Yeah, no point paying for Biz on Euro shorthaul and will at least avoid biz-class level UK departure taxes, among the highest in the world. Had you looked at flights direct from Asia/ME to CPH? Even if going to Jutland , (i.e Billund, Esbjerg, Aarhus etc) you can get train from CPH (or...

Last time I did KLIA1 to KLIA2 LCC there was no AC on the train platforms so I arrived in pools of sweat with a short blast of AC freeze-drying while on the train in between sweatstops. Still, big improvement on the time when they were on opposite sides of KUL and a sweaty road vehicle was the...
