There are 2 international airports near to Kuala Lumpur, which is Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT). All of the Air Asia airplanes is landed at the LCCT airport and all other international airplanes landed at KLIA. So if you go to Kuala Lumpur by using an Air Asia, 100% guarantee that you will be landed at LCCT airport, but if you are using other airlines company, you will be landed at KLIA Airport.
KLIA Airport
KLIA airport is a big huge airport surrounded by four main cities of Kuala Lumpur, Shah Alam, Seremban and Malacca. From here to Kuala Lumpur is about 70km. There are many ways for you to go to KL from here. Using a bus is an economical way, the price is ranging from 10 to 25 one way per person, and there are 2 stop in KL which is Hentian Duta and STAR LRT Station, Chan Sow Lin. These buses available every 30 minutes and it took about 1 hour to go to KL.
Another way is by using a taxi. There are 4 types of taxi for you to pick. They are budget taxi (4 passengers), premier limo (4 passengers), super luxury (3 passengers) and family service (8 passengers). I only know budget taxi, the price is between RM70 to RM90 depend on which KL you are going to. Make sure that you buy a taxi coupon at the airport first, otherwise they (the taxi driver) will charge you two times the normal price.
The fastest and the convenient way to go to KL is by using KLIA Express. It is located at the ground floor of the KLIA airport. The train is available every 20 minutes from 5 am to 12am. Price for adult is RM35 one way, RM70 return. For kids between 2-12 years is RM15 one way and RM30 return. In 28 minutes this train will take you to the main hub of railway station in KL, KL Sentral.
LCCT Airport
This airport is very small compared to KLIA airport. This is a dedicated airport for the low cost airline company in Malaysia, Air Asia. Actually you can go to LCCT Airport from KLIA airport by bus in 20 minutes and RM9 price, vice versa. Too bad there are still no express train connecting between this airport to KLIA airport. I hope the government will build it, someday.
There are only two way to go to KL from here. Which is by using a taxi and a bus. No express train from here to KL or to KLIA airport yet. Price for the budget taxi is around RM70-RM90 to KL, depend on which KL you are going to. Make sure that you buy a taxi coupon from the airport, otherwise the taxi driver will charge you two times than the normal price. Yes, they will do!
And then the bus, it is very cheap, it’s cost you RM8 to RM9 to KL depend on which bus you choose. Most of the buses will stop at KL Sentral, the main hub of the railway station in KL. From KL Sentral you can go anywhere in KL by using a taxi or train.
If you have time and you don’t want to miss the experience to go to KL by KLIA Express, you still can do that. Take the bus from LCCT Airport to KLIA Airport, it cost you about RM9 and 20 minutes journey. From KLIA Airport, go to the KLIA Express station at the ground floor.
