03 July 2014 (Thursday)

7.10 a.m. – 9.10 a.m. Kota Kinabalu >> Kuala Lumpur (Flight AK5135)

1.15 p.m. – 1.40 a.m. Kuala Lumpur >> Krabi (Flight AK868)

Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 @ KLIA 2 is a low cost carrier terminal in Sepang, Selangor, Malaysia which has approximately 45 kilometers from Kuala Lumpur city center. It was built to replace with former KLIA Low-cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) which officially opened to public on 9 May 2014.

Washroom

In the afternoon, we were safety arrived in airport. After that, we called our friends whose flight from Kuching to know where they are as they had been reached. They were having lunch at Texas Chicken so we went around finding them. KLIA was so big that not easily for us to find for Texas Chicken so we had saw “Ask Me” counter to ask for direction. For me, KLIA 2 seems like shopping mall than airport.

Ask Me Counter

After getting the direction, we had received a call from my friends that now they are finding a place to charge their handphone and will meet with each other later so both of us continued went around looking for lunch.

Jaya Grocer

When we went around, I had saw Jaya Grocer which had been introduced by blogger before so we went in to look around. In Jaya Grocer, has bento that ready which you just need to put in oven then can be eat. Besides that, it also offer “Cook for you” service which you buy the ingredients and they will cook for you. The cooking charge is RM 8 per serving. Besides food, it also sells some essential goods.

After we look around for a while, we had spotted Texas Chicken (Lot L2M-24) and my friend suggested that we having lunch at there. I had ordered tender wrapping which cost me RM 6.15. When we were eating, suddenly I saw a couple over other side and when I saw clearly, they are my travel buddies. They having lunch at there and charging handphone.

After lunch, we went to waiting hall to wait for our flight. We had queued up wrongly when check up for the passport as we queue up at foreign counter so an airport staff noticed it and asked we to queued up at Malaysia counter there. At Malaysia counter, there did not have any staff to check for our passport because it is self-service system that we just scan the passport and go.

When at security checking, I had been stopped by Immigrant officer because I had brought the mineral water. For those who wish to bring mineral water to flight, you must empty your bottle and refill it at waiting hall or buy at waiting hall.

During the flight, I had read the Air Asia magazine and accidentally saw a great deal in MBK Center which I will explain more in other post.

3 Sixty Magazine

In the flight, we were given an arrival and departure card by stewardess to fill in all the details. As this was my first time to fill in so I had filled in wrongly in some particular after double check for my friend’s card. I had request a new arrival and departure card from stewardess when they sell the food.

7.10 a.m. – 10.15 a.m. Bangkok >> Kuala Lumpur (Flight FD311)

2.25 p.m. – 5.00 p.m. Kuala Lumpur >> Kota Kinabalu (Flight AK5114)

When arrived in airport, the airport was so big that we keep walking to luggage areas to wait for our luggage. It took some times in getting our luggage. Hope next time the luggage services will be faster because we had walked for a long distance and still need to wait for the luggage more than 15 minutes in order to gets it. Luckily that the luggage did not missing as we cannot find it at first and quite worry but during the last batch of luggage, it was come out.

Luggage Area

After took for the luggage, we choose to have lunch in Quizinn by rasa which located at L2M-6 7 & 8, Level 2M. This food court has many food stalls for us to try it. I had ordered Banmian (handmade noodle soup) but due to the unclear picture so I did not put in this post while my friends ordered Korean dish and noodle.

Quizinn by rasa

At Quizinn has a Newsstand so I had go around and spotted Let’s Travel magazine then I brought a July copy as the price in East and West Malaysia is different.

After bought the magazine, I bought a mineral water at drinks corner. When I want to pay the mineral water, the cashier charged me RM 2.00 then he suddenly asked me that whether I am an airport staff or not as airport staff can enjoy 10% discount. I answered him that I am not an airport staff then he changed the price to RM 2.10. I just wonder that is my face look like airport staff? Haha..
