Finally, I'm leaving Georgetown and heading to Penang International Airport.
Perhaps due to nervousness, I woke up before 3 AM.
In the morning, I disassembled and packed the buggy. It served me well again this time.
This time, it wasn't the buggy that was the problem, but my right knee. Even so, I'm fortunate to have made it this far.
I called a Grab ride-hailing service before 11 AM and arrived at the airport in about 20 minutes (RM24 = 960 yen).
The waiting time at the airport is always long.
I drink, eat, play on my smartphone, people-watch...
Especially in Malaysia, a multi-ethnic country. I almost forget I'm Japanese.
My flight to Kuala Lumpur departs at 9 PM.
And my flight from Kuala Lumpur to Kansai Airport departs tomorrow morning at 7:30 AM.
Self-check-in is available at kiosk terminals, where you print your ticket and baggage tags.
I checked in my luggage before 6 PM, and the excess baggage fee was about 16,000 yen. Even with budget airline tickets, baggage fees are always a significant expense.
The flight to Kuala Lumpur was delayed by about 20 minutes.
I arrived in Kuala Lumpur around 10:30 PM, and used my Trip.com points to use the VIP lounge for the first time.
Despite my bad knees, I had to walk quite a distance (about 1 kilometer) after getting off the plane.
I've been here once before for a stopover, and it's a very large airport.
The lounge has a cafeteria, a bar, and even a workspace.
I'm finally going home tomorrow at 3 PM. It felt long, yet the 40 days went by in a flash.
