From Cititel Penang to Airport is RM40, surcharge then RM60 (11pm to 7am).

Bus is flexible in Penang. Unsure of which bus to take, just ask the bus driver. My experience is that the local aint sure either. On the safe side, just ask the bus driver, and ask them to prompt u when reach your destination. They are helpful.

For me, the food in Penang is so so only. Maybe, I'm from Sarawak. Hence, i think Sarawak laksa and char kuay teow taste better.

If you got a GPS, make used of it. It will ease your trip.

Just came back from Penang. Overall find the food relatively cheap but transport via taxi is rather expensive if u intend to travel around various sightseeing places.

On the whole, My personal observation is that Penang old folks are rather grumpy and impatient, evident from my encounter at different food stalls. (street peddlars, dim sum place around Georgetown.

That's my experience. Hopefully yours would be better
