Flying Exotically Around Asia

Coming March 2011, I'll be able to fly around Asia exotically! Tentative plans...

SIN-KUL on MH/AK Economy Class
KUL-BKK-BKK on RJ Business Class
BKK-HKG-BKK on EK Business Class

If I do SIN-KUL on MH, it means having Boeing 737-400, Airbus A330-200 and Airbus A380-800 added to my list of flown aircraft and Malaysia Airlines, Royal Jordanian and Emirates added to my list of flown airlines. 3 new airlines and 3 new aircrafts, how wonderful is that?!

Long Time!

I just noticed it's been long since I blogged! Awaiting this Saturday. Why? I've got 2 flights coming up! Here are the details!

Airline: Silkair (MI)
Aircraft: Airbus A319-100
Flight Number: MI392
Origin: Singapore Changi Airport (SIN/WSSS)
Destination: Kota Kinabalu International Airport (BKI/WBKK)
Departure: 8.50am
Arrival: 11.20am
Block Time: 2h 30m

Airline: AirAsia (AK)
Aircraft: Airbus A320-200
Flight Number: AK 6273
Origin: Kota Kinabalu International Airport (BKI/WBKK)
Destination: Singapore Changi Airport (SIN/WSSS)
Departure: 2.55pm
Arrival: 5.10pm
Block Time: 2h 15m

As you can see, I'll only be in Kota Kinabalu for around 3h! In that time period, I aim to have my lunch, explore the new Terminal 1 in KKIA and of course transfer to Terminal 2 for my AirAsia flight! Seems like the only way to transfer from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2 is via taxi, I guess some haggling of price is needed!

This trip will also be a series of firsts for me.. Namely:

- First time going overseas completely alone
- First time on AirAsia
- First visit to Kota Kinabalu
- First daytrip
- First time flying out of T2 alone (done both T1 and T3 wee!)

I guess that's all folks! Wonder how will Silkair the 4 star airline and AirAsia the 3 star airline fare in my own experience? Do look out for my trip report soon on airliners.net, if you know what website it is! =D
