Nairobi is served primarily by Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) and smaller Wilson Airport (WIL). Jomo Kenyatta functions as Kenya’s main international hub, handling most long-haul and regional carriers — typically Kenya Airways, British Airways and several Middle Eastern and African airlines — and is often perceived as mid-range to premium for international connections. It sits about 15 km southeast of the city center; road transfers typically take 25–50 minutes depending on traffic, with taxis, ride-hailing and airport shuttles commonly available and fares usually varying by service level. Wilson, closer to central Nairobi, caters mainly to domestic and bush flights with smaller carriers and charter operators, offering quicker transfers but fewer amenities. Pros: broad international connectivity at NBO; reliable domestic access at Wilson. Cons: NBO can be busy and affected by peak-hour traffic; Wilson has limited long-haul facilities.

Kuala Lumpur is served primarily by Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL) and the closer Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (SZB) in Subang. KUL functions as Malaysia’s main international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers as well as several low-cost airlines; it’s about 45–60 km south of KL city center, with travel times typically 45–60 minutes by car depending on traffic. The airport rail link (KLIA Ekspres) connects to KL Sentral in roughly 28 minutes with fares usually positioned above basic bus options; taxis and ride-hailing can be faster but cost more. Pros: extensive international connections and modern facilities; cons: distance from central KL and variable road congestion. Subang Airport (Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah, SZB) is often used for domestic, turboprop and general aviation services and can be a budget-friendly option for short hops within Malaysia. Located about 20 km northwest of downtown, road transfers generally take 30–45 minutes; limited shuttle or taxi services are common and fares tend to be cheaper than transfers to KUL. SZB is generally more convenient for domestic travel due to shorter transfer times and smaller terminals, while lacking the wide international network and full-service amenities you’ll find at KUL.
