Genting FAQ - Part 3

[kevinlaikf]

going genting this saturday, what do i need to prepare? do i need to download the MySejahtera app? do i need to upload vax cert in it? i did do that like one month ago, but hey never update the app anyway.

do i need to carry hardcopies of the vax cert and hotel booking and coach booking?

The MySejahtera app by govt decree, no longer need, but some weary folks still practise it in private compound.
To speed up the "Fully Vaccinated", use the HealthBuddy pdf. I opened up on my mobile and answered all the questions, dates, types, and do a screenshot of the pdf as jpeg, and upload. You click their helpdesk link during weekdays morning, and it will be updated within hours.

Hi friends and Genting kakis, glad to see GH getting so busy. Am going up again in late May for a short trip (damn can't resist the casino).

PS. Just recently upgraded to gold card and was wondering if "host" is available and how do you contact such "host"?

 

[kevinlaikf]

I checked WTS site, seems like they are no more offering the deluxe spacious coach to Genting..

Transtar have premium deluxe coach? Golden mile have?

Its a long time I go Genting, wish to pamper myself. Flight to KL (then aerobus to genting) would be much more troublesome due to the need of covid pre-check which not required in land crossing.

last visit was the week before the locked down in Mid-March 2020.

I booked rooms for early July due to member offers. Better chope room after June school holidays to avoid crowds, and before July 29 to avoid Lunar 7th month.

Based on previous years experience, around June-July, they had member-only (Gold and above) durian fest.. dunno this year have?

If you qualify for host services, they will contact you to offer the service.

For Transtar, the best premium coach they have is the Solitaire. This you have to ask bro Vaxvms.

As for durians, hearsay is that quantity is affected by the heavy rain in Jan period this year. Will do a check when I travel up mid June.

just heard fr a friend that gh has changd strategy.
every 3 mths they'll only offer one time 3nights premium rooms.
but i found its not quite true because gh is offering me fwh foc every mth but only standard rm. i m not an upgrader but kenna downgraded because no more goldplus. last time every mth also got cockfcuk htl.
regarding justin_T query abt 'host', u only can hope one will call u. last time my wife platinum also got host like no host! maybe ghost!

i am about to book Transtar solitaire suite for Jun trip for 2 person
from the website, it seem like seats 15,16,17,18 are at bottoms floor which suits us.
15,16
17,18

But not sure which pair nearer to the back, (15,16) or (17,18)?
i called transtar buts it seems always engaged. and the online layout of the seat booking seems did not indicate driver direction.

We prefer seats nearer to the back, away from driver.

anyone knows their arrangement?
