Kuala Lumpur is served mainly by two airports with distinct roles. Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL) is the country’s primary international hub located about 45 km south of the city center in Sepang; it typically handles long-haul carriers and full-service airlines alongside some low-cost operators. Transfer options include the KLIA Ekspres train (around 28 minutes to KL Sentral), airport buses (45–70 minutes depending on traffic) and taxis or ride-hailing (45–60 minutes), with fares varying by service level. Pros: modern facilities, many connections; cons: distance from central Kuala Lumpur can add travel time. Kuala Lumpur’s smaller Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (SZB), closer to the city and historically a domestic and turboprop base, is generally used by regional and some low-cost airlines. It sits about 20 km northwest of downtown and can be reached by taxi or ride-hail in roughly 25–40 minutes; public bus links exist but are less frequent. SZB can be quicker for domestic or regional hops but offers fewer international connections and more limited amenities compared with KUL. Both airports can be cost-effective depending on carrier choice and timing, with budget carriers often perceived as cheaper but requiring attention to add-on fees.
