Genting FAQ - Part 3

[TLCTLC88]

is there a way to go genting without taking the long hours bus ride?

Self drive? Stop over in Malacca for a break or stay overnight then continue up north.

 

[s-ghost]

Through flight? But time to reach genting about the same. And cost more too.

ya was thinking flight + bus

Lol

I am thinking of working as host! Haha
Kidding...

Must support china ma. Then they got more revenue to plough back into their AI and battery research. Then better cars from there. Then cheaper. Then more companies like BYD. Then export more to SG. Then we benefit. Then more charging stations. Then higher usage. Then lower cost per kwh. So many Thens... just because of me spreading MFM here. The butterfly effect is tremendous ok .. Muahahahaa!!

No much time saving by flights.
If wanna be "fair", then starting from the time plane flies / bus starts:

Flight time 40min at times. Taxi etc.
Reach immigration within 60min.
Usually can clear within 15min during non hol and off peak flight times like 9ish am flights.

Subtotal 75min

From there you can 1.5 to 2h coach or grab.

Total travel time is within 4h.

But of cos take into account check-in etc. If no check-in luggage, then just hiong 60min before flight with e-boarding pass. Done it many times.
if you are really lucky, saying flying on SQ or MH, may be upgraded to business if flight overbooked.

Plenty opportunities to pee and stretch.

I usually don't coach from KLIA cos only 2 timings I believe. I prefer to KLexpress to Sentral. More options. Hourly or half hourly bus schedule by Genting and Aero. Or if wanna, grab will only cos 60 to 80rm including toll and plenty.

not really so much about time saving, more like i don't want to sit 6 hours inside the bus

They have upgraded the Genting Grand rooms to have wifi. Why is there a need to do such a heavy set up?

Nowadays, IPTV required a minimum 2-3Mbps data speed.
I dont think Hotel WiFi would give you this speed.

Try Okla Speedtest.

CelcomDigi can give you 6-12 Mbps

If book on the spot in real life instead of through online website or app, which hotel got the best chance of getting a room cheapest?

You can always check the the room availability around any hotel area when you are at the Resort World Genting. Thereafter, you can approach their respective front desks and request for the cheapest room at those hotel(s) which still has/have vacancies.

Of course, if your "cheapest" means the cheapest hotel in the Resort World Genting, then it has to be 1st World Hotel - Standard Room. There are usually "tout-people" around the starbucks or the escalators to the SkyCasino area. Try approaching them, a Deluxe Room (at 1st World Hotel) on a weekday was around RM$150-180 when I last checked in Oct 23.

PS: Givansingapore, a member here, mentioned previously that a Deluxe room is not cheap on a weekend. He said, and I quote: "The price of 2 superior deluxe rooms is almost equivalent to the price of a Crockfords superior room for Saturday."
