(Kuala Lumpur International Airport)
Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL)
All scheduled air flights, whether domestic or international,
arrive at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (IATA:
KUL ICAO: WMKK) located about 50km to the south of Kuala Lumpur,
in the Sepang district of Selangor. The US$2.5bil modern structure
of glass and steel was inaugurated in 1998 and has been ranked
as one of the top airports of the world. It replaced the former
Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah International Airport in Subang, which
is now used for chartered and turboprop flights. Over 50 airlines
call at KLIA.
Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) opened in March 2006, and
is currently used by AirAsia [3], Tiger Airways [4], and Cebu
Pacific [5]. Though the LCC Terminal is across the runway
tarmac from the Main Terminal Building, it is nearly 20km
away by road. Frequent shuttle buses connect the two terminals,
costing RM2.50 per trip. At the Main Terminal Building, catch
the shuttles at the Bus Terminal on the Ground Floor of the
Car Park C building, while at the LCCT, wait for the buses
at the bus bays right in front of the terminal. If transferring
from the KLIA Ekspres train, make your way to Level 2 and
follow the signs to Car Park C and the Bus Station.

Be careful when locating the transfer bus from the main terminal
to the LCCT, as taxi drivers giving the appearance of being
airport customer service personnel will try to steer tourists
to a mini-bus or taxi with a cost many times greater than
the actual LCCT transfer bus. Frequently they will ask for
a fee similar to a taxi ride into Kuala Lumpur, typically
RM90.
A gigantic new LCC Terminal is being built close to the Main
Terminal & will be called "KLIA2", due for completion
in 2012. It will also be linked to the KLIA Ekspres fast train
from KL Sentral Terminal in the city centre.
