Kuala Lumpur is served primarily by Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL) and Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah/Subang Airport (SZB). KUL functions as the country’s main international hub for full-service carriers like Malaysia Airlines, along with many low-cost long-haul and regional operators using its modern terminals; it’s typically seen as mid-range to budget-friendly depending on carrier choice. The airport sits about 45–60 km south of central KL, with the KLIA Ekspres train taking roughly 28 minutes (fares usually in the mid-range for airport rail), taxis/ride-hailing taking 45–60 minutes depending on traffic (metered or fixed fares), and shuttle buses offering cheaper but slower transfers. Pros: extensive international connections and good passenger facilities; cons: distance from the city and possible peak-hour congestion. Subang (SZB) is closer at around 20 km and can be a convenient option for domestic and regional turboprop or business aviation flights, with shorter road transfer times but fewer long-haul services.
Kualanamu International Airport (KNO) is Medan’s main international gateway and usually serves as the city’s full-service hub, handling most long-haul and regional flights alongside a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers. Located about 40–50 km northeast of downtown Medan, transfer times to the city center can be roughly 40–60 minutes by taxi or private car depending on traffic, with ride fares typically higher than inner-city trips; airport shuttles and bus services offer slower but cheaper alternatives. Pros: modern facilities, regular international connections and clearer transit links. Cons: longer transfer distance and fares that can be relatively elevated compared with airports closer to town.
