This may do the trick:

Here's a website for a company based in the UK- they're quite good and I 've purchased GP tickets from them before:

Of course, it'll depend on whether or not you want to deal with your purchase in GB pounds or US dollars....

Flights
For the first time, we are dealing directly with Malaysian Airlines.
Departure from Hong Kong on Friday March 17, 2006, flight MH73 is leaving at 14:35 and arriving in Kuala Lumpur at 18:20

Return from Kuala Lumpur Monday March 21, 2006, flight MH74; departure 18.45, arrival in Hong Kong 22.30h. This means you still have time on Monday to do some shopping or sightseeing. We leave the hotel by bus around 15:30h.
If you would require to fly in earlier or return later, please contact me, we can make you an attractive offer. If you don’t need flights at all, because you don’t come from Hong Kong for example, that is not a problem, please contact me and we can work something out;



Hotel
The Federal is a ****hotel on Bukit Bintang, the Lan Kwai Fong area of KL! Room and breakfast is
included in the package. There’s a very nice swimming pool in the patio, and the atmosphere is
nice and friendly. It is located next to some major shopping Plazas; there are plenty of bars,
restaurants, discos, and so on in the direct proximity. It’s the third year we will be going to this
hotel. I was assured there will not be an organic weekend planned!!!


Our Race Weekend Schedule (To Be Confirmed!):
As the qualifying format has changed once again, we will have to wait for the Bahrain race to see
how interesting the Saturday will be.
For 2006, the single-lap system used in recent years is replaced be a new three-part, knockout
format, with multiple cars on track throughout the qualifying hour, which is split into two 15-minute
sessions and a final 20-minute session, with five-minute breaks in between.
Part one: All 20 cars may run laps at any time during the first 15 minutes of the hour. At the end
of the first 15 minutes, the five slowest cars drop out and fill the final five grid places.
Part two: After a five-minute break, the times will be reset and the 15 remaining cars then will
then run in a second 15-minute session - again they may complete as many laps as they want at
any time during that period. At the end of the 15 minutes, the five slowest cars drop out and fill
places 11 to 15 on the grid.
Part three: After another five-minute break, the times are reset and the final 20-minute session
will feature a shootout between the remaining 10 cars to decide pole position and the starting
order for the top 10 grid places. Again, these cars may run as many laps as they wish.
In the first two 15-minute sessions, cars may run any fuel load and drivers knocked out after
those sessions may refuel ahead of the race. However, the top-ten drivers must begin the final
20-minute session with the fuel load on which they plan to start the race. They will be weighed
before they leave the pits, and whatever fuel they use in the 20 minutes may be replaced at the
end of the session.
Sunday has the race at 15:00. Departure will be scheduled about 8AM, most probably. More
details to come.
All transportation in Kuala Lumpur is included in the package; this includes the transfer from the
airport to the Hotel on Friday night, from the hotel to the race track and back on Saturday and
Sunday and return from the hotel to the airport on Monday afternoon, all with an air-conditioned
touring car and the same driver and guide as the past years.
Apart from the race, if you want to go shopping or sightseeing or anything on Saturday (Sunday
would be a bad idea), nobody has to go to the circuit, it’s a free weekend for all.


Departure: Friday 17 March 14:35 (KL 18:20)
