There's a bus that is timed to leave after flights, and enough time to
check in for departing flights. Goes to Singapore but will drop you off
at Johore Bahru.

Why not just fly AirAsia from SIN to BKK? Costs a bit more than from JHB,
but not enough more to make it worth the effort.

I want to get to Kota Kinabulu on Air Asia from Johor but I'll be coming
from Singapore. Near as I can tell that won't be a problem. However, my
return flight will be quite late out of KK to Johor. How shall I get back
to Sing? The bus schedule I saw posted doesn't seem to leave late enough.
Anyone?

Taxis are quite cheap in JB, and you can get one to the border, from which
the public bus - which runs quite late - will take you the rest of the way
to Singapore.

No problem crossing the border at midnight?

The late flight does get into JHB fairly late (22:30 ish?). I'm flying
that leg in late May, and my solution was just to book the flight which
is earlier in the day. (From memory, leaves BKI at about 10am, arrives
JHB 12:30am)

Another option is to spend the night in JHB and cross over to Singapore
in the morning, although the border is fairly busy in that direction in
the morning.

Yes, that's the one. I can't make an earlier flight that day. If I don't
take the late flight, I'm booked to stay at a hotel in KK.

And that's the problem. I might just as well stay in KK, in that case, and
catch the early plane the next morning.

Thanks, Scott, but it looks like I'm hooped, unless I take the much more
expensive Malaysian Air return flight out of Singapore and back.
