| Transportations |
There
are daily flights of Malaysia Airlines from Kuala Lumpur
to Kota Kinabalu, the capital of Sabah. The airport is an
international hub of Malaysia Airlines on Borneo for
destinations like Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, Hong
Kong and some local destinations.
Shortly there's a new aggressive airline in Malaysia, which
likes to stunt with their fares: Air Asia. It's the
RyanAir or Easy Jet of Malaysia.
Air Asia flies from Kuala Lumpur to Kota Kinabalu and Tawau.
To make it easy for us (tourists) I have added a pricelist
below of all the destinations of Air Asia in Malaysia. You
can see how attractive these prices are for us, tourists.
A one way trip from Kuala Lumpur to Kota Kinabalu will cost
you Euro / US Dollar 40,00. You can make a ticket reservation
"online" from all over the world. The website of Air Asia
is: http://www.airasia.com/. For flight schedules
of Malaysia Airlines you must call the airline company in
your country. |

Sabah has an excellent road system
and these are generally sealed. However subsidence and washouts
frequently occur, especially in the wetter seasons. Vehicles can
be hired in various places and is handy transport for getting to
places where the public transport doesn't go. Some important car
