Peak Season:
Kuala Lumpur is Malaysia’s capital city and a fascinating place to book flight tickets for a holiday. Various cultures, including Malay, Chinese, Indian, have inhabited the city over the years and are reflected in the architecture which is a mix of modern and historical buildings. The best example of postmodern architecture is the Petronas Towers, twin skyscrapers with an all glass shell that stretch 450 metres above the skyline. Travellers arriving on cheap flights to Kuala Lumpur at any time of year will encounter hot, humid weather, the temperature stays at a steady 28C-32C all year round. But the modern, air-conditioned buildings and retail stores make shopping a pleasant experience. Bukit Bintang, Central Market, Chinatown and Little India are also popular areas for shoppers to pick up bargains and souvenirs. Peak periods for Kuala Lumpur are the Malaysian school holidays that fall in early April, early August and mid-November to early January. Thaipusam, a key Hindu thanksgiving festival celebrated between mid-January and mid-February, attracts over one million travellers and locals each year.

Off Season:
Kuala Lumpur doesn’t really have an off season, though it does have a monsoon season from November to February which heralds torrential downpours and strong winds along the east coast. Although it can rain heavily at any time of year, many visitors prefer to avoid the wetter months of March and April, and from September to November.

Pros: It was a newer model of the plane that I flew out with and it showed. Excellent interior, food was better than the previous flight. Very comfortable and functional for each individual . Crew were fantastic in there dealings with the passengers Overall a very pleasant experienceCons: The inflight entertainment was not as good as I expected. To the extent there wasn’t anything that I wanted to watch as I’d seen the only 2 films that I wanted to watch in my previous long haul leg. TV series were severely lacking in choice as was the latest movies.
