  • 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!

  • 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?
