Getting to central Kuala Lumpur from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL)

KLIA is about 55 km south of central Kuala Lumpur, making it one of the more distant major airports in Southeast Asia. The express train is by far the fastest option. Note that KLIA has two terminals: KLIA (main terminal) and KLIA2 (budget terminal, mainly AirAsia), connected by an automated shuttle.

  • KLIA Ekspres is a non-stop train from the airport to KL Sentral, taking 28 minutes from KLIA or 33 minutes from KLIA2. Trains run every 20 minutes from about 5 am to midnight. KL Sentral connects to the LRT, monorail and KTM Komuter for onward travel.
  • KLIA Transit runs the same tracks but stops at intermediate stations, taking 35 to 39 minutes depending on the terminal. Same fare as the Ekspres for the full journey, but useful if those intermediate stops suit your destination.
  • Express buses run from both terminals to KL Sentral roughly every 30 minutes, taking about an hour. The cheapest option but subject to traffic.
  • Grab operates from designated pickup areas at both terminals. Fares are typically lower than fixed-rate airport taxis.
  • Fixed-rate taxis are available from counters inside arrivals. Allow 45 to 75 minutes to the city depending on traffic.

Bukit Bintang (KL's main tourist district) is not at KL Sentral. Take the KL Monorail a few stops from Sentral, or a short Grab ride. The KLIA Expressway and MEX are both tolled.
