KL and Singapore

I would be travelling between KL and Singapore end of october and was
trying to find the cheapest and the best way to get there. I found MAS
has a flight from KL to Changi for 200US$ and to Johor Bahru for 95US$.

Is it advicable to take the flight from KL to Johor Bahru and then use
some other transportation to reach Singapore or fly directly to Changi.

If flying to Johor Bahru is ok, then what kind of transportation are
available to get into Singapore quickly.


Thanks

AirAsia (www.airasia.com) should have the cheapest flights.
Alternatively you can take a bus (five hours).

This seems strange - I do this flight now and then, and the walk-up fare (if
you show up at the airport 30 minutes before the flight with no reservation)
is about $100. Or do you mean for a return ticket?

If you are flying to JB, you might as well fly AirAsia which is much
cheaper.

But honestly, if you do that I doubt you'd save any time over just taking
the bus the whole way from KL to Singapore. By the time you deal with both
airports and airport transit and the border and everything else, it'll
easily take you the 5 hours that the bus trip would have. Flying KL-Changi
direct, on the other hand, is faster than the bus but not by much, and it's
quite expensive.

There are some extremely comfortable buses (as nice as business class on a
plane) and it costs less than US$10 (you can do it for $6 if you change to
the local Singapore bus in Johor Bahru). The only time I fly is if I am
connecting to an onward flight at Singapore airport. If I am actually going
to visit Singapore itself I always take the bus.

Why not try the express buses? Comfortable, takes 5 hours from downtown KL
to downtown Singapore. See discussion he

Good grief, take the bus, it is relatively quick, comfortable, air-
conditioned, gets you closer to the centre of Singapore than the plane,
you don't have to walk for miles inside the terminals, is cheaper, plus
you can look out of the window.

I've used Aeroline.

It's pretty good.

S$40/- or US$24/-

I might prefer to take one of the two buses Nice/plusliner or Aeroline.
The website for Nice/plusliner is not working and gives an error that
the site is down.

I looked up the aeroline bus and it looks pretty good.

Which bus 'Aeroline' or 'Nice' is closer to KL international airport. I
will be arriving in KL airport and would like to get the bus from the
terminal itself (if possible).

Thanks for all your help

Unfortunately neither stops at KLIA. What you can do is catch the airport
express train (ERL) form KLIA to KL Sentral (trip takes less than 30min).
From KL Sentral, take the KTM Komuter train to the old KL train station (ask
for direction), just a stop away. Nice's terminal is there.

Almost all of the buses are pretty good. I don't see the point of paying 4
times as much for the Aeroline - basically you get about $2 worth of snacks
for that.

I don't believe that either one serves the airport. You may have to get a
local bus or taxi to Seremban in order to catch a long-distance bus to
Singapore.
