If flying to/from KL, don't use road transport to get to/from the airport, the traffic coming out of KL in our case even on a Saturday afternoon was humungous, we should have used the fast train which takes 35minutes instead of the hour 15 it took by car despite sitting on 120-130kmh, once clear of the city.

Inspite of the emergence of low fare, no frills airlines, I still prefer the major flag carrier - Malaysia Airlines.
They serve hot, good-tasting food. I was also surprised that I was given a glass of orange juice soon after we were airborne. Normally, this practice is for first and business class passengers only and not for those in the economy class.

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!

AirAsia flies all over Asia cheaply. We flew to Langkawi from KL for 75$ round triio and you can get cheaper air fare at different times. The seats are not assigned but we got seats next to each other every time and we were some of the last ones on the plane. No food is served but you can buy food and drink cheaply. They don't waste any time getting you there either.

We flew from Langkawi into the old airport at Subang. I am not sure if they still use that airport.
It was very convenient when going to KL
It is located only 20km from the city so you can catch a taxi for the ride in.

On all of the three times I visited KL,I flew with Saudia Airlines.The flight stoped at Singapore then for transit.
The first time I flew there with my best friend`s father operating the flight.(He has passed away now).was one of Saudia`s best captains(God bless his soul).Why am I telling you this??Well I just wanted to say I felt very secured flying with him.
This picture was taken from the plane in year 2004.

Daily flight from Jakarta to Kuala Lumpur [Kay Ell], using several airlines. Lion Air [Indonesia] has special price and Asian Air also has competitive price. But must be ordered truely early.
And not to be missed when landed at KLIA Sepang International Airport. It's a cool place to be seen. Then continue the trip to KL using KLIA Express.

KL International Airport is a destination itself. It is unique because it has within its boundaries all that are needed for business, entertainment and relaxation. The airport is built on 10,000 hectares (25,000 acres - one of the worlds largest construction site) or 100-sq-km of agricultural land which makes it one of the largest airport sites in the world.
