Great find, thanks! Kuala Lumpur is a great springboard to explore South East Asia – there are lots of flights on AirAsia within the region, often for a few bucks! And January to March s dry season in much of SE Asia, so good timing, too!
Kuala Lumpur is inexpensive to stay, too, for a stop-over! You can stay for cash or points for very little! And trains make it easy to get into town or around! My favorite area for stopovers is KL Sentral, the end of the airport train, with hotels like the aloft, Le Meridien or Hilton, often available for $100 or less! Or the Doubletree KLCC is only 10,000 points/night – some of the best Hilton Honors value I”ve found!
