When I booked my tickets 7 months ago ... it would be an early morning departure from Kuala Lumpur [Kuala-Lumpur-travel-guide-1096867] to Manado tomorrow and there's no "connecting" flights from Kuching [Kuching-travel-guide-1096915] to Kuala Lumpur at that time. So fortunately, there's Tune Hotels ... a sister company to Air Asia. I couldn't get their cheapest rate but it is still cheap and handy ... right opposite the airport terminal.
The room comes at prices as low as a few cents ... you pay fair prices for options like air-conditioning (a few bucks for the night) and towels. Comfy nicely-sheeted King-Coil beds and luxurious rain-shower are all included.
As it turned out a few weeks after booking, tomorrow's morning flight was rescheduled till the afteroon. As it would only be a minor inconvenience, we didn't rejig our arrangements to trade our nightstop for a same-day connection.
