Airlines and stopovers
Pegasus operates this route with one stopover. It's not a direct flight, but it's the budget option on offer. You'll change planes at the stopover point; use the time to stretch your legs. Your baggage may be checked through to your final destination. The whole journey takes time, but the price makes it worthwhile.
Best time to visit
Kuala Lumpur is tropical year-round. The dry season on the west coast runs May to September, which is generally pleasant. November to March is wetter, but it doesn't stop visitors. Travelling outside Christmas and New Year helps you avoid price peaks. October is a good month to hunt for deals before high season kicks in.
What to do in Kuala Lumpur
Petronas Towers are essential: they're the city's icon and you can walk the connecting bridge. Chinatown is chaotic, colourful and great for cheap eats. The Royal Palace and Blue Mosque are worth seeing. For nature, Taman Negara National Park is a few hours away. Jalan Alor is street food central; go in the evening.
