Winter is the ideal time to visit the West Coast and its islands. The weather is dry and sunny, perfect for the beach and urban exploration.

Spring brings the best time to visit the East Coast and Borneo. It is the peak season for diving and beach activities, with excellent underwater visibility.

Romanian citizens do not need a visa for stays up to 90 days for tourism purposes in Malaysia. However, you must have a passport valid for at least six months from the date of entry and a return or onward flight ticket. Make sure you also have proof of sufficient funds for your stay. We recommend always checking the latest entry requirements on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website before booking cheap flights to Malaysia.

In Kuala Lumpur, the public transport system is excellent, including LRT, MRT, and monorail trains, which cover most major attractions. Use the Touch 'n Go card for quick payments. In smaller cities, taxis and ride-sharing services (like Grab, which is very popular and accessible) are the best options. Intercity travel is efficient with luxury buses or express trains. Compared to Romania, public transport is more integrated and modern, but traffic during peak hours can be intense, similar to Bucharest. For islands, ferries are the common means of travel.

Malaysia offers a wide range of accommodation options, from budget hostels to luxury hotels and island resorts. In major cities like Kuala Lumpur and Penang, you can find quality hotels at reasonable prices, often lower than those in Western Europe. Advance booking is crucial, especially during peak seasons or local festivals. For an authentic experience, consider staying in boutique hotels in historic districts, such as Georgetown, Penang. Check reviews about the location and accessibility to public transport before finalizing your booking, to make the most of your cheap flights to Malaysia.

Malaysia is generally a safe country for tourists. However, be vigilant against petty theft, especially in crowded areas, markets, and on public transport. Do not leave valuables unattended. Taxi scams can occur; make sure the driver uses the meter or use ride-sharing apps. Avoid exchanging money on the street. In rural or jungle areas, respect local advice regarding wildlife. Keep a copy of your passport separate from the original. It is a safer destination than many European cities, but basic caution is always necessary, similar to any international trip.

Malaysia is a multi-ethnic society, with Malay, Chinese, and Indian influences. Respect is key. When visiting places of worship (mosques or temples), dress modestly, covering shoulders and knees. Take off your shoes before entering homes or some shops. Use your right hand to give or receive objects, as the left hand is considered unclean. Do not touch someone's head, especially children. A simple 'Terima kasih' (thank you) is appreciated. These small gestures of cultural respect will enhance interactions and help you integrate more easily during your vacation, after finding the best Malaysia flight ticket deals.

Malaysian cuisine is a vibrant blend of flavors. Don't leave without trying Nasi Lemak (rice cooked in coconut milk, served with anchovies, egg, and spicy sauce), Laksa (spicy noodle soup), and Satay (grilled meat skewers with peanut sauce). The best place to experience local food is at 'hawker centers' (open-air food markets), which offer fresh and cheap dishes. Be adventurous, but make sure to eat from vendors with a high flow of customers for freshness. Unlike Romania, where dinner is the main meal, here meals are lighter and more frequent, and street food is an essential part of daily life.

Malaysia offers amazing diversity: from skyscrapers in Kuala Lumpur to the beaches of Langkawi and the jungle of Borneo. For a first visit, allocate 3-4 days for Kuala Lumpur (Petronas Towers, Batu Caves), 3 days for Penang island (street food, street art), and 3-4 days for a beach island (such as Perhentian or Tioman). If you are looking for nature, reserve time for Borneo (Sabah or Sarawak) to see orangutans. Since you found cheap flights to Malaysia, plan your domestic flights in advance to save time and money. Don't try to see everything; focus on a few regions to avoid travel fatigue.

To enjoy Malaysia to the fullest, try not to be just a tourist. Step out of the central areas and explore local neighborhoods. Instead of taking a taxi, use public transport or walk to discover hidden markets and local cafes. A tip from TICKETS.COM.RO: go to a rooftop bar in Kuala Lumpur at sunset, such as Heli Lounge Bar, for a spectacular view of the Petronas Towers and the city. It's the perfect moment for an unforgettable photo, crowning the experience of finding the cheapest Malaysia flight tickets and exploring this wonderful country.
