    I flew to KL from Moscow (via Amman) on Royal Jordanian Airlines--probably not the most typical way to go, but it was cheap and comfortable. The photo here is KL's train station, which is also a nice entry point if you're coming from anyplace closer than Moscow!
    Taxis are easy to find and use in KL. Although the traffic is murder in this city, driving can be preferable to walking in some areas since the city is very polluted. It's also quite spread out, so much of the city is not reachable on foot.

    We fley Malaysia Airlines from Melbourne. It was our 1st flight with them, previuosly had gone on Qantas. I would highly recommend them, mainly due to staff courtesy (read: lack of attitude) and the tv screens in the seat infront of you!! I watched two movies on the way over!
    Don't be afraid to take the public transport, it is an excellent system. We ventured off by ourselves to Subang Jaya and then took a bus around, which was fine. Very cheap and exceptionally clean!!
    At the same time, don't be afraid to walk around with a map either. Taxis are cheap too.

    Most people fly in, I suppose. Most international carriers that fly to Southeast Asia have KL on their route systems. For my money, though, I would pick Malaysian Airlines. It's first rate, the food is good, the service is excellent, and transiting KLIA is a piece of cake

  • Check out www.AirAsia.com, I flew from KL to Phucket in 2004, they also fly to Bangkok, Krabi and Chiang Mai.
    In my opinion an excellent airline - and very cheap with regular flights and a modern fleet of aircraft.

  • Malaysia airlines are having a domestic package sale whereby all domestic fares are half price - good time to check out Redang, or Kota Kinabalu, penang, melacca.

    Air Travel: Asia's cheapest and yet most efficient Air Company

  • To travel around Malaysia, we are lucky to have this no fril air company. The price of a one way ticket can go as low as RM9.99 (about USD4)!!!! Can you believe it? The most convenient is, you can do all the bookings thru the net and check in with only reservation numbers (ticketless).

    Air Travel: Low Cost Carrier Terminal at KLIA
  • By buayadarat on April 13, 2007
  • Kuala Lumpur Page by buayadarat
  • After only one year in operation the Low Cost Carrier Terminal at KL International Airport seems to be too small already. While the other terminal is mostly empty, the LCCT is already pretty crowded.
    The story of this terminal of course goes along with the success of Air Asia. A few days ago, Air Asia has occupied about fifty of the seventy check-in counters, two other counters are used by Cebu Pacific, for the moment there are no other airlines there yet.

    In both of the restaurants, as well as in the seating area for international departure, there were almost no seats available anymore.

    Unfortunately you can not get to this terminal by any of the trains, there are only buses and taxis, but on the other hand - you pay less and you get less; this budget terminal ist still better than some "full fare" terminals in South-East-Asia.

    Air Travel: Air Asia Rocks!!

  • Air Asia, the discount airline absolutely rocks! In a nutshell, it is dirt cheap and it flies to plenty of places all over Southeast Asia, including Phuket, Macau, and Jakarta. If you book ahead, flights can be as little as ten dollars.

    Sure, it's mayhem. The queues at the airport are often staggering, and there is no seat allocation (one has to politely stop everyone from elbowing their way past you to get the best seats on the plane when they open the airbridge), but it's all worth it for the price. If I lived in KL, I would be hopping somewhere every weekend!
