Is KTM ETS Business Class Worth It? ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ Penang to Kuala Lumpur Train

Is KTM ETS Business Class worth it? We took the train from Penang (George Town) to Kuala Lumpur to find out. This is our full journey on the KTM ETS Business Class (EX9109 Express), including ferry, lounge access, food, and onboard experience. Traveling from George Town, Penang to Kuala Lumpur isnโ€™t just about getting from A to B โ€” itโ€™s part of the experience. We start our journey walking through George Town to the ferry terminal, picking up some local snacks along the way (including egg tarts and pastries ๐Ÿฅ). After a short ferry ride to Butterworth, we get access to the KTM ETS Business Class lounge, where we relax with free coffee before boarding the train. Once onboard, we show you exactly what KTM ETS Business Class is like โ€” from the seats and comfort to the food and snacks served during the journey. ๐Ÿฑ We finish the trip in Kuala Lumpur and head to our Airbnb โ€” was it worth taking the train instead of flying? Watch to find out. โฑ๏ธ Chapters 00:00 Penang to Kuala Lumpur by Train ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ 00:18 George Town Walk + Egg Tarts 01:25 Ferry from Penang to Butterworth 02:05 Arriving at Butterworth Station 03:13 Ruby Lounge KTMB - Business Class 04:13 Boarding the Train 04:26 KTM ETS Business Class vs Standard 05:12 Food & Snacks Onboard 06:33 Business Class Seat Review 7:55 Snacks Onboard (coffee & muffins) 8:09 Train vs Flight? 8:51 Arrival in Kuala Lumpur 9:02 Final Thoughts โ€“ Is It Worth It? ๐ŸŽฅ Hereโ€™s what to expect: โ€ข Walking through George Town to the ferry terminal โ€ข Ferry from Penang to Butterworth โ€ข KTM ETS Business Class lounge experience โ€ข Food & drinks onboard the train โ€ข Full train experience (comfort, seats, service) โ€ข Arrival in Kuala Lumpur ๐Ÿ“ Places featured in this video: โ€ข Ming Xiang Tai Pastry Shop: https://maps.app.goo.gl/cpE5LF8aKhJx6... โ€ข KTMB Butterworth Station: https://maps.app.goo.gl/E8YuC3jVeLCyT... โ€ข Ruby Lounge KTMB: https://maps.app.goo.gl/dKxGg13xvdTKP... #MalaysiaTravel #TrainTravel #KTMETS
