Kuala Lumpur is served primarily by Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL), a large international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carriers alongside many regional and low-cost airlines. Located about 45 km south of the city centre in Sepang, KUL is typically used for international and major domestic flights; travel to downtown usually takes 45–60 minutes by KLIA Ekspres train (approx. 28–55 MYR) or 50–90 minutes by taxi/ride-hail (fares vary by time and route). For budget travelers, KLIA also hosts several low-cost carriers and has basic but efficient facilities; pros include extensive connectivity and frequent rail links, while cons can be longer transfer times and occasional peak-hour crowds.
Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (SZB), often called Subang Airport, occupies a closer position about 20 km west of central Kuala Lumpur and primarily handles turboprop, regional and some business aviation, plus a smaller number of domestic flights. Typically favored by turboprop and regional carriers and private flights, Subang can be quicker to reach — roughly 30–50 minutes by taxi or ride-hail, with local bus options available at lower cost — and is perceived as more convenient for short domestic hops. Facilities are modest compared with KUL, so advantages include shorter transfer times and easier check-in, while limitations involve fewer long-haul options and reduced amenities for international travellers.
