What do I need for the flight to Sabah?
It's always smart to be ready for anything when going on a trip. Keep in mind the following for a smooth journey:

  • In all cases you'll need some identification. How much? This depends on where you're jetting from. When booking your flight tickets, you are encouraged to use the same name, gender and birth date as listed on your government-issued ID.
  • If you're flying direct to Sabah, chances are you'll be in the air for quite a while. Take some snacks and things to keep you occupied. Now is a good time to pick up that novel you've been dying to read!

  • Be flexible with your travel dates and wait for exclusive offers or sales on first or business-class airfares.
  • Find a low-cost carrier that has seats in business class. They usually come with extra space and a glass of Champagne — but without the premium price.
  • Bid for an upgrade in online auctions (if available) or upgrade your fare with loyalty points.

What is the best time to go to Sabah?
If you want to immerse yourself in the culture of Sabah in the busy season, June, September and October are the best months to visit.
