We checked out from our room at 6.15am and waited for our buffet breakfast until 6.30am. Breakfast supposed to start from 6.20am to 10.30am.

We managed to get a return ticket from Kota Kinabalu to Sandakan at zero base fare. Basically we just need to pay RM 24 for this return ticket. Our flight departed at 4pm and we reached Sandakan Airport around 4.35pm. The entire flight journey we wore a mask and glad that everyone followed the standard operating procedure (SOP). However, there's no inflight social distancing. There's a stranger sitting next to me but our front and back row was empty. Before take off, the boatman ass...
