Kuala Lumpur International Airport

Kuala Lumpur International Airport

 
Kuala Lumpur's ultra-modern airport (airport code: KUL) is located a fair distance from the city. The terminal is connected to the city via a high speed rail line that can whisk you downtown in around 20 minutes.

The airport complex consists of a massive terminal building connected to a linear concourse that mostly serves domestic flights. The main terminal is connected to a remote star-shaped concourse by an automated train. The satellite concourse serves international flights only. There's also a low-cost terminal serving budget airlines.

The main terminal building is on six levels, but most passengers will only have cause to use level three - arrivals - and level five - departures. The satellite consists of a single level plus a mezzanine around the central garden.

The low cost terminal was opened in 2006 and is all on a single level. It is 20 kilometers from the main terminal, and is connected by a free bus service to the express train station.
