...airport in my home country. Kuala Lumpur International Airport is one of the international airports in Malaysia. This airport had been built on 1998 as part of the government project to host our first Commonwealth Games and also one of the mega projects for the MSC (Multimedia Super Corridor). The main objective and slogan for this airport was to bring the world to Malaysia and Malaysia to the world. As what I know, the cost to build this airport ...
...This is because, Kuala Lumpur City and all surrounding satellite cities had become more well organized especially in traffic and rail system. Since the new airport was opened to public, I had used this airport so many times especially when I was studying in MARA University in Shah Alam (Capital State of Selangor). And Shah Alam is about 20km from Kuala Lumpur. I'm using KLIA facilities every time I want to go back to my hometown located in Kuala ... Read review

The Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) is located at Sepang, Selangor about 60 km away from Kuala Lumpur, and is now the major international air gateway into Malaysia. From the outset, this large airport was designed with an extensive range of facilities in order to maximize its potential for development into a major regional hub. Attempts were made to ensure built-in flexibility in order to accommodate future changes, a strong reliance ...
...Central Link Expressway (NSCLE) from Kuala Lumpur and an express rail link is currently being constructed from a new City Air Terminal at Brickfields in the centre of Kuala Lumpur to the main airport terminal building. Though the current journey time into KL is a frustrating two hours ,the new rail service aims to do the journey is just 45 minutes. Time will tell whether these promises are fulfilled. I have used the airport on a dozen or more ... Read review

Having been through KLIA several times this year, here's my report, but from a business user. Most people will use KLIA as a hub for travel into south east asia, along with Singapore. Carriers: There are several companies that fly to KLIA from Europe, mainly KLM, Malaysian, Virgin (code share with Malaysian), Luthansia. For the flight, I paid around £1500 business class, which, when you consider it's a 13 hour flight, is certainly worth it! Anyway, ...
...there mid afternoon, and returning, most leave around midnight, getting you into europe early morning(around 7am ish). Transport: Until recently, there where two options: A very efficient taxi service, and the bus. The taxi service desk is after arrivals (you cannot miss it!) and is effiecient. You pay around 80 ringgit into KL centre, which is around £15, and the clean, air conditioned taxis take around 35 minutes on a good day). The airport is ... Read review

Advantages: Clean, quite, services available all the time
Disadvantages: Huge - there is even a train to get to the gates.

...It is actully 75km from Kuala Lumper - which can be a hell of a trek if you arrive in the middle of the night or, worse still, during peak hour traffic! As this was my first stopover in KL I was unaware of this and the travel agent certainly did not make this clear. I had a one night stop-over in KL on my return to the UK from Australia. We were late getting in so my 9pm arrival time was actually 11.15pm. By the time I got to my hotel in KL and booked ...
...out at 11am but because the hotel pick up service has multiple stops and was going to be hitting traffic I was told to be ready to leave at 7am!! This made for one very short night! I can not stress strongly enough - if you are only in Malaysia on a lay over spend a bit extra and book a room at one of the airport hotels (they are more expensive but charge per 6 hr block so at least you only pay for what you need to use and the convenience is worth ...

...about during the construction of Kuala Lumpur International Airport, or KLIA. Some say it's a waste of money, others say it's the white elephant of Malaysia. But yet, over the years, KLIA has proven its worth. Malaysia proudly unveiled its new airport on the 29th of June 1998, amidst fireworks and spectacular drums of music. At 9.47pm, the first aircraft Flight MH5407, a Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 (dubbed "Super Ranger") landed, carrying 150 passengers ...
...connected to the city of Kuala Lumpur through various different methods of public transport. It incorporates the concept of AIRPORT IN THE FOREST AND FOREST IN THE AIRPORT. From above, KLIA looks like a structure hidden in the thick rainforest - all the boundaries of KLIA are the natural greens.
