Attending A Wake In KL - trains, planes and cars..

[therock]

Sigh... my cousin just passed, a few weeks after her husband, so I gotta do a quick turnabout trip this weekend..

Got a seat out on an early flight on Air Asia, and back late pm..

Got to make it to Nirvana Memorial Center
No.1 Jalan 1/116A, Off Jalan Sungai Besi, 57100 Kuala Lumpur

Wife will drop me at T4, and it's an hour flight, then I saw on google maps I can take a train over to the Centre?

I got my cousin to pay for a return ticket from KLIA to Sentral - its cheaper via app

Then it seems a MRT can take me direct to the site, so I don't need a cab... not too bad

I will try to buy something at T4 to eat on the flight, and find something on the way back at KLIA T2 

Any recommendations or anything decent to eat near Sungai Besi?

Will report back on how the trains are in KL - I believe they accept Touch and Go

Another cousin recommended this place in T2 KLIA

And this 

Thanks

Waiting for your field report...

I passed through Sungei Besi in June after Google Maps gave me a 'faster' alternative to a traffic jam along E6... turns out it was worse with all the multiple diversions from highway to highway until dizzy...

In KL, stick with WAZE.

Wait till you use DUKE in Kepong.
Confirm will lost for 1st time user

I went KL by Scoot early this month and land at Subang.

Prefer Subang because is closer to the places I was going.

Took Grab for all my trips there. 

Paid using TNG for all my meals and at convenient stores and supermarkets. 

The only bad thing of Subang is very few immigration counter open at custom, so clearance is almost 30mins.

firefly also fly to Subang, less traffic and fast clearance at immigration compare to KLIA

I got my cousins to try all kinds of permutations, they came back with Air Asia, so I can come back before Monday...

Wah... Walk so long.

In MY must drive... most roads not pedestrian friendly. 

I took grab from my hotel to my customer's office even if it's 1km away. There's no pavement along the way. Only RM$6 per trip😅 and drivers don't grumble so close.....

Going around in MY, nowadays Grab is most convenient. Won't get lost and drivers know the roads better to avoid jams.
