Cheap Flights from Abu Dhabi to Kuala Lumpur — $144

Abu Dhabi International (AUH) is the emirate’s primary international gateway, serving full-service network carriers and many Gulf-based airlines alongside a growing roster of international and low-cost operators. Located about 30–35 km east of downtown Abu Dhabi, typical transfers to the city take roughly 30–45 minutes by taxi or ride-hail and around 45–60 minutes by public bus; fares can range from modest bus tickets to mid-range taxi rates depending on traffic. The airport is usually seen as a comfortable, modern hub with full amenities and good connections, but travelers on tight budgets may find some ground transport and on-site services priced higher than elsewhere in the region.

Kuala Lumpur is served primarily by Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL) and the closer Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah/ Subang Airport (SZB). KUL functions as Malaysia’s main international hub, handling long-haul and full-service carriers (Malaysia Airlines, Emirates, Qatar) as well as many low-cost operators via klia2; fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on carrier and season. The airport is about 45–60 km from downtown KL, with transit options including the KLIA Ekspres (28–35 minutes), airport buses (60–90 minutes), and taxis or ride-hailing (45–75 minutes; fares vary by service). Subang is a smaller domestic/regional base often used by turboprops and some business flights, around 20 km from the city center and reachable by light rail, buses, or short taxi rides. Pros: KUL offers extensive international connections and modern facilities; cons: it can be relatively far and transfer times may vary. Subang’s benefit is proximity, while its service network is more limited.
