KCH Day 6 │ Flying ✈ from KUCHING

Leaving Kuching — The Journey Home ✈️

After six hectic days of running around, errands, and settling Brendan back into campus life, it was finally time for us to leave Kuching.

Farewell at UNIMAS

We checked out of our Airbnb and made one last drive to UNIMAS to drop Brendan off at his college. We spent a little time there, sharing a few quiet moments before saying our goodbye.

It was never easy, but there was also a sense of pride knowing he was continuing his journey.

Back to the Airport

About half an hour later, we arrived at Kuching International Airport. We returned our rental car to Awang Amirul, thanked him for the smooth arrangement, and made our way into the terminal.

We had booked our return flight on Malaysia Airlines, and after checking in our luggage, we prepared to board.

Flight Back to Kuala Lumpur

We boarded MH2529, which would take about an hour and a half.

• Captain: Cpt Yap
• Lead cabin crew: Syaiful

It was only our second flight since the pandemic, and admittedly, the nervousness hadn’t quite gone away. Thankfully, the plane had in flight entertainment, which helped distract us a little.

The flight departed at 2:00pm.

A Smooth Ride

As always, we preferred travelling by land—but once again, we were in safe hands.

Under the steady control of Capt. Yap, the flight was:

• Smooth
• Calm
• Almost turbulence free

Both take off and landing were uneventful, which went a long way in helping us feel more at ease with flying again.

Touchdown and the Ride Home

We landed in KLIA at 3:22pm. After collecting our luggage, we headed down to Level 1 to purchase tickets for the ERL (KLIA Express).

The train ride to KL Sentral was smooth and comfortable, taking about half an hour. From there, we hopped into a Grab car for the final leg home.

The End of a Chapter

And just like that, our Kuching trip came to an end.

It had been:

• Busy
• Meaningful
• At times emotional

But above all, it was a journey that mattered.

We left Brendan behind to continue his studies, while we carried home a mix of memories—food, places, and moments that stayed with us.

Looking Ahead

This may be the end of this Kuching series, but as always…

another adventure is never too far away.

Stay tuned—we’ll be back with more soon. ✨
