Kuala Lumpur International Airport

城市概覽

KLIA is located some 50 km (30 mi) south of the Malaysian capital city of Kuala Lumpur in the Sepang district of Selangor. The airport opened in 1998 and superseded Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang, which is now only used for turboprop and charter flights. Low-cost carriers use a separate KLIA2 terminal, which is connected to the "main" KLIA by train and shuttle buses.

當地交通

KLIA is a large, expanding airport. If you are only concerned with the main terminal (KLIA 1), then getting around is straightforward, with air-side being split into two buildings, the main building and a secondary building (containing the C gates), connected by the free, fast Aerotrain. To transfer between KLIA and KLIA2, take the free shuttle bus (every 10 minutes, 24/7), the RM2.50 Airport Liner bus (early morning to late evening), or the RM2 Inter-Terminal Transfer train (more limited hours). The journey takes about 10 minutes by bus or 3 minutes by train. All of these options are landside, so you will have to clear immigration if coming on an international flight. You may find the airport map here.

購物

Money Money exchange in the airport has terrible rates, only exchange the necessary. In the city you can get much better exchange rates. ATMs seem to be dominated by Euronet, which are notorious for their terrible fees. Keep on looking for proper local bank machines, where withdrawals are often free — there are a few. There is a CIMB ATM at the very end of arrivals at KLIA2 on the righthand side of level 2, right before you leave the terminal building for taxis and buses. Remember, always decline currency conversion to you home currency!

Shopping KLIA has a lot of shops for western products, and not much for local goods.

Harrods. A small version of the London department store next to immigration. Small cafe. Lots of (if not too much) duty-free shops in the international area in KLIA2.

住宿

This lists only accommodation on airport grounds; for nearby hotels that require a shuttle bus, see Sepang. Taking the KLIA Ekspres to town and staying near KL Sentral is also a viable alternative, especially if you're staying overnight and have the time to explore a bit.
