Where the driver waits: The driver waits in the Arrival Concourse on Level 1 of the terminal building, after immigration, baggage reclaim and customs, holding a sign with your name. We track your flight and the first 60 minutes after landing are free; the driver helps with your luggage.
George Town is the historic capital of Penang, on the north-eastern tip of the island, about 19 km from the airport at Bayan Lepas. The drive follows Jalan Tun Dr Awang past the Bayan Lepas industrial zone and then the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway, a coastal highway that runs north along the eastern shore past Queensbay and Jelutong, with the Penang Bridge branching off to the mainland on the right. The expressway ends at the edge of the old town near Pengkalan Weld. Weekday rush hours bring queues around the factories and the bridge interchange.
The UNESCO-listed core of George Town is a grid of shophouse streets between Lebuh Pantai (Beach Street), Lebuh Chulia, Lebuh Armenian and Little India, with the clan jetties on the waterfront of Pengkalan Weld. Khoo Kongsi, the Kapitan Keling Mosque and Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion are all within walking distance of each other, and Fort Cornwallis and the Esplanade lie at the northern tip. Many lanes are narrow and one-way, so some guesthouses are reached on foot from the nearest street. KOMTAR tower marks the modern centre, and Gurney Drive and Pulau Tikus lie a few kilometres north-west.
Public transport instead: Rapid Penang bus 401E from Penang International Airport (Curbside Lane 3, Level 1) to Pengkalan Weld (via KOMTAR area and Lebuh Chulia). Rapid Penang bus 102 from Penang International Airport (Curbside Lane 3, Level 1) to KOMTAR bus terminal (continues to Batu Ferringhi and Teluk Bahang).
