Hi all,
Recently went to KL for a trip, gathered some info and made some self suggestion to any CSer that wish to visit there.
1. If you fancy of taking flight, a flight that consider cheap (budget airline) is around S$45-60 one way, inclusive of tax, without luggage. Airport tax leaving SG is usually $28, + $10-15 fare. May not necessary book early; sometimes within 2 weeks time, check Tiger airways for cheap price during mid week for non peak season.
Bus is a better option, since the total time for taking flight is almost the same as taking bus.
2. KL has 2 types of airport terminal - LCCT (tiger airways, Air Asia) and KLIA main terminal (Jetstar, Silkair / SQ, MH). There is a shutter bus (around RM4 one way) ply in between this 2 terminal, but expect to wait for at least 15-20 min.
3. From LCCT, there are a few ways to go KL down town.
i) KLIA Transit - RM12.50. A combination of bus and rapid rail.
A bus will take you from LCCT to Salak Tinggi station, then change to a rail system to reach KL Sentral. Total time about 1 hour, this option is very convenient for those who wants to go TBS which located at Bandar Tasik Selatan (the new bus station that most bus to / from south of M'sia depart / arrive)
Details: The fastest way to Kuala Lumpur International Airport and Kuala Lumpur city center
ii) Bus - various options - skybus, etc. Mostly cost RM9. About 1 hour to reach 'KL Sentral'
4. From KLIA, there is the rapid rail KLIA Express is available, beside taxi. Details: The fastest way to Kuala Lumpur International Airport and Kuala Lumpur city center
Also can take bus, which is cheaper; details: http://www.klia.com.my/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=11
5. Various options to take bus (coach) to / from KL now. Most bus from SG will stop at TBS located at Bandar Tasik Selatan station. Some stop at other locations in KL downtown / klang valley, check with bus company.
At Bandar Tasik Selatan stations, there are 3 types of rail services.
i) KLIA transit to KLIA / LCCT, and KL Sentral another direction. (faster way to reach KL Sentral, but need to wait for the correct timing as the train is less frequent)
ii) LRT (can also reach KL Sentral, more stations and need to change to another line)
ii) KTM Komuter (direct, but KTM Komuter is infamous for its slowness and always breakdown).
6. A few type of coaches leave SG, either from
i) conventionally from Golden mile / Boon Lay place
ii) Aeroline from Habour Front center
iii) First coach from Novena or west cost plaza or near Nicole Highway MRT
iv) and some others
Aeroline provide a few arrival spot such as Sunway pyramid or downtown KL.
Similarly, first coach also gives several options. Check their website.
I personally dont like the seat of aeroline, maybe just me. But I like they provide the lounge at lower deck, can charge laptop / phone
