Make it happen
Penang is a one-hour
flight from Singapore and
well serviced by budget
airlines. Our family of
four flew with Jetstar for
around S$500 return.
Georgetown and the E &
O Hotel are a 30-minute
t a x i r i d e f r om t h e
airport, around 40 to 50
ringgit, paid in advance
at the taxi counter just
outside the terminal. The
hotel is a Georgetown
landmark, so there’s no
need to give the driver
directions. Rooms at the
E & O can be found on
accommodation search
websites for under $250
a night. Walking is the
recommended way to get
around the historic city,
but taxis are reasonable
and plentiful, and there is
a free hop-on hop-off bus.
