Cliff(y) Goes Travelling

KUL-SIN (1h 5m) Airbus 320 ETD: 9.25pm (GMT  +  8) ETA: 10.30p m (GMT + 8) We've finally come to this post that shall put an end to the series on the short trip to Tokyo, Japan in search of early-blooming  sakura (lit. cherry blossom). It'd been a while since I last took a flight with Jetstar, and I finally did again for the short hop back to Singapore from the low-cost carrier terminal of Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Malaysia.

720 Upper Changi Road East, SIA Training Centre, Singapore I know it's high time for me to put a closure to the Japan trip series with a quick post on my Jetstar flight, but before I do that, allow me to publish this post about the very informative guided tour by Singapore Airlines that I took part in last Saturday. Inside Singapore Airlines is part of the Discover Your Singapore Airlines trilogy, running over the last two weekends of November 2020.

Jalan KLIA, Sepang, Selangor, Malaysia I've been to the main terminal of  Kuala Lumpur International Airport  (KLIA), which is the principal international airport of Malaysia, a number of times, but last year finally saw me going to its other terminal known as KLIA2 for the first time. Built at approximately MYR 4 billion (~S$1.31 billion) , KLIA2 is the world's largest purpose-built terminal for low-cost carriers.

NRT-KUL (8h 5m) Boeing 787-9 ETD: 11.05am (GMT  +  9) ETA: 6.10p m (GMT + 8) There was only one reason why I flew from Narita International Airport in Japan to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia instead of Singapore straight away: the amazing deal by Alaska Mileage Plan. Alas, the airline has decided to terminate the so-called '25,000 miles trick' for intra-Asia routes with a stopover in October 2019.

1-1 Furugome, Narita International Airport Terminal 2, Narita, Chiba, Japan Daily: 7.30am - 11.00am, 3.00pm - 7.30pm Japan Airlines prides itself in its Sakura Lounge that exudes elegance with warm and earthy colour scheme. At Narita International Airport Terminal 2, there's a Sakura Lounge in the main terminal building and another one in the satellite building. I know I probably should've checked out the former, but I really enjoyed the serenity of the latter as there weren't many people around.

1-1 Furugome, Narita, Chiba Formerly known as New Tokyo International Airport, Narita International Airport is the busiest airport in Japan by international passenger count and international cargo traffic. Also known as Tokyo-Narita, the airport is actually located outside of the capital city in Chiba Prefecture, approximately 60 km to the east of central Tokyo.

2-8-1 Nagao, Kawasaki, Kanagawa, Japan Daily: 10.00am - 6.00pm Here's a surprise entry that I initially didn't include in the list of posts for the 2019 Tokyo trip. Opened on 3 September 2011, Fujiko F. Fujio Museum is dedicated to the work of the renowned artist most notably known for Doraemon, my no. 1 favourite cartoon character. I actually visited the museum back in 2013, but since I'm not sure when else will I have the chance to write about it, I've decided to come up with the entry today.
