Unable to find information about the schedule of direct flights from
Kuala Lumpur is served primarily by Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL), the country’s main international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carrier traffic, and Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (SZB), which can be used for domestic and some regional budget flights. KUL sits about 45–60 km south of the city centre; typical transfers include the KLIA Ekspres train (roughly 28–35 minutes, mid-range fares), airport buses and taxis or ride-hailing (40–60 minutes depending on traffic, fares vary). SZB is closer, around 25 km northwest, accessible by shuttle buses and taxis in 30–50 minutes. KUL tends to be perceived as mid-to-upper priced for convenience and facilities, while SZB can be cheaper for short regional hops. Pros: wide international connectivity and modern amenities at KUL; quicker access to the northern suburbs from SZB. Cons: potential for longer transfer times from KUL in peak traffic and multiple terminals that may require extra transit time.
San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is the Bay Area’s primary international gateway and a major hub for full-service carriers, so it typically handles long-haul and domestic connections as well as premium lounge services. Budget and regional flights can be found but often use different terminals or nearby secondary fields. The airport sits about 13 miles south of downtown San Francisco; BART trains reach the airport in roughly 30–40 minutes with fares usually in a moderate range, while airport shuttles and taxis can take 25–45 minutes depending on traffic and cost more. Rideshares and rental cars are widely available. Pros: extensive international connections, ample amenities and ground-transport options. Cons: can be busy, transfers between terminals and peak-hour traffic may add time and complexity.
