Malaysia Airlines brings you very comfortable
to various destinations in Malaysia. You can read about this company on
another page on this website <click>.
But there are inside Malaysia other airlines active, like Air Asia and Berjaya
Air.
Air Asia is the second largest airline in Malaysia. It doesn't have so much
planes as Malaysia Airlines has, but it's very aggressive with its fares!
And that is what we like, as consumers. We could say that Air Asia is the
Ryan Air or Easy Jet of Malaysia.

They fly all over the peninsular and even they fly to Sabah and Sarawak on
Borneo. Air Asia departs, just like all the other airlines, from Kuala
Lumpur International Airport, which you can reach by coach, taxi or
train.
To make it easy for us, tourists, I've added a pricelist below of Air Asia
and all the destinations, where they are flying to.
The pricelist counts for the end of 2003 and the beginning of 2004. In the
meantime Malaysia Airlines worries for their domestic flights and sometimes
they want to compete with Air Asia on some stretches. But..... Air Asia is
not so big and they also stunt with their fares to some destinations.
A one way trip with Asia Airlines from Kuala Lumpur to Kota Bahru costs €
9,00. Travelling to Kota Kinabalu or Labuan on Borneo
will cost you € 25,00. And if you like to go diving or
snorkelling on the island of Sipadan, a ticket to Tawau on the continent of
Borneo will cost you € 25,50 The fares are all from Kuala
Lumpur! Actually the prices are very cheap. A real bargain for us. How to make a booking. Well, that's also very easy. They have got a website,
where you can make a reservation "online" from any country in the world.
Their website is airasia.com. In the Netherlands Malaysia Airlines haven't got a website, so with this
website of Air Asia, where you can make a reservation online they are one
step ahead of the other company. Of course, it's true, that the
transportation is much more important to Air Asia than the service on board
of the plane.

Passengers, traveling to
Kuala Lumpur International Airport (have a look at the special site of
KLIA site<cllik>)
for departure with Air Asia, can opt for the special new non-stop, high-speed
train between the KLIA (the National Airport of Malaysia) and Kuala Lumpur
Sentral.
The station in KL is close to the center and de business district of the
capital.
The very comfortable KLIA Ekspres departs every 15 minutes between 05.00
hours in the morning and 01.00 hour at night, seven days a week. In only 28
minutes the train will bring you to your destination. In the future the
frequency will raised to a departure of the trains in every 10
minutes. A ticket for adults will cost you 35 RM, or € 9,00 for a one
way trip. It's a good alternative for the expensive taxi. Tickets can be sold and different counters in the arrival hall. Also are
there several hotels, where you can buy a ticket for KLIA. You can also buy your ticket by credit card.
