Since this is the official airport. I believe the management can & should 'make-up' the toilet to be more presentable to. The world. I'm proud to be Sabahan.Upvote32DownvoteUpvoted Feb 9

Junariah Datu DerinJune 17, 2013The taxi owner 8872 is an honest person.Whether its just my luck that he charged the same rate from twu to airport. No extra charge though I asked him to stop and wait at diff market and shops.Upvote5Downvote- elly zainalApril 15, 2015The bag drop service opens very late unlike other airports.
