Salammmm...

nak minta pendapat korang sikit...saya ni last time gi UK tahun 2003, masa tu London tengah snow for one day in February. So dah lama sangat tak gi sana ni...

Saya plan nak naik Emirates turun ke Manchester via Dubai. Pastu balik via Heathrow. Tapi tiket macam mahal pulak. Lepas tu tgk option to/from Heathrow. Sampai Heathrow, terus naik Virgin train dari London Piccadilly. Bila kat Manchester baru nak sewa kereta. Tapi virgin train ni agak mahal.

So saya dah tgk option lain, ingat nak sewa kereta kat area Heathrow, pastu terus drive sendiri to Manchester. Yang ni nampak on paper mcm cheaper option. Betul ke?

My route plan is like this.... KL - London - Manchester (1 night) - Liverpool (1 night) - Birmingham - Oxford (1 night) - London (4 nights) - Paris (2 nights) - London - KL

2 adults 2 child (5 and 2 years old). Nak bawak family yg tak pernah gi UK. Mainly nak sightseeing, shopping je.

Any other suggestion or recommendation will be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Personally I get air & train tickets much cheaper jika book way in advanced, say 5-6 bulan awal. Forget about booking 56 days before flight, clear your browser cache, bla bla bla ... doesn't work. Tapi choosing a weekday day to fly out & ruturning is true, the ticket will be cheaper than weekends or holidays.

Dah try Oman Air (long layover) atau Turkish for KUL-MAN, LHR-KUL ? For Turkish pulak, do a 1-2 days stop-over di IST, ticket will be chaeper by rm150-300 than flying directly home but you'll incurr hotel cost di Istanbul pula. Cuba juga flying out via LGW.

Cakap pasal renting of car pula, kita kena factor in excess insurance, petrol, parking, (toll) juga. And jika winter months, mungkin perlu chains for the tyres at additional cost (not sure applicable in UK). Rate hotel pula berbeza mengikut hari di UK. Jadi, banyak variables kita kena balance to get the best value for our money. It's becoming a science to do this.

Nak tanya,

1) betul ke di UK, plug point sama macam Malaysia? nak confirm.
tak perlu bawa international plug point kan?

2) Saya akan drive dari Hull, lalu humber bridge, so boleh recommend tinggal di mana semalam?
Ingat nak duduk Peterborough tapi tak tau apa best? sebelum bermalam di Bicester Village

3) Antara Oxford dan Cambridge, mana yang best utk di singgah, saya boleh pergi antara satu ni aje?

Travelodge & Premier Inn is good choice. Ke dua hotel ni bilik agak luas. Boleh buka 2 bag besar, masih ada ruang utk solat. Yg outskirt, most ada parking. Klau peak season, agak mahal juga arr.

Plug socket dan voltage serupa mcm Mesia, 3 pin plug.

Thanks Transporter.

Actually mmg dah consider semua flight options. Kitorang mmg minat Emirates & MAS. Turkish and Omar air ok je cuma dah bawa family ni, we prefer Emirates. Don't know why but we already flew with Emirates banyak kali and so we kinda loyal to them..hahaha... Hari tu KUL-MAN, LHR-KUL tak sampai 2.9k pun...now dah lebih 3k...maybe bukan promo kot..

As recommended by you, kitorg check www.economycarrental.com tu. Very cheap and reasonable insurance costs. Rental for 3 days lagi murah drpd cost one way virgin train to Manchester with 2 adults and 2 kids...

Now we are considering whether to go to Paris for 3D2N or dah alang2 kat Manchester tu, ingat nak drive through Lake District to Edinburgh and Glasgow. We were thinking this trip is meant to cover UK only. So tengok camna.

Kami baru balik Scotland last month. Naturally, sewa kereta dari economycarrental for 5 days at £91. Dapat Hyundai i3, 5 doors manual. Kami travelled 653 miles & fuel used was £71. For long haul flights, kami pula suka yg ada transit 2-4 hrs .... boleh stretch badan & solat. Emirates kami kurang minat bila flight guna A380 ... ramai sangat. Even departure hall di DXB don't have enough chairs for all pax. Klau B777 (or A330/340), kami suka. Alang2 you akan sampai MAN, terus do Lake district than Glasgow. Lepas tu onwards ke Glencoe ... fantastic mountain views. You can do it as a daytrip or overnight di Fort William. Edinburgh nothing much, capital city lah katakan unless you minat castle & bangunan2 lama.

Just stumbled with your blog. Will read more about your trip to Scotland...hehe..Ok will ask you if anything...

Saya ni memang minat aviation. The main reason nak Emirates dan MAS sebab naik A380. Saya ni saiz besar sikit, selesa sikit naik A380 sebab luas. Hari tu penah naik Emirates B777-300, agak sempit. First leg naik B777, pastu naik A380, legaaa....hahaha

Emirates punya A380 boleh ampun lagi tapi klau Lufthansa punya, rasa macam sadin.
And MAS will start using A350 starting Jan 18 instead of the A380 ?

Semesti nya A380 lebih besar, double decker. Hanya for MAS, load tak cukup, not feasible. Penuh bila utk umrah & haji aje.

A350 ni, macam 'replacement' for A330/340 semacam B787 'replacement' for B777. Kedua2 A350 & B787 has at least 50% usage of composite materials.

This year yg pi Europe tu, kami naik A380 ke London. Mmg sengaja request seat kat upperdeck.  Mmg selesa sgt kat upper deck. Kurang seat dr yg lower deck. So aku pelik klu A350 lbh kecik, napa MAS nak tukar guna A350 instead of A380?? Abis tu pesawat A380 yg ada derang nak buat apa?? jd gajah putih ke

A380 tak cukup pax. A380 ada 420 economy seats whilst A350 251 saja. So A350 sekali terbang, agak penuh lah, tak membazir, optimum usage. Dengar cite, the six A380 akan di guna utk route umrah/haji. Januari lepas kami gi umrah naik MAS A380. We opt for business class. Memang nyenyak tidur time balik .. fully reclining seats. Tapi di Jeddah, the ramp for A380 under construction, jadi we were diverted ke Medinah new airport. Maklumlah, nagara Islam yg guna A380 utk umrah/haji MAS aje.

Hi Silverbullet,
kami pun mcm awak, awal2 plan nak pergi Paris, tapi bila fikir2 takmo rushing dengan anak kecik so kami spend time extra 2 mlm tu drive semlm di glasgow dan semalam lagi di Edinburgh. Baru tengok blog transporter...byk membantu mana nak pergi dlm perjalanan dari glasgow ke edinburgh, one that we want to go is,,kepala kuda emas tu hahaha.
We stay one nigh at lake district too...baca2 trip advisor mcm it a must visit kalau dah kat Manchester.

Otw balik dari edinburgh, kami akan bermalam di berwick upon tweed dan hull lagi 2 tak decide lagi before balik ke london.

skrg mcm tengah pening, isnin dah nak fly tapi baru tahu budak bawah 12 tahun or below 135cm kene pakai booster seat. nasib anak dah above 125cm kalau tak nak cari complete booster seat, so skrg tengah fikir nak bawa backless booster seat dari sini atau beli aje dari tesco sana. sebab kalau sewa dari car rental, lagi mahal dari sewa kereta...huhu
