When are you planning this trip? I'm doing a similar mileage run with no checked bags, hand carry luggage only ..
If it's after Easter, I'll post my experiences after my trip (plus a few days to get over the jet lag, like how I am adjusting now)
My itinerary is :
SIN - KUL (NIGHT STOP)
KUL - HKT
HKT - KUL - LHR (NIGHT STOP)
LHR - KUL - HKT
HKT - KUL (NIGHT STOP)
KUL - SIN
I did read about the uncertainties of doing a turnaround in HKT, so I'll be sure to ask the airport security to let me back into the departures area if I am being directed to arrivals & immigration.
It's the 1st time I am traveling long haul without a checked bag, so that'll be interesting!
p/s what does the x before the city name mean? E.g. xKUL - is that a stopover?
xKUL just means transit... the original plan was to "transit" in KUL then do a bunch of side domestic trips.. but that has changed now as I did not manage to snag a cheap enough KUL-TPE ticket
I'm planning to do it before Easter. Come in to KUL on Fri (still tossing up should I come in ~10pm on MH or midnight on CX) and leave on Sunday evening (likely to be the 750pm KUL-HKG). Not too big a fan of the MH 737 in economy though...
At the moment it looks something like this
KUL-KBR
KBR-KUL
KUL-JHB
JHB-KUL
KUL-KBR
KBR-KUL
4 hour break from 545pm to 945pm (btw do you think its possible to get of KLIA and get to Klang and back?
KUL-JHB (overnight)
Next day
JHB-KUL
KUL-KBR
KBR-KUL
KUL-JHB
JHB-KUL
KUL-KBR
KBR-KUL
I reckon I would be sick of the MH 737 J plane...
Btw, did you get a cheap HKT - LHR ticket? That could be something I should look at going forward... think its probably better (for sanity) to get the 140 TP type flights in there
