From Langkawi International Airport you can reach Kuala Lumpur under an hour. To Singapore it takes a little more than one hour.

When not in Langkawi or cruising, Kayu Manis can be found in Ao Chalong Phuket. Phuket is equaly equiped with an international airport. Direct flights to Phuket are available from many European and Japanese cities, Singapore, Hong Kong, Kula Lumpur and Bangkok.
