The first leg of my Sabah Road Trip was to get to Kuala Lumpur International Airport from Johor Bahru to Labuan. To do that, I took the YoYo Express Bus at Larkin Sentral on 23rd February at 11:45 p.m. The bus took me directly to Terminal 1 of the Airport, and arrived at the wee hour of the morning, at about 4:30 a.m. on 24th February. The very last time I was here was one day before the Movement Control Order [MCO] was implemented when C19 hit hard, back in March 2020.
Then I had to wait for my flight to Labuan at 8:00 a.m. so I had a lot of time to kill. What else to do then to get something to eat. In my hunt for something light to eat at dawn, I settled for toast [but later opted for steamed bread], half boiled eggs and coffee at Ya Kun Kaya Toast. A simple traditional breakfast could now be commercialized and we have to pay much more for it, especially when it is located in the airport building.
I was lucky to get to fly with Malaysia Airlines [MAS] this time as I managed to buy my ticket when there was a special offer. Unfortunately, I could not fly back with the same airline as the time was not suitable so this was just a one way trip with MAS.
With RM200, I got my in-flight meal and entertainment, plus the 20 kg of baggage.
I met a friendly young man from Kundasang who is studying in UPSI and the whole 2 1/2 hours trip was a sleepless one as we chatted all the way.
It was time to continue with the next leg of the journey as I had to meet with my travel companion cum driver cum guide.
