Agrees with my experience. For incoming travellers: - Avoid the taxi divers or hotel reps in the arrival hall offering you transport/accommodation - take the lift down and get the KLIA Express train to Sentral (RM35) - prepay the taxi at the official taxi counter (~20RM) to get you to your hotel. - relax, KL is a wonderful city!!!

They usually have a arrangement with drivers for a set price, usually very reasonable. -- Regards Mark Ellis Senior Project Manager eClinic Pty Ltd / PalCare Pty Ltd 657 Nicholson Street Carlton North VIC 3054 Australia M: +61 4 1048 0772 O: +61 3 9381 4567 W: www.eclinic.com.au E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:mark%40eclinic.com.au> com.au ---------------------------------- [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
