Malaysian trying to save RM100 almost missed RM5,000 flight back home

There are several ways to get to Heathrow Airport, but the safest is probably via the express train. — Filepic

The clock showed 5.30am and I was beginning to feel restless. I was in London, England and my flight back to Malaysia was bound to leave Heathrow Airport in under three hours... and I was nowhere near the place.

In hindsight, I could have avoided this whole episode had I taken the Paddington-Heathrow Express, which goes directly to the airport from the city. Instead, I had opted for the cheaper option and took the regular train.
