Kota Kinabalu Airport by Justin Burton
9 May 2006 Customer Rating : n/a
Arrived here first on a Air Asia flight at the end of March on the first
leg of a 7 week trip, Arrived at night and walked to the arrivals area,
no other flights in but it was really just one big room split in 2 one
side immigration the other baggage reclaim, and customs, all a bit
crazy, plus they seemed to want every other person to open up there bags
for inspection. Departing to Sandakan was a lot better, but this was due
to the fact it was a different terminal at the other side of the
airport, very swift check in by MAS a few shops around and covered walk
ways to the aircraft all in all very good. Returned back here 4 days
later for a Air Asia flight to Bangkok, other than this flight went from
the terminal at the other side of the airport, this took half an hour to
figure out, and no one not even Air Asia staff could tell you how to get
from one to another, there is no shuttle bus and it means a taxi out of
the airport via the out skirts of the city taking around 15mins. Lots
of flights delayed only room for one flight in departures so as a
number of flights were delayed it was like a cattle market, open sided
holding area next to taxi rank was the place we had to sit as did 400
other people, one small cafe next to the Air Asia office.

Its like going back in a time machine entering BKI. Luggage is xrayed
before check in. Check in was very quick. We were dropped by the minibus
provided by the tour operator about an hour befor the flight. Had time
for a cup of tea. There are about 5 shops airside. Only problem we had
was 40 minutes sitting at the end of the runway waiting for the storm to
pass before taking off.
