It is commonly used by domestic carriers and low-cost airlines, so fares can be competitive compared with larger Malaysian hubs. The airport lies about 7–12 km from the city center; taxis and ride-hailing are the fastest options, usually taking 15–25 minutes and costing a modest amount, while local buses and hotel shuttles can offer cheaper albeit slower transfers. Pros include compact terminals and short connection walks; cons can be limited late‑night services and fewer dining or lounge options compared with bigger airports.
Kuala Lumpur is served primarily by Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL), a major international hub handling long-haul carriers and full-service airlines alongside a growing number of low-cost operators; it’s located about 45 km south of the city center. Typical transfers include the KLIA Ekspres (around 28 minutes to KL Sentral, usually pricier than buses), airport buses (45–70 minutes depending on traffic, generally the cheapest option) and taxis or ride-hailing services (roughly 45–60 minutes; fares vary by service and time of day). Pros: modern facilities, extensive route network and frequent connections. Cons: distance from downtown can add time and cost for transfers, and peak-hour road congestion may extend journeys.
