Hey there!

We’ve been so busy with our travels, that we just had time to update our blog. It will be quite a work to remember our journey for the past 1 week, but we’ll try!

We had our Kuala Lumpur – London flight on Tuesday, 15th September 2015 at 11.05 pm. It was a long day for Shafa at work and a slow day for Yusof at work, so we both were excited by the time we reached the airport!

We boarded British Airways. The flight was on time and the journey was smooth, though there were some bumpy rides along the way.

Service was good on board the plane. There was a halal menu selection for Muslims! 🙂 However, we (Shafa specifically) were quite disappointed that BA did not provide any pillow neck. Only the small, quite hard, pillow was provided. Movies on board were average.

This was Yusof’s first long distance flight, so Shafa gave some good advice on how to avoid jet lag, i.e. sleep following destination time. Turns out Shafa sleeps first before Yusof, and before the planned time! :p

We arrived London Heathrow as per planned, at about 5.25 am. Total 13 hours 20 minutes journey.

If you are a Malaysian, you will need to fill in the landing card to enter the UK. Words of advise to have a smooth process:
1) Fill in the landing card in full the moment you receive them in airplane
2) Have the details of your trip ready, especially your UK accommodation details, and the details of the person you plan to stay with in the UK (if any)
3) Be as ‘kiasu’ as possible to go out of the plane when landed. The que can get super long (as per below picture):

Once you’re done with the UK Border, pick up your luggage and buy an Oyster card for your London travels. Really help to save on your journeys!

Public transportation is comprehensive in London. Just need some time to familiarise, and voila, you will be hoping that your country have the same transportation system!

That’s all for now. Will continue to write about our trip in the next entry. Bye!
