Practical notes
Use Langkawi International Airport (LGK), not a Kuala Lumpur airport pin. Airport-to-Cenang taxi evidence spans MYR 18–30; the model uses a MYR 30 vehicle allowance each way, not a guaranteed fare. Halal dining is easier to plan here than in many smaller resort destinations, but individual kitchens and alcohol policies still need checking.
Limits of these examples
November can still be rainy; December–February is the stronger dry-season planning window. Sea and cable-car operations depend on weather and maintenance. The model does not promise private beaches, women-only facilities or halal certification. Hotel taxes are reconstructed from supplier metadata and need confirmation against the selected room; a separate local levy may remain payable.
