Voice of Travelers to Penang

Outstanding vacation in Penang

I am Graca, a student of arts, history and culture at the University of Messina. Last year, I visited Fort Cornwallis and Penang State Museum and Art Gallery in Penang to study the old history of Malaysia. I had planned from early last year and timed for the cheapest ticket to Penang. I searched online for the cheapest ticket weeks prior my departure to Penang. Ticket to Penang are cheaper six weeks before your travel time and it is advisable to purchase your ticket weeks before traveling. Alitalia plus a connection with AirAsia offered the cheapest ticket compared to other airlines. The travel experience using a non stop flight from Rome to Kuala Lumpur was awesome with their flights attendants being pleasantly friendly and offered great food that I guess was satisfying to everyone.

Short vacation to Penang

I am Derek from Indonesia. Last summer, i made a short trip vacation to Penang. I flew to Penang enjoy their cuisine and other outdoor activities in Penang. I took a break from work and as i had already planned, bought a ticket to Penang online after a referral from a colleague. Purchasing the ticket online was cheaper compared to visiting the travel agents who sold their ticket more expensive compared to the online ticket. When purchasing a ticket to Penang as an international traveler, it is advisable to purchase your ticket six weeks prior to your departure, tickets are cheaper during this period. The overall experience enjoying the soft sandy beaches, cuisine and some indoor activities was fascinating. I came back rejuvenated and i am on course to achieve my goals in my work place.
