The business class cabin is really nice - EXCEPT the two interior seats have no divider between them - which makes for a bad experience -especially when the person next to you coughs excessively with no protection. Basically, the person is looking at you and coughing at you the WHOLE FLIGHT. Most major airlines have a sliding divider you can close for privacy and safety reasons. The window seats do not have this problem - so if you book business class and are traveling solo - make sure to get a window seat - I didn't and regretted it.

  • How long is the flight to Penang?

    Flights to Penang, Malaysia from the United States range from about 19h-30h. The precise flight time you’ll experience will depend on your departure city and the number and length of stopovers. If you’re departing out of the west coast, such as from San Francisco, your flight time is likely to be on the shorter end of the spectrum. If you’re departing from a city like New York, your flight time will be on the longer end of the range, due to distance and the increased chance of an extra stopover.

  • Where can you get direct flights to Penang from?

    There are no direct flights from airports in the United States to Penang, unfortunately. If you’re trying to book a flight that is as direct as possible, first consider flying out of your nearest major airport. Also try to book a flight serviced by the airlines that fly into Penang regularly, such as Malaysia Airlines, Singapore Airlines, Cathay Dragon, and United Airlines. Flights to Penang tend to make stopovers in cities like Hong Kong, Taipei, Singapore Changi, and Kuala Lumpur, depending on your airline.

  • How do you get from Penang airport to the city center?

    When your destination is Penang, you’ll fly into Penang International Airport (PEN), which is about 11 miles south of Penang’s capital city, George Town. To reach downtown George Town from the airport, you can take a taxi, which will cost about $10-$13 and take under 20 minutes. You can also take a Rapid Penang bus from the airport to Komtar in the city center, which will cost only about $1 and take about 48 minutes. If you’re traveling in a group and have lots of luggage, a shuttle maybe your best option, which will take about 15 minutes and cost just about $16.

  • What are some things to do in Penang?

    Penang is a state in Malaysia that consists of Penang Island and Seberang Perai on the mainland of Malay Peninsula. Its exquisite natural scenery and rich culture make Penang an exciting place to visit. For those who appreciate colorful ornate architecture, be sure to visit the stunning Kek Lok Si Temple, which consists of a massive pagoda, gorgeous gardens, and serene temples. Get to know Penang in an innovative way by spending an afternoon at Made in Penang Interactive Museum, where, as the name suggests, exhibits are interactive for a more meaningful experience. Penang Hill, also known as Flagstaff Hill, is the place to go for hikes and enjoying views across the city. Ride the funicular up the hill to better appreciate the vistas along the way.

  • Do I need a passport or visa to fly to Penang?

    United States citizens traveling to Penang, Malaysia need a passport with at least six months of validity remaining from the date of your arrival, although a visa is not needed for visits under 90 days.

  • What does PEN mean?

    This is just an IATA (International Air Transport Association) code. IATA codes are used in aviation to identify and differentiate airports. That’s why a Penang Intl Airport flight would often be abbreviated as a PEN flight.

  • What airport do you fly into for flights to Penang?
