Commute

Kuala Lumpur International Airport located about 1 hour away from Kuala Lumpur City.

Please note that there are two separate airports in KL located 10 minutes by car apart from each other. KLIA 2(Terminal 2) services flights from AirAsia, JetStar Asia and Scoot whilst KLIA 1 (Terminal 1) covers most other international airlines and domestic flight routes operated by Malaysia Airlines. Please ensure to read your arrival terminal carefully to avoid confusion on this. 

For Airport transfer, there are a few options that you may consider:

We recommend going with e-hailing/ rideshare services like Grab. A typical ride that seats four passengers from KLIA to the city should cost no more than 65 to 75 RM. Head downstairs to level 1 from the arrival hall at KLIA1 for train and e-hailing services.
