KUL - How much time required in transit?
I'm arriving in KUL en route to PEN (Flying Malaysian the whole way) and have 1 hour 40 minutes between arrival and departure.
Likewise on the return from PEN I have 1 hour 20 minutes before my connection to BNE
Coming from Australia, will I need to clear customs in KUL or will this all be done in PEN? Will I have enough time in KUL to transit through, or should I talk to the TA about giving me an extra hour?
Likewise on the return from PEN I have 1 hour 20 minutes before my connection to BNE

Ok...
If you are flying all the way on MH and I suppose you will be issued a thru-check boarding pass then you don't have to clear customs in KUL.
PEN is also an international airport with immigration and customs facilities.
Minimum connecting time to transfer will be 1hour.
Unless- your layover time in KUL is more than the time you said then I think you will need to clear in KUL. And of course if you are travelling on an LCC.
The connecting times on your reservation are sufficient.
And when you check in with MH at BNE, I am sure the airport staff will brief you on your itinerary.
All the same you have a good journey.
BTW, been to PEN?
Cheers!

Don't catch a cab from the hotel, walk across to the cab stand. It's a lovely time of the year now, Penang is our favourite getaway, if you are staying at the Golden sands make sure your room is not next to the mosque as they start singing at 4.30am, and if you are looking forward to bacon and eggs, start retraining your palate to accept turkey bacon. merry christmas regards bkkrop

Sounds great. We're staying at the Bayview Beach, which I'm told is a little bit more out of the tourist strip but still within walking distance of everything in Batu Ferringhi. Thanks for the tip about the Golden Sands. Will have to check that out!
