Berjaya Air is the only airline operating direct flights to Redang from Kuala Lumpur's Subang Airport (55 minutes, around MYR526 return) and Singapore Changi Airport Budget Terminal (80 minutes, around SGD352 return). They operate two types of turboprop aircraft: the 4-engine 48-seater DeHavilland Dash 7 and the twin-engine 72-seater ATR 72-500.

Ur....this type of planes save or not? Comfortable or not? Will get air sick or not? I never take before :scratchhead:

I've flown on prop planes a few times, including to Redang on Berjaya Air. No worries about safety, in fact, they look no different from a jet plane from the inside. Flying to Redang is actually very convenient. Quick flight, you land on the island itself, and from there is a short ferry to most resorts and a very short bus ride to the Taaras Resort (previously Berjaya). The beach is beautiful and the waters are fantastic. Food is nothing spectacular, but a great place for a few days R&R.

[quote=\"osim\"]Planning to go Pangkor Laut In Nov with my dd. Any feedback for the sea villa or hill villa? What is the best way to get there, fly to Ipoh or to KL better. From KL, how to get to Lumut where the hotel have speedboat to pick you. Is the food at the restaurants there expensive? Just wondering whether to take the package that includes all meals. TIA.


Drive from Ipoh to Lumut is shorter. Longer drive from KL. Can also take helicopter from KL to Lumut. it is the fastest way to get there but will be ex. Food at restaurants ex since you are a captive market. I'd pick the all meals package.

I dare not drive in Malaysia. Helicopter is definitely out, too ex. Thanks for your advice.[/quote]

Travelling to Pangkor Laut Resort
Pangkor Laut Resort is located on the privately owned island of Pangkor Laut 1.6 km off the West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. It is a truly tropical isle with rocky outcrops and white sandy beaches fringed by a beautiful rain forest which thrives in the tropical climate.

Malaysia Airlines operates international flights from major destinations around the world to the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), Sepang. From Kuala Lumpur, you may continue your journey by land or by air towards Pangkor Laut.

Those traveling to and from Singapore also have the option of flying into Ipoh Airport or Skypark Subang Terminal (formerly known as Terminal 3 Subang) via Firefly and continue the journey by land towards Pangkor Laut.
Yes by air.....but not aeroplane......it's helicopter.... :evil:
One can only get onto pangkor laut by ferry or helicopter. Whether u fly firefly or another airlines, you still need to drive to the marina and then ferry over. The drives are not short 😞

Realized this is an old thread. Anyone been to Pangkor Laut recently? What was the mode of transportation?

Helicopter is the easiest. Otherwise drive from KL, then ferry.

[quote=\"tankee\"]anyone been to Redand Island?


http://redang.org/

someone told me redang better than langkawi as langkawi is man made.

For me, only prob with redang is the journey there. :(. No direct flight. Long drive :(. I have not been there because I dread the journey. I have seen friend'spictures. Great snorkeling opportunity. Very much a snorkeling place. If you don't snorkel or drive, then nothing much to do, I was told. But the fishes and corals really really pretty from the photos and videos they took.[/quote]http://redang.org/transport.htm

I second VK2010 for Pangkor Laut.

Another choice is Banyan Tree Bintan. Advantage of Banyan Tree is that it is easily accessible via ferry.

Hi Dnls_mum,
Can i check how much is Banyan Tree Bintan?
How is your experience there?

Sorry, can't remember the price I paid. But you can check out the packages on their website.

I love banyan tree so my opinion may be bias..hehe.
So far I've stayed at the one in bintan, lijiang and hangzhou. We had the villa with a jacuzzi facing the sea at bintan. It was beautiful and peaceful. Nothing much to do except spa and relaxation. We arranged a hot pot dining in the villa one night. It was great. One morning, we ordered a picnic basket and brought it with us to the beach. My experience with service and spa at all the banyan trees have been great. Their villas are also beautifully furnished in accordance to the local flavor. Best of all private jacuzzi or pools are so luxurious. If you stay at any banyan tree resort, be sure you plan days for doing nothing other than enjoying the resort.

It’s beautiful and close to Ko Samui but is more reasonable in terms of price.

But to name some specific places:


1. Rajasthan (Famous for its rich Royal heritage
2. Kerala (termed as God’s own country
3. Goa (the land of Exotic Beaches
