could then be used to redeem for benefits offered by the airline loyalty card. One such card is Malaysia Airlines’ Enrich card. Do skip this if you travel via business class every time. I think you are wealthy enough without the need to slowly accumulate points which you can then redeem for benefits. Congratulations if you are at this stage already. Else, read on…

Did you know? Flight delay of 5 hours means free accommodation

I do not remember the last time my flight was delayed for two hours or more. What about you? What was the total duration for the flight delay? Did you know that flight delay of 5 hours meant that the airline has to provide accommodation and also the travel to and fro hotel to the airport? Yes, I have just read about it too. I always think the airline just have to provide meal and drink if the flight is delayed. I remember receiving a burger and soft drink when my flight was delayed for over 2 hours in the Philippines many months back.

Not enough autogates is GOOD news yeah

I have been to many countries, including those very advanced ones. Usually, the immigration would take 30 minutes if not more. As a Malaysian, I seldom need more than 5 minutes to pass the autogate and I also wish that every visitor to our country would take just 10 minutes to pass the immigration procedure.

Subang – Singapore route starts 1st September 2024. Let’s fly!

Everyone I know says KLIA 1 and 2 is too far away from the city centre. Actually that’s common and that’s the only way we could build such a huge airport in the first place. However, that’s not up for debate. Today, we look at travel duration. Do you love to drive for 2 hours (to and fro) in order to take a one hour flight?

Fly from Subang to Jakarta for RM299 (one way ticket…) via TransNusa

Answer is, no. Perhaps the only consolation is that it’s Subang which meant that for some people, it’s much closer than to touch down in KLIA and then needing another hour to travel to the city centre. Or just use the train and arrive in slightly over 30 minutes. Well, if you stop in Subang (Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport) and you need a GRAB to the KL city centre, it should take around half an hour. So, one is saving around 30 minutes by using the Jakarta to Subang flight versus Jakarta to KLIA route.

KLIA is back to 70 pct for passengers in 2022 versus 2019. Happy or not?

This meant that close to 3 million passengers use KLIA before Covid-19 arrived. Well, we are on the right track. We are only at the start of the recovery in 2022 but in 2022, KLIA has handled 25 million passengers. This is a super huge thing for the local economy yeah. Just imagine everyone spending just RM1,000 in their trip here or to any other local destinations. Then we use an economic multiplier effect of 4 and now we know why we need the tourism industry to prosper yeah.
