Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL)Newest Review: ... a very big airport, but it's a pitty that most of the time it's rather quiet and a bit under used. Most services of a modern international airport acan be found here. In just few months time, the Express Rail Link is linking Kuala Lumpur (KL Sentral) to KLIA and vice versa will be operational. A City Air terminal will be establish where departing passengers can check-in their luggage, receive their boarding passes and proceed to board the train to the airport. However, immigration clearence will still be completed at the airport. It will take 30 minutes between KL Sentral to KLIA and the price is yet to be decided but is expe... more |

First the general site is at : http://www.klia.com.my/ It was completed few years ago just before the Commonwealth Games was held in Kuala Lumpur. The facility here is as good as or even better than many major airports around the world. It's a very big airport, but it's a pitty that most of the time it's rather quiet and a bit under used.

KLIA is the largest airport in South East Asia. It is so huge that I was lost when I transit there last summer (or maybe my sense of direction is poor). There are different terminals for domestic and international flights. Due to its massive area, there is frequent air-tram service running between different terminals. Staffs are very helpful. I remember I was looking for a bureau de change cause I needed to get some change to make a phone call. And this Malay lady at the counter told me there isn't one nearby so gave me a coin of RM1. Ho ho!! I was impressed by her generosity. There are many shops in the airport, all new and shopping is really a pleasant thing ... Read the complete review

I've never actually spent any time in Malaysia other than in Kuala Lumpur's international airport. I have flown Malaysia Airlines several times between Indonesia and the UK, each time with a transfer and long wait in Kuala Lumpur airport. On average my waiting times have been between six and seven hours, I love travelling but hate flying so when I have to sit in an airport for six hours ideally I want things to take my mind off the flying side of things. The airport is is very nice to look at, light, airy, spacious, modern, very well designed I'm sure and has a wide variety of duty free shops, cafes, restaurants and all the usual things you find in ...

I visited this airport on a stop off to Australia and I was amazed at it. I didn't expect Malaysia have be rolling in money but as soon as I stepped off the plane and walked into the terminal I was amazed just how modern the place was. It was all air conditioned and tons and tons of room to move about it, it has a monarail going through the different terminals and gates. It was all glass so you could see out to everywhere. We came back via the same airport and landed at like 4:30 in the morning yet we arrived and they had toy shops and various other things open so they want to please the public. I would use this airport again if I had to ... Read the complete review

"The Airport in the Forest. Forest in the Airport"..... Kuala Lumpur International Airport, or more familiarly known as KLIA is the one and only airport in the world that built after this fantastic concept! More importantly, KLIA is not just an airport, but it's a tourist destination in itself. It's an airport as well as a business, retail, relaxation and entertainment centre. It's expected to draw visitors to the airport not only because they want to take the flight, but also to visit the place itself. The architecture of the entire place is designed and constructed in such a way to create and maximize the forest concept. Plants ... Read the complete review
