I really didn't know where else to post this question, and I didn't want to make a new thread, but I have one question about flying with Malaysia Airlines. If we book a flight to Bangkok via Amsterdam and Kuala Lumpur, is it possible to skip one section of the trip or does that automatically cancel the whole reservation? We were thinking about staying in Kuala Lumpur, continue on with a train to Bangkok and return from there. Is it possible if we dont have any cargo luggage? I couldn't find anything on the rules of the ticket..
It's not Malaysia Airlines specific so should be moved to travelbuzz or another forum, but you lose all segments after the one you skipped. So you'll only want to drop the very last segment, and not if you intend to take the subsequent flights.

Hi, I'm a 29 y/o budget traveler stopping in KL for 3 days along my RTW trip with no idea what to do/see. I'm very intersted in trying foods, active excursions(hiking for scenary etc) and kind of just want to experience the culture. I also enjoy drinks to wind down the day and would like some night life. ideas what to do where to stay?

Can you point me to a Malaysian Borneo based TA that could get air tickets for me for either AirAsia, MAS Wings, or Malaysian Airlines? I don't think my US credit card will allow me to buy them on the web. I'm going to need to buy 3-4 domestic flight segments when I visit there next year. I don't want to wait until arriving to buy them as the flights I want may be sold out.
I had this problem buying domestic tickets for Indonesia and had to purchase through a TA and use paypal to pay for them.

We bought 2 months out, and prices were competitive with Air Asia once you added the baggage fees. I suppose if Air Asia has some super sale, you might get cheaper flights, but we only spent $30-40 per flight, so savings are minimal. Oddly some flights were pricier on the MAS wings site than the Malaysia Air site, even though they codeshare.

That was hard to recommend. If I know the details on what you are looking for, I would try my best. Some people like non commercial places but some like touristy places. When I read your question, only 2 places comes to my mind which is Jalan Alor and Petaling Street. If you need Malay food, you can try Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa which is located in Kampung Baru

FWIW the Southeast Asia board on Chowhound has lots of KL restaurant reviews and threads from the last couple years:

Chinese : I am not good in this because I can't eat some of the best chinese dish due to religion. Better for others to recommend it.
