Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?
More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:
Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.
If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.
This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.
Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.
This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.

Information & Tips for Malaysia
Malaysia is a Southeast Asian country known for its mix of modern cities, rainforests, and cultural heritage. Popular tourist spots include Kuala Lumpur’s Petronas Towers, the historic streets of George Town in Penang, the beaches of Langkawi, and Borneo’s national parks with their diverse wildlife. The local currency is the Malaysian Ringgit (MYR). Prices are generally affordable compared to Western countries, with food, transport, and accommodation offering good value. The climate is hot and humid year-round, with frequent rain—especially during the monsoon season from May to November.
Malaysia has a relatively well-developed transport infrastructure, especially in major cities like Kuala Lumpur, where trains, buses, and ride-hailing apps make getting around fairly easy. The capital has a reliable metro system, but smaller cities rely more on buses and cars. For travel between cities, highways are good and long-distance buses are common, while domestic flights and trains connect major destinations. However, public transport outside urban centers can be limited.
