Kuala Lumpur is served primarily by Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL) and the smaller Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (SZB) in Subang. KUL is the country’s main international hub, handling full-service carriers like Malaysia Airlines and many long-haul and low-cost international flights; it can be perceived as mid-range to budget depending on carrier choice. Located about 45–60 km south of the city center, transfer options include the KLIA Ekspres train (roughly 28 minutes to KL Sentral, higher fare), airport buses and taxi/ride-hail services (45–90 minutes depending on traffic, variable fares). SZB typically caters to regional turboprops, turboprops and some turboprop-charter or turboprop-business jets and can feel more domestic and compact; it’s about 25 km from central Kuala Lumpur with taxi rides around 30–60 minutes. Pros: KUL offers wide connectivity and modern facilities, while SZB can be quicker and less crowded for regional flights. Cons: KUL’s distance and occasional peak-hour road congestion can add time and cost to transfers, and some cheaper carriers operate from separate terminals that require extra transit time.

Riyadh is served mainly by King Khalid International Airport (RUH), the city’s large international hub that handles most long-haul and regional carriers alongside some full-service and low-cost airlines. RUH sits roughly 35–45 km north of downtown Riyadh, with highway transfers typically taking 30–50 minutes depending on traffic; airport taxis and app-based rides often cost in the moderate to high range, while private transfers can be pricier. There are limited public shuttle options and occasional bus links that may be slower but cheaper. Pros: modern facilities and wide route options; cons: distance from the city center and variable transfer times during peak traffic. For certain domestic routes, small secondary terminals or charter services can sometimes offer more budget-focused schedules.
