Kuala Lumpur Airport

[John Da' Nodge]

Anybody been through here?

Just lookin at flights there and can save myself close to €500 euro by making a 20hour stop there between flights..is it a good airport with decent facalities? Is there much to go out and about to do? Is the place expensive and would i be bettet forking over the €500 and give it a miss?

Any help at all is appriciated!

I did that in 2005, was grand from what I remember. Airport is outside the city though. We just stayed at the airport hotel.

Tis grand. They have an airside hotel as well. I stayed there in the past for 10 or 12 hours. Cost me about 70 euro.

as airports to be stuck in for a few hours, you could do worse.

india for example.

20 hrs is pushing it though.

Its a really nice airport as airports go - big new building with the usual stash of shops/restaurants etc

20 hours will be a bitch in any airport unless they have a lounge you can pay a few quid to go into - not sure if KL has, in fact they dont from memory

you should head on to the city, get yourself a bowl of spicy noodles

I stopped over in Kuala Lumpur for 18-20 hours on the way to New Zealand. Travelled into the city, got a cheap room, slept for 5-6 hours (set the alarm), head out to explore the city for another 5-6 hours and back to the airport for a couple of beers before the next leg of the journey.

Would definitely save the 500 euros if I could.
