I haven't been to Penang in years. Is there any transit option to George Town? If not, what's a cheap option to get to the AC Hotel Penang?
I live in Penang and the airport is lacking. There are charging stations but not seats with charging ports. I can picture where the one in the domestic terminal is, but I can’t think of where one is in the international terminal (I never use them).
There are restaurants landside on the same floor as check-in, but you have limited options and they’re crowded (McDonalds, Starbucks, and a Malaysian restaurant). Airside, there are different options, but none really that good.
There is one lounge (Plaza Premium) that has a location in domestic and another in international. They just started accepting Priority Pass and it’s a solid 1/5 stars.
AC Hotel is in Byan Lepas and not Georgetown. I always prefer Grab if I’m not driving. There is a bus, but I never take it so know nothing about the routes (bus service here is not reliable and not super efficient). If you are headed to Georgetown at any point though, avoid rush hour (5-7pm), because it will take forever.
