Advantages: Modern, excellent

Disadvantages: Still underused

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.

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 expected to be between those of a taxi and bus (coach).

Updated:
The ERL has now been operational!
The check in facilities in Sentral is only limited to Malaysia Airlines passengers for now but will be extended to other airlines soon.

The Express Rail Link (ERL) linking KL city to the airport will begin operational from 19 April 2002 via a high speed rail link. This will cost about RM35(~USD9) and takes just under 30 minutes for the direct non-stop service, and few minutes more for the commuter service that serves intermediate stops (e.g. Putrajaya-the new administrative centre).

I just came back from Malaysia. It seems that it's now "busier" compared with the last time I was there. The duty free shops are plenty, especially in the Satellite building (by taking the aerotrain)where most of the international departures are from there.
Other things: mostly well sign-posted, plenty of toilets/wash rooms incl. disabled-friendly facilities. Immigration/check-in are well 1st class, mostly hassle-free.
