Westin is in a good location and if it is good enough for the ASEAN Foreign Ministers, then it’s good enough for me. What you don’t see at first glance on the website is that it also has lots of villas with plunge pools. You can use Grab for all your trips and hotel has a pick up service albeit at near £30. Westin has lots of steps and you can walk up to the St Regis.
Going down into Kuah is Jake’s Charbroiled Steaks. Very nice food – thoroughly spoiled by Australian and Argentinian steaks. And everything cheaper that at the hotel. There are at least four coffee shops down at the Ferry Terminal in Kuah.
Our second stay here and plan to come back next year. Super nice staff versus going West from the U.K.
And for a direct flight, we noticed there was a LOT aircraft at Langkawi airport this morning. We had Malaysian Foreign Minister sat opposite us on flight down to KUL. Half the airport staff came out for his departure and a large gathering was in KUL for his arrival
Hi
First time visiting Malaysia so would really appreciate some advice
We have booked LHR>KUL return using Avios on BA metal
1. I will be in Langkawi on the day we return to LHR.
The flight BA34 is scheduled at 23:15 I think. What would you suggest is a safe amount of time to take the flight from Langkawi to KUL? Would a flight arriving at 19:45 give enough time? I’m thinking there isn’t much wiggle room! Otherwise there is anothe arriving 16:10 but that is quite early.2. I think if I book Malaysia air then I arrive in the same terminal as the outbound BA flight, but as all OneWorld I’m wondering if I can arrange for the luggage to be put through onto the BA plane for us so we don’t have to pick it up and check it in again? Is that possible if not on the same ticket?
Cheers

MH policy was to allow interline baggage onto BA even on a separate ticket last year, I assume nothing has since changed.

Low Cost Carriers such as Air Asia will arrive into terminal 2 which is a bit of a trek from Terminal 1 / M
Malaysia Airlines will through check your bags onto any One World airline. They state this clearly in their FAQs.Hi

Which of the two timings would you go for?

If your flight from Langkawi is on MH and flight from KL is on BA then yes your bags can be through-checked at LGK. You’ll arrive into the main terminal (T1) and will need to go to the transfer desk, clear immigration, and you’ll be back in the main terminal. Long haul depart from the satellite terminal so take a bus across.

Security will be at the gate.
