The airlines serving Kuala Lumpur Airport (KUL) are shared between two separate airport terminals, each catering for international and domestic passengers but sharing the same Airport Code KUL. The two terminals are within clear sight of each other and are connected both by road (car/bus) and by the KLIAEkspres / Transit trains (MYR 2 each way).
The Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) opened in 1998 and caters for full service airlines flying into and out of Kuala Lumpur. The airport has two main sections. The Main terminal building is close to the check-in area and all baggage collection and Customs & Immigration facilities are located in this building. The main building is connected to a Satellite building by an internal train service. KLIA is the home airport for Malaysia Airlines and flights leave from both the Main Building (domestic and short haul flights) and the Satellite Building.
If you are flying on Malaysia Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Emirates Airline, Etihad Airways or Royal Brunei Airlines, you may use the City Check-in facility at KL Sentral Railway Station and travel to the Airport by KLIAekspres without having to carry your own luggage.
Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 (KLIA2) opened in May 2014 and the low-cost airlines fly in and out of this one. If you want to shop while you wait, there is an integrated shopping centre, including a supermarket. Like the ‘big brother’ airport KLIA, the airport has a Main and a Satellite building, although the two are connected by a walkway. There are travellators, but passengers need to take the distance into account when calculating the time they need to get to their Departure Gate. Low-Cost carrier AirAsia uses KLIA2 as its main hub and home airport.
As this list may change from time to time, you can check the current schedule of Arrivals and Departures on the official KLIA and KLIA2 sites.
