those cheap ticket...say air asia, only got limited seats, so need to book on line months earlier. by air is always no so cheap, taxi from the klia to kl town cost min. rm80+/trip.

if u have budget issue, i suggest u take train - night train 10pm - with bed, get a good sleep & wake up in kl. sing-kl s$ 40+, kl-sing rm40+. cheap enough & safer then bus.

Hi, I travelled last Dec on AirAsia (KL-SIN) SGD$30+, inclusive of the ferry coach (booked online @ RM$5) from KL Sentral station to LCCT.

My 2nd travel this month via Tiger Airways cost me SGD$60 (2-way, without check-in luggage). And the coach fare to/fro KL Sentral station to LCCT costs RM$8/trip. Cheaper than most 26-seater coaches.

However, the cheapest way (I think) is to take bus 170 to Larkin Bus terminal, get a KL-bound coach ticket there (RM$50+ or cheaper). [not recommended, very tedious.]

Happy travelling.

If you are not fixed on flying, then there are many coach options to KL. Stops at many places. Fares range from S$45/= down to about $30/- one way. Takes about 5 hours and beats going to JB for a flight.

Happy travelling.

Yup, somehow agree on this. Because taking coach (bus) will direct you straight into the town, whereas the flight touch down in the Sepang Airport, far away from the town and need to take either bus or taxi to town.

Check the airasia website, you will get loads of info on the timing of flight.

Airasia offer a bus ride connect from the budget airport to KL Sentral (a KTM train / LRT interchange), takes about 1 hour, and cost about RM10 one way.

i always travel by https://www.aeroline.com.sg/ for work to KL.
it will take about 5 hrs and stop at corus hotel, near to KLCC.

A second vote for aeroline bus.... typically <5hrs door to door (provided don't try to cross the border on public hol / eve of pub hol)...leaves from Harbour Front arrives just by KLCC... LCCT/KLIA is 1+ hr from KL town so overall journey times about the same when factor in travel to airports, check-ins, waiting to board etc with a lot less hassles.
From 1-July Firefly is operating to SG from Subang Airport (RM88). Jetstar goes from KLIA, AirAsia from LCCT. Both Airports next to each other but KLIA easily connected to the train to Sentral station; LCCT by bus.

For the firefly, better check with those who have tried the airline recently. From my experienced, my friend and my sister, all get delayed by this airline and eventually they canceled the flight.... But that was almost 1.5 yrs ago, when they just started their business....

Agree; i have a bad experience with Fireflyz, last year they canceled the flight without any notice or any announcement on their website, also never contact me either by phone or email, luckily i've bad habit to check the airfares even after i've bought air tickets.....i've made complaint but they have no any reaction at all.....end up i've to pay more to buy other airlines air ticket

I'm Malaysian, based in KL, but have travelled a LOT to JB and Singapore, and probably the most unsatisfying and expensive propition, time-wise and money-wise, is doing the trip in either direction by air - contrary to what you might think, it does NOT really save time.
The one-hour bus ride from/to LCCT or KLIA itself is laden with irritation, cheap as it might be (approx RM10 only) - figure in an extra 15 minutes to 30 minutes' waiting in less-than-comfortable surroundings, and suddenly air travel doesn't sound so "fast" any more.

For best comfort and adherence to a schedule, take First Coach (from Novena Sq) or Aeroline, or even Causeway Link (Jurong East). Please note, do NOT consider any other lines, as reliability and safety are not priorities with them! You will arrive at your destination well-rested and cool 5 hours later, give or take 15 minutes.

If you're doing the bus trip from JB, use ONLY Causeway Link, and none of any of the other fancy-named lines AND BUY YOUR TICKET ONLY FROM THE Causeway Link COUNTER AT LARKIN BUS TERMINAL (not far from the McD's there). Ignore the "helpful" touts you will meet at every corner in the complex!

Train?! Forget it - it's noisy and less comfortable than the bus, and you likely will not get "a good night's sleep" in your 10pm - 7:30am trip, only to be assaulted by cut-throat taxi drivers as soon as you alight!! And believe me, they treat Malaysians every bit as badly as they would treat a Singaporean!!! Ha, ha, ha!

Good luck, and have a nice, pleasant journey.

I second that although Aeroline buses are getting old. A newer option would be Odyssey which departs from Orchid Copthorne and arrives in Jln Ampang (KLCC) and Mont Kiara. They even offer wi-fi connection on the bus but the reception is not consistent.
