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.

Xi’an is served mainly by Xi’an Xianyang International Airport (XIY), the region’s major international and domestic hub handling full-service carriers and several low-cost airlines. Located about 40–50 km northwest of the city center, travel to downtown typically takes 40–60 minutes by airport express train or 45–75 minutes by taxi depending on traffic; fares for the express train are usually modest while taxi rides can vary with meter charges and highway tolls. The airport offers a broad range of international connections and good ground transport links, making it convenient for most travelers, though the distance from central Xi’an can add transfer time and occasional congestion at peak hours.

In different months, ticket prices from Kuala Lumpur to Xian vary: minimum — $107 (January 2026), maximum — $214 (December 2025). Typically, the flight costs $161–$214.
