Voice of Travelers to Malacca
A layover in Malacca with a ticket to Penang
I traveled on an onward ticket from Pekanbaru in Indonesia to Penang in Malaysia. My flight was with Malindo Air with a layover in Malacca for a full day. This kind of ticket was recommended to me by a ticket agent and it allowed me to see Malacca. An onward ticket with stop in Malacca was also much more affordable than a direct ticket from Pekandaru to Penang and I opted for this ticket because I had long wanted to visit Malacca. On my way back, I flew on a ticket which was booked for a direct flight from Penang to Pekanbaru, without another stop in Malacca. I really enjoyed my time in Malacca and my flight with Malindo Air was great, so I do not regret buying this ticket instead of a cheaper ticket straight to my destination.
Visiting Malacca for a convention
I visited Malacca last year for a an international convention. Since I was invited as a speaker, all my costs in Malacca were covered by a home institution residing in Malacca. I enjoed the first class service aboard the Korean Air from Seoul to Pedang and then I flew with Malindo Air to Malacca in the economy class as the return ticket was booked for me in this way. Judging by the quality of service, I would say that such a ticket was very likely expensive. Both Korean Air and Malindo Air delivered truly great service both onboard and on the ground. Once I landed in Malacca, I was accommodated in a very good hotel downtown Malacca. I ended up rebooking my return ticket from Malacca for two days later than the date of my original ticket was. I would like to visit Malacca again.
