We are planning to visit Malaysia and than flying (or shipping) to Medan in Sumatra. We are looking for advices about fares especially for Sempati Air or Malysian Air KL - Medan. Has someone made this trip?

Sie rufen am besten bei Malaysia Airlines in Koeln oder oder an. Die Website <malaysiaairlines.com.my> gibt keine Informationen ueber Flugplaene heraus. Sempati scheint gar keine Website zu haben. Sie fliegen wahrscheinlich besser von Penang aus, denn der Flughafen dort liegt viel guenstiger zur Stadt als der von KL. Medan muessen Sie sobald wie moeglich wieder verlassen, das ist die Ho

Thanks for your reply. To precise my question, we want to buy our tickets in KL or Penang, not in Germany. So I need information about booking offices in Malaysia. I´m sure it is less expensive to book there than in Germany. <BR> By the way, does anyone have good tips for nice beaches and nice accomotaion in Sumatra (except in Aceh)? <BR>Wiebke <BR>

Flugkarten kaufen Sie am besten in der Leboh Chulia in Penang. Dort, zwischen Jalan Penang un Jalan Kapitan, gibt es eine Reihe von kleinen Buden, wo Billigfluege in alle Welt vermittelt werden. In Sumatra soll Carolina's in Tuk Tuk am Danau Toba sehr gut sein; aber essen tun Sie am besten im neuen Warung 001, hoere ich. <BR>Schoene Straende in der Provinz Aceh an der Nordwestkueste: Lampuuk, Lhokna, Lho'seuda. <BR>Bukittingi sehr zu empfehlen. <BR> <BR>

Last summer when we were in Malaysia, we took a side trip to Sumatra, mainly to go to the hill town of Bukittinggi. We flew from Johor Bahru (near Singapore) to Padang. The flight originated in KL, stopped in Johor and then went on to Padang. It was on Pelangi Air. It was very inexpensive, maybe about US$50 one way. We bought our tickets in KL. I don't know if this helps you (since you want to go to Medan, not Padang), but you may want to consider flying into Padang instead.
