My Experience of Penang to Melaka with Malindo

It was a sunny day when Malindo Air took off from Penang International Airport. This is my first time sitting on a propeller plane. Dad has been telling me how noisy a propeller plane will be and it just make me can't wait to find out myself!

The sound was indeed super annoying when we board the plane. However, once get into the cabin, the sound reduce at least 80%-90%, which make the in-flight experience pleasant. The sound proof is much better than Firefly which I get to find out as I sat on a Firefly propeller plane a week after Malindo's.




The chair is more comfortable than AirAsia, more ergonomic for Asian (as I felt). Air-conditional functioning well too.


The propeller is right at Row 5, if it is a concern for you.


The snacks are mineral water and biscuits. Looks a bit 'kolian' (pathetic) but I do love the biscuit! Nothing to complaint about the snack as I really feel they have done their very best as a low budget airline. I just always feel blessed when they delivery me and my family to our destination safely.

One thing worth mentioning is the baggage collection at Melaka International Airport. The sign is not very obvious. You have to take note at the alley on your left before the Exit.




Thanks Malindo Air for bringing the flight to Melaka - Penang route. Home is never too far now.

Penang to Melaka By Flight

According to The Sun news, and personally check out on Firefly website, it is confirmed that there are flights travel between Penang and Melaka from 6th April!

This is  a really great news no matter for tourist or homeseeker like me.

Everyone is wondering why there's no flight between the 2 states which both categorized as UNESCO Heritage Site, this could bring so much convenience to people. Too bad, I can't figure out why too... Although there are rumours saying there are government control or Melaka Air simply do not wish other competitors to enter the market. However, none of them are proven to be true.

Nonetheless, People can now make booking to and fro Penang and Melaka through Firefly Website. The business belong to Melaka Air but the airplanes are rented from Firefly according to the news.

There are 2 scheduled flight weekly, Monday and Friday. The air ticket price are now RM142 one-way (excluding tax), which I find really expensive for a flight that run 1 hour 10 mins fly time. What to do? This is common in a monopoly scenario. Unless you want to take a 6 hours "express" bus... It's RM30-RM40 by bus, but Time is Money for some people~

Let's us look at the Time and Price...

Total RM394 per pax for round-trip including taxes. I can fly to Sabah or Hong Kong in Air Asia with this price. Do check your desired flight time from FireFly Website here.

Good Luck, Friends!

Malacca Homestay @ Haus Lexsonico

Have a short gathering with my pals in Melaka last month.
In a rush for getting a place to stay and happened to bump into Haus Lexsonico from their advertisement in  http://www.mudah.my/

Haus Lexsonico is run by its owner Nicole, together with her husband. We talk through the phone and she allow us to pay when we check-in on the day as I was booking just 2 days before, which is too late to make a banking transaction as well. We meet at the guardhouse of Garden City Straits Condominium where we meet this nice couple and bring us to their apartment.

The apartment is nicely decorated and we can see the effort they put into, not just business but interest at the same time, like what I always want to do. The place is clean and well equipped with water heater, refrigerator, induction cooker for light-cooking, kettle and complete utensils. It almost able to compete with homestay in Taiwan.

The location of the apartment is their selling point too. They are close to the heart of Malacca attractions although you still need a car to travel around.

Attached with some photos, other than that, everything is exactly the same as what they display on their facebook page. Me and my friend are enjoy staying there.



Haus Lexsonico 
Rooms: 3 rooms, 3 washroom
Rental: RM300/day (We stay on Saturday)
Tel: +6012-6544492

The apartment is near to old Newton food court at Ujong Pasir. Almost right beside Bandar Hilir Police Station.
