Kuala Lumpur Airport Transfers

Kuala Lumpur's international airport (KLIA) is about 75 kilometers from the city center. The quickest way to get into the city is by the express train linking KLIA to the city center's consolidated transportation hub, Sentral. The train runs non-stop between the airport and Sentral, taking less than 30 minutes to make the trip. Departures are every 15 minutes and the fare is RM35.

If you're heading to the Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT), you have the choice of either a direct bus service between Sentral and the LCCT, or a bus - train combination. The bus-only option is around 9 Ringgit. The KLIA Transit service to the LCCT uses the Transit train service, which makes just two stops before reaching the Bandar Tasik Selatan, where you transfer to a bus that takes you to the LCCT. The one-way cost for the Transit service is RM 12.50. If you're traveling at off-peak times, the two services take about the same length of time, but in rush hour the bus - train combination will be faster.

The Sentral terminus is almost as big as the airport terminal. The terminus acts as the city's main train station, linking the city to Butterworth and Thailand to the north as well as Singapore to the south. In addition to the KLIA Express train, two of the city's subway lines also have stations at Sentral. What's more, if you're travelling on an outbound flight by Malaysian Airlines, you can even get your boarding pass and check in your baggage at Sentral. Your bags will be loaded onto the train and transferred to your flight at the airport. You can proceed directly to immigration on reaching the airport.
