Day trip from Singapore

Will be in Singapore in October for a week and will be able to spend a day in KL. Looking to fly to KL very early and back to Singapore in the evening. Will be using the express train to the city centre. Can anyone advise about the following.

1. Will a visa or any other documentation (other than a passport) be required to fly from Singapore to KL.

2. Is the express train to the city centre easy to find and use and how many stops. Is the city centre terminal near the sights or is another cab ride needed.

3. Does anyone know of somewhere to freshen up/shower etc as I%26#39;ve been to KL before and remember how hot and humid it was, we won%26#39;t have a hotel booked to go back to and freshen up.

4. Singapore Airlines have quoted S$304, are their any other airlines anyone can recommend

Day trip from Singapore

What time is your arrival and departure from KLIA ?

Day trip from Singapore

Which passport will you be travelling with ? This could be important regarding whether or not you will be issued with a visa on arrival.

Whats your nationality ?

Sorry, I see you are in London, but that does not mean your travel will be on an EU Passport.

Hi JTS-7,

Ans.1:- your screen shows location in London, which country%26#39;s Passport will you be holding.

Ans.2:- the express train, viz. KLIA Express is a direct (no-stop) rail service from KLIA airport (main terminal) to KL%26#39;s downtown hub in KL Sentral. There will be signs ';KLIA Express'; in the airport directing you to the counter to purchase the ticket. One way ticket is RM35.00.

Depending which sights you have in mind, e.g. Twin Towers, you can take the LRT to KLCC station, whereas for the KL Tower, exit the city centre terminal (KL Sentral) onto the main road and cross over for the monorail station to take you to Bukit Nanas monorail station, and KL Tower is about 10 minutes distant by walking.

If taking the LRT/monorail is not your cup of tea, then you will need to proceed to the taxi counter, and purchase a taxi coupon to reach these mentioned sights.

3. there are shower facilities on Level 1 of KL Sentral. Suggest you bring your own towel and toiletries. There is a charge of RM5.00 imposed. Lockers facilities are also available on Level 1 and Level 2.

4. At the moment only Singapore Airlines and Malaysian Airlines ply the route between S%26#39;pore/KL.

Thank you for the advice. I am a UK passport holder and did stay in to KL a few years ago, I can%26#39;t remember having to get a visa for that trip, unless there has been a change?

Hi JTS,

UK passport holders do not require a visa to enter Malaysia. It won%26#39;t change for foreseeable future as British is the biggest western tourist group to the country!

To answer your question about freshening up -

If you don%26#39;t mind spending a little bit, go to any hotel%26#39;s Fitness Center or Spa and ask to use their shower facilities. If you are going to KLCC, try the Mandarin Oriental. Not sure how much, but I suspect it will be in the region of RM50 for a day pass to use the gym and shower.
