    KL to London - July / August 2018

    Thanks YLD - after a bit of searching I found I can go from BKK to LHR on Malaysian for $2100 - equivalent (ie exactly the same) flight was $4200 if booked from KUL to LHR. Can you send me a PM?

    KL to London - July / August 2018

    Hi there, Can anyone find my wife and I (travelling together please) Business class flights from KUL to London. Happy to make our own way to SIN or anywhere relatively close such as HKG or BKK, and have our own holiday in one of these destinations for a few days (if say QF from SIN to LON is...

    Living in Kuala Lumpur

    By the way - there are a couple of facebook forums that might be good. Look for Expats living in KL or Mont Kiara. Often have car rentals etc that might be useful. Loathe to recommend a real estate agent for you though....

    Living in Kuala Lumpur

    I live in KL - let me know if you have any questions. Great place to base yourself. 3 1/2 hour drive to Singapore. BKK etc are only an hour flight. We house swap, so you might be able to get 4 or 5 weeks in July / August (but our house is taken - sorry) if you can find something. If you are...

    Hong Kong Electonics?

    I would recommend Johnson rd in Wanchai - there are a heap of "export clothing" ie seconds shops which are worth looking at. Near the Mcdonalds and MTR is the Wanchai computer centre. If I was buying a computer or similar and wasnt that sure what I was doing I would stick to one of the chain...

    MH to resume KUL<>BNE in June 2018

    Interesting to see how they manage against AirAsia - although that is from OOL or SYD - I can often get an AirAsia 'business' class return from Sydney for around $1K. Add in some flights to sydney from BNE and we are talking less than $1300...

    How to lose a frequent flyer.........

    I had some terrible experiences with cancelled flights which mean that I dont fly them. But I remember being quite alarmed at the poor crew attitude to safety matters (no briefings at exit aisles, allowing people to walk around during the taxi - not just after leaving the gate but turning onto...

    Giving up on Malaysia Airlines

    Had a terrible time in a flight BKK to KUL - cancelled my flight, I rang up and asked if I can pay extra for business on the next flight as I had to get some sleep. Then they cancelled that one. I asked for a refund and they refused. They offered me 1000 enrich points as compensation. I told...

    KLIA to KLIA2 transit (overnight)

    As a poster said further up - why not hire a grab car for a couple of hours to drive you around town for a bit and then get a nice hotel. at those times traffic shouldnt be a problem.

    Stupid Virgin Policy - no booking no bike box will be sold

    Thanks to those (like here2go and jstar) who made the suggestion of going to the bike shop - the guy climbed into the bin and found me one of the proper size and also gave me some helpful advice. I wonder if VA will reimburse me for the $70 I inevitably spent simply for walking into the bike...

    Stupid Virgin Policy - no booking no bike box will be sold

    Travelling overseas with a bike for the first time, so I rang the velocity gold hotline for advice. "Go to the departures - oversize baggage and buy a box for $15 said the helpful lady on the phone. Sounds easy - drive an hour to the airport, sell my left kidney to pay for parking, walk in and...

    Virgin booking stuffup

    Got a bit of a workaround for future reference... Tried in firefox, chrome and (grasping at straws) IE. Still no luck - tried zuji and webjet. Still failing. Tried to get it using reward seat - exact same (poor) flights come up - but book with anyseat economy and it comes up for the prices I...

    Hi all, Went to book a flight to Wellington because of the specials currently on. Entered in my dates etc and got this (Flight shows $149 on Oct 24) Clicked through to find that there were no flights (in fact cheapest flight was $198) Same flights cheaper on Air NZ. Rang up Virgin, they...

    Velocity/Virgin websites are RUBBISH

    Yep - was a VA plat. Gone back to QF for exactly this reason - VA has missed out on around $20k from me since January. Sorry VA, but if I can't purchase a ticket without a 'website error', or have my phone calls answered in a reasonable time by someone who knows what they are talking about (when...
