Flying with Firefly Airways

Last Saturday I am flying to Subang from Johor Bahru by Firefly. This is the first time flying with Firefly.   Firefly aircraft has its small body and  a pair of big fans. This small aircraft flies with its twin-turbop and is operated and subsidairy by MAS.   Although it was an hour flight only, they served us with some snacks like cake, pie or nuts and a drink during the fly. This mini aircraft has only 76 seats per aircraft. We were enjoyed taking Firefly because less crowd during boarding and landing at the Subang airport. Subang terminal is spacious and caters for turbo-prop domestic and also regional international commercial flights operated by Firefly and Berjaya Air.

In the mean while, the flight time also suit to our schedule, JB...

As the car goes up the mountain road, you can get the first glimpse of Colmar Tropicale nestling among the green pine trees. It looks like a castle from a storybook. We reached there aroud 4.30pm as the Japanese Garden has closed for visitor. Visitors are only allowed to walk around French Village, and the entrance fees is half of the fees. As we reached Colmar Tropicale, the cool mountain air, colourful flowers add in the European touch to the attraction. We walked across the wooden dawnbridge to the entrance of Colmar Tropicale, just like going into a castle in the olden days. Inside Colmar Tropicale is a cobblestone street with colourful Colmar-style buildings on either side housing a hotel and food outlets. Further up the village street, Colmar Square feature...
