okay haya; do you want to be one?

indeed true; just waiting kevin rudd to release more land and come up with a horrible budget

dont worry; some day will need your service

i've got mine from MSL Travel, its situated at shop lot near PWTC.. specially catered for students..
by getting ticket from them, automatically get ISIC membership, kind of like student card for lots stuff at australia later, even given map and discounts guide..
the MSL staff quite friendly, but this my 1st time dealing with travel agent so its just my opinion

still, how did you know im taking it in the first place?

oo..what flight ticket do you buy?

isn't it a bit too late to buy airtickets now?..........premium pricing, or full flights..........and you came back from sydney with a one way ticket?

i suggest the MSL Travel Sdn Bhd, near PWTC.. got freebies like ISIC and Youth Hostel membership, travel tips, map, guide, etc.. though not sure still got ticket or not because myself i bought mine last week, got 6seats left for my flight date, luckily i came in to book the flight time..

Basic Season : 1jan-31jan; 14feb-6mar, 15mar-22may
Shoulder Season : 7mar-14mar; 23may-31may
Peak Season : 1feb-13feb

my flight 25feb(basic season), one way, KLIA to adelaide, RM2168
30KG luggage allowance


MAS, straight from KLIA to Adelaide.. the adelaide seniors told me its much cheaper if take transit (KLIA->Sydney->Adelaide).. since this is my first time, i dont wanna risk lost luggage, flight delay and also there's someone waiting there to pick me up..

cheapest method i think is take local flight to gold coast then take air asia X to KL. melbourne -> goldcoast -> KL about $400-$450, one way.
maybe cheaper if got one of those air asia cheap deals. maybe even cheaper if u buy return ticket....
not sure bout baggage limitations though

but take note that maybe airasia has limited service like no luggage claim like MAS..
i'm not sure what i heard, dont know details, can anyone confirm differences between MAS & airasia, other than ticket price and destinations

i bought a jetstar ticket to go back this time..i bought a sale ticket from jetstar last year to come back..it was $250(tax included)..


kl-syd for MAS is around rm4400 return..>.<

maybe i should fly to brisbane first..then take the airasia X..

If you are taking AirAsiaX, try using Tiger to fly to OOL direct. BNE to OOL is still at least an hours drive by car, a good 2 hrs by train (and you still need a taxi from the train station at Robina to OOL).

I don't think a KUL-SYD is on the cards anytime soon. If you look here I have a feeling D7 will do China/East Asia first.

pangping1510, there is another possible route, aint direct
KL>BRUNEI>SYDNEY
it is cheaper for malaysia as we are paying in ringgit, not paying in brunei dollar.

hehe, friendster , dont worry; i wont threaten you

Wow that's a lot more expensive(about rm500 more) than what I paid in December for my MAS return. But you as a returning student, should know better that it's always good to get your tickets as early as possible.

For now, I think your best bet would be Jetstar again for one way, it may not be cheap now, but anyhow it's should still be cheaper than most of the full fare airlines given the short period of time you have right now. Or you can try asking the prices for Thai Airways, AFAIK they seem to have the cheapest air fares for KUL-SYD route among the full fares airlines, but you will need to take the KUL-BKK-SYD route, which would definitely take a lot longer.

which airline is this? brunei airway?

aiks..whats bkk..is it the same as what kvreninem said?

BKK= Bangkok.
Brunei Air pricing should be comparable to Thai Air as far as I remember, but I would prefer Thai Air if I were to choose from these 2.

yup brunei airlines.
you ask agent in KL, maybe they can get you cheaper discount

The wind is chilling...

Well, seems tat not easy to find girlfriend here la...

Already registered myself, now can online at skol... my new place goin to have broadband soon.... uni seems to be ok, but i need to take bus to my faculty everyday...

I was wondering wat u guys do after 5??

ok la, yesterday and today fine weather, light shower and cloudy, at least it will be 22 -27 till Monday. But Adelaide seriously dry and hot when it's sunny and windy like crap when it's cloudy. Wanna go take a walk aso must think twice. I'm staying in Highgate, 30 mins by bus to North Terraces.

The weather is nice now. Hope i continues into O-week.

mooze, you bring so many food man.......
Anyway all the best during quarantine. My advice would be make sure all your food stuffs are easy to open from your luggage when they inspect your foods. And with the amount of stuff you bring in i'm pretty sure they will inspect the ingredient of your stuff. My mom did brought 30+ packs of 3 in 1 Nescafe to Adelaide which we declare and was subsequently seized cause the lady told us that the 'milk' inside the pack was not permitted in Aussie but if the packs was from Singapore then they will allow it. Nvr the less my mom was kinda pissed. And beware of your laptop make sure no kiddie ahem. This month along in Adelaide airport 3 air crews were arrested for illegal possession of that 'things' and they were fined heavily by the court here.

Anyway just for ppl who wants references. I went to Telstra and asked abt internet connection:

Open Line Connection= $59 (1 time payment, if you have the telephone line socket in your place, if you don't then it's $299 and they will install the socket for you)
Rental per month for the line= $ 19.95
And no contracts required and you don't have to have telephone or internet service with them.


Anyway regarding airfare, is it not that almost 20% of your airfare are airport tax from KLIA?

so if i just bring the kiub pati ayam is okay or not?

also, i got 300ml oral-b mouthwash and 380ml shampoo.. will that be confiscated too? it will be in luggage bag, not cabin
