Unable to find information about the schedule of direct flights from
Riyadh is served primarily by King Khalid International Airport (RUH), the city’s main international hub handling most long-haul and regional flights and a mix of full-service carriers and some budget operators. The airport sits around 40–50 km north of the city center, with travel times typically ranging from 30–60 minutes by taxi or ride-hailing (fares generally higher than local public transport), while airport shuttles and private transfers can be more economical for groups. RUH is modern and spacious, usually efficient for transfers but can involve longer walks between terminals. For closer, domestic-focused options, older smaller airfields are occasionally used for charter or non-scheduled services, offering convenience but limited connectivity.
Kuala Lumpur is served mainly by Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL) and the city-centric Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah/Palaya Subang (SZB) which often handles turboprop and private flights. KUL functions as Malaysia’s principal international hub, used by full-service carriers and many long-haul and regional connections, while SZB can be a budget or bizjet alternative for shorter domestic and regional journeys. KUL sits about 45–60 km south of the city center; travel by KLIA Ekspres takes roughly 28 minutes (higher fares) or buses and taxis take 45–75 minutes depending on traffic (fares vary). Subang is around 20 km northwest and can be reached in 30–50 minutes. Pros: broad connectivity and modern facilities at KUL; faster downtown access from Subang. Cons: longer transfers from KUL in peak traffic and occasionally crowded terminals during peak travel periods.
