The Penang to Langkawi flight on Air Asia took just 19 minutes runway to runway, making it the shortest flight Dave has ever been on. This travel day video compares the ferry and flight options, then covers renting a car on Langkawi with Langkawi Book.
Ferry or Flight
Dave and Kim explored the various ways to get from Penang to Langkawi, including the Penang to Langkawi ferry, and decided on flying instead. For travelers making the same choice, the video lays out the trade offs and shows what the flight option is actually like.
A 19 Minute Flight
The Air Asia flight from Penang to Langkawi ran just 19 minutes from takeoff to landing, the shortest flight Dave has ever been on. Barely enough time to reach cruising altitude, it is a fun reminder that island hops in Southeast Asia can be remarkably quick and cheap.
Renting a Car on Langkawi
On arrival, the couple decided to rent a car and searched online for the best car rental in Langkawi. They found Langkawi Book and were extremely satisfied with the entire process and service, and the video shares the link so viewers can use the same company.
Why a Car Helps on Langkawi
Langkawi's attractions are spread across the island, from the Oriental Village to waterfalls and beaches, so a rental car makes sightseeing far easier than relying on taxis. This episode effectively doubles as a getting around Langkawi guide.
