Holidays in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Getting there

Planes
International flights touch down in Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). Emirates (www.emirates.com/uk) is a good option as it operates flights from Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh and Belfast, and KLM (www.klm.com) fills the gaps.
Trains
The non-stop, high-speed KLIA Ekspres service (www.kliaekspres.com) whooshes from KLIA to KL Sentral Station. It’s zippy (faster than a taxi at any time, let alone rush hour), air-conditioned and reliable. And when you leave, do it in style: check-in alongside savvy jet-setters at the Kuala Lumpur City Air Terminal (KL CAT) inside KL Sentral Station before you get onto the KLIA Ekspres.
Automobiles
If you prefer to catch a cab from the airport, don’t bother negotiating a fare with a random cabbie outside: buy a fixed-price taxi ticket to ensure that you arrive at your hotel without a case of haggle-induced stress.
