TRAVEL ADVICE...

GETTING HERE

The circuit is adjacent to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). If you are staying with us, our packages include hotel pickup, so let us know your flight information and we will come get you. If you are on your own, the you can get a local taxi to the track; if you are heading for a hotel in KL, then there is an express train service that takes about 30 minutes and costs about $2. KL is nearly an hour drive from the airport, an ordinary taxi costs about $25; they will try to sell you a 'limo' service which isn't much better and is 50% more.

As in most international airports, beware taxi touts!

You can of course rent a car; driving isn't too bad here. Just avoid KL centre! The track has ample parking, and it doesn't get too crowded. Car rental is surprisingly expensive; consider using a local car hire company such as Advantage Car Rentals http://advmsia.com.my/
If you are a VIP customer with us and with your own car, be sure to ask us for a VIP parking pass.

GETTING TO OUR HOTELS
Our 2 hotels are in very different locations:
• The Deluxe Package is at the Pan Pacific at the airport. Look for signs when you exit customs; you can check in at the airport and then walk or take the hotel shuttle.
• The City package is at the DoubleTree by Hilton in KL. If you haven't organised through us, the best way to get there (apart from taxi) is to take the express train and taxi as noted above.

GETTING INTO TOWN

Putray Jaya is situated about half way between KL and the circuit. This gives us a good compromise between a relatively short journey to the circuit and pretty easy reach of KL centre (about 30 minutes drive each way). The hotel runs a free shuttle into town - see their schedule. We also organise a group taxi for those interested on Sat and Sun evenings. IN the KL hotel you are walking distance from everything! From the Pan Pacific you can use the hotel shuttle, or the train.

Taxis anywhere outside of KL are negotiable. You are well advised to agree a flat rate for trips in and out of town. A taxi from the airport to the hotel will be about $20, roughly the same to KL. Taxis add 50% to fares after midnight.

GETTING AROUND MALAYSIA

Not a section we usually add in these, but if you can spare an extra couple of days, you can get some very cheap flights and great packages in some of Malaysia's very nice tourist destinations such as Langkawi Island, Penang, Cameron Highlands; and for city lovers, don't forget Singapore. Air Asia flies cheap flights from KL and the local airport Subang.

Anything else you need, ask us (or our guide or the hotel if you are in place!)

WHILE HERE...

In addition to the MotoGP, some things to see and do in KL:
- Visit Chinatown, in the historic centre. Also see the old colonial centre. Very British!
- The Golden Triangle is where most of the clubs and party spots are (near the iconic Twin Towers). The city has a non-stop night life, probably the best on the MotoGP tournament!
- The shopping district Tuanku Abdul Rahman (near the Golden Triangle) offers an incredible array of goods at super prices
- The Batu Caves to the north of the city are a world famous Hindu site and a fascinating visit
