For the Airport taxi coupon, check it out here, and yeah, for tourist, it's better to get the coupon although the locals could get a bit cheaper price with metered taxi=) And this is the link of the company :

Am at the lounge at the Shangri La KL right now. It's by far the nicest lounge We've been to compared to Hilton/SPG/marriott offerings in SE Asia. Very quiet and sophisticated with a great selection of food during high tea 3-5pm and cocktail from 5-7pm. Excellent sashimi, scallops, foie gras, french cheeses, etc. Was upgraded to a suite with a view of the petronas towers. True, there is not much interesting in the direct vicinity of the hotel, but Bukit Nanas monorail is a 5 minute walk away, and we walked from Pavillon using the skywalk to KLCC Traders and then the shangri la one night. Some shady looking bars near the intersection though. Suria KLCC is a 10-15 minute walk. We liked the Lot 10 Hutong food court although it's mainly chinese food and we were looking for more Malay vendors. Overall a great value stay for a true 5 star experience at about $220 a night in a suite with lounge access/ breakfast. We also tried the (pricey) airport pickup where we were met directly at the gate upon our arrival. The SL representative has security clearance so he even assisted us from the gate, to the baggage claim, to the hotel car which has in car wifi. Took an hour from the gate to the hotel where we went directly to our room for check in. A great ending to our 2 week visit to Malaysia. Sabah was really great for wildlife also. Feel free to PM for more info.
