Singapore and Malaysia 2018, May 13 (Epilogue)

Travel summary:

  • 10:00am flight
  • Got hotel reception to book a taxi to come in 20 minutes, to save time waiting after finishing breakfast
    • I asked about going to the airport instead of the central train station
    • He said they don't do it, you have to use 'a website' yourself
    • I asked what website, he seemed confused so I had to rephrase it - Grab or Uber apparently
    • That seemed weird, so I just asked for a taxi to the train station and he wrote down my room number
  • Finished breakfast and ready to leave!
  • Checked on the taxi progress, he asked if I wanted to book it now!
    • So...this made the whole previous conversation pointless
  • The 'taxi' arrived, it was actually just a Grab driver, just managed to fit a suitcase in the back
  • A bit too stressful, but got to the train and the airport with no more issues
  • So many different queues to get to the departure gate, but moved fast
  • Went with Air Asia instead on the way back, since it was direct from KL
  • No screens in the head rests, really boring listening to podcasts and staring at nothing
  • It was weird that I had booked a meal as part of the baggage allowance, they had two meal services but you only get one meal!
  • Melbourne luggage carousel must be the slowest in the world, always takes at least 20 minutes
  • The car battery started in the long term car park!

Next time...not sure yet.

Magnet updates.
