If you are planning a trip to Miri, and now, still living abroad, I recommend you book your flight to any of Kuala Lumpur, Kuching or Kota Kinabalu city, Sabah. There are flights from these cities to Miri town.

If I travel Kuching, you can book online, either www.Airasia.com or www.MASwings.com.my Malaysia Airlines or www.malaysiaairlines.com for flights to the city of Miri. Air travel takes less than 2 hours.
You can also travel by bus from Kuching. The trip takes about 13-15 hours with several pit stops in several cities in between. The fare is around RM80 per way per person. The coach that I would recommend MTC because the coach did in fewer pit stops compared to Biaramas coaches. The last time he traveled with MTC, the trip took me 13 hours, while the bus ride took us 15 hours Biaramas reach the city of Miri Kuching. If you travel bus from the town of Sibu, then the trip will be about 7 hours to get to Miri.
