*free bag* South East Asia 🌊 in £410s-£490s rtn from the UK

Flight Finders spotting some extra cheap Vietnam fares 😮

Flight Finders realising there's a tonne of other South East Asian destinations too 🤯

Today's star out of this massive bunch of tropical spots is definitely Kota Kinabalu, on Malaysian Borneo. From here, you can easily reach Tunku Abdul Rahman Park — a set of five heavenly islands with incredible diving spots and a mouthwatering food scene. It's just a 20-minute boat ride from Jesselton Point Ferry Terminal.

A Borneo adventure wouldn’t be complete without these guys! Head east towards Kinabatangan River to reach the heart of wild orangutan territory. You’ll find plenty of eco-lodges here, which will be able to arrange day trips to (responsibly!) spot all the wildlife.

FYI — we've just published our first honest airline review! Give it a read if you're curious to know what the JFC team thought of controversial Saudia Airlines, and stay tuned for more snack-filled ratings...
