Route Tips
- Use Kuala Lumpur’s two airports strategically: Low-cost carriers use KLIA2 (LCCT), while full-service airlines use KLIA. Check which terminal your airline uses before booking ground transport.
- Malaysia offers a visa-free entry for most EU passport holders for up to 90 days. Ensure your passport is valid for 6 months beyond your arrival date.
- Book the KLIA Ekspres train online in advance for a 15% discount — this is faster and often cheaper than taxi for city center transport.
- Consider a 2-3 day stopover in your connection city (Doha, Dubai, Istanbul) as airlines often offer free or discounted stopovers — this breaks up the journey and adds a bonus destination.
- Download the ‘Grab’ app before arriving in Malaysia — it’s the Southeast Asian equivalent of Uber and offers fixed, transparent pricing for airport and city transfers.
