KLIA Ekspres

KLIA Ekspres is an airport train service that takes you from KLIA and KLIA2 to KL Sentral train station. It is just like the Airport Express in Hong Kong in getting you from the airport to the city quickly.
The one way ticket for a ride between KLIA/​KLIA2 to KL Sentral and vice versa is RM35 (less than $ 9 US) which is a few dollars cheaper than the Airport Express. If you are going to KL Sentral, make sure to catch the KLIA Ekspres instead of the other airport train service, KLIA Transit. Transit makes numerous stops while Ekspres is non-​stop.
At KL Sentral, you can pay your ticket at the counter or buy it from one of the self-​service kiosks to the side of the counter. Tickets can also be bought online.
The KLIA Ekspres trains run from 5 am in the morning to 1 am the next day. If you have a late night arrival at KLIA, you might or might not be able to catch the last train to KL Sentral. It depends on how quickly you can clear immigration and pick your baggage if you are arriving in KL on an international flight.
The train ride only takes 28 minutes from KLIA and 33 minutes from KLIA2. During peak hours on weekdays, the train runs every 15 minutes. During off-​peak hours which includes the weekends, the wait is 20 minutes. And after midnight, the wait is 30 minutes.
The trains are not as new as the ones in HK or the Narita Express in Tokyo, but they are much nicer than the LRT and well kept. There is a luggage storage area on the train if you don’t want to keep your luggage with you. The train seating is comfortable and there are TV monitors on the train that seem to play the same programming in a loop. There is no assigned seating, so you choose where you want to sit. To pass the time, free Wi-​Fi is available to train passengers on-​board.
I highly recommend KLIA Ekspres. It is the fastest and most comfortable way to get from KLIA to KL. While taking an airport bus is cheaper and taking a taxi is more convenient, there are traffic conditions to consider. It would be better to get a taxi or catch a bus/​train after arriving at KL Sentral.

I used to dread going into downtown KL as the traffic from the airport can be quite bad and it will take at least an hour driving.
The express train is amazing and makes it a breeze to reach downtown KL.
The train runs every 15 – 20 minutes (peak and non-​peak) and you do not need to book it. Just buy the ticket at the counter and wait for the train. It takes about 30 minutes to KL Sentral where you can take taxis to your hotels or regular trains to other parts of Malaysia or the LRT to different areas of KL.
It may be harder to get a seat if your suitcase is big as the overhead rack does not look that big. There is space near the doors for bigger suitcases though so you may want to stand then. If you just have a cabin or duffel bag then it may be easier to grab a seat.
I will definitely be taking this next time I am going into downtown KL.

Amazingly convenient high speed train from KLIA or KLIA2 to KL Sentral near the center of Kuala Lumpur.
I love how clean, quiet, and convenient this train service is. Operating every 15 minutes like clockwork.
Best way into the city from the airport.

Heading to the airport and didn’t want to risk getting stuck in the K.L. traffic, then this’d be your top pick. Fairly comfortable seats and what’s more is onboard wi-​fi connection, and may I say the internet connection that I used was pretty fast too!
Single journey ticket to KLIA2 is priced at RM35, which is even though more expensive than the express buses that you could get at the KL Sentral, but in my opinion definitely worth the extra bucks. Worry free of being late because of the unpredictable or usually predictably bad traffic here!
Ample seats on board and W/​C is available on the train too. Train frequency is high, so you can save the trouble of sitting there bored of waiting for the next train to arrive.
Overall, a highly recommended service!

Getting to and from the airport tends to be a drag in any city… am I right? Spoiler alert: but not in Kuala Lumpur!
An airport located not-​too-​close to the center coupled with nightmarish city traffic is a recipe for astronomical taxi fare. Luckily, the KLIA Ekspres provides safe, reliable, and efficient transportation from the airport to the city center for about $ 20 USD, roundtrip.
What’s more, you can connect to complimentary wi-​fi for the duration of your ride, making those 28 minutes breeze by that much faster.
Pro-​tip: If you purchase your ticket online, make sure you print it out instead of relying on your mobile pass. My bar code wouldn’t scan so I was sent over to a longish queue at customer service so they could print it out on my behalf. Kinda defeated the purpose of purchasing in advance, know what I mean? But really, that’s my only gripe. KLIA Ekspres is a solid service, no doubt.

With this KL Express, it’s probably the most convenient way to get to the airport from town and vice versa. The buses may be cheaper but taking this express train save time and I feel safer on it to be honest.
Its similar to the one in HK and also offers free Wifi is available on board which makes this system more attractive for tourists. Seats are comfortable with ample legroom space and air conditioning so far is good, much needed especially with the warm weather most of the time.
It certainly beats the heavy traffic in jams and takes around 30 mins to get from town to the airports. You can also check in your luggage at KL Sentral on certain airlines, then catching this train to the airport after that makes it more convenient!
Overall, I rate this very highly. It’s reliable and fast!

KLIA Express is probably the cheapest and most efficient way of reaching KLIA airport which is in the middle of nowhere.
It’s very similar to the HK Airport express or the Narita Express, except this train actually has wifi on it so you can surf the interwebz, check in on Unilocal,or write some Unilocal reviews while on the way to the city.

There is two ways to go to KLIA; by bus or by train. I have been going to KLIA by two ways before and I love KLIA express.
The first reason I love KLIA express is because it is faster and more comfortable compared to bus. They promised to reach KLIA in 28 minutes after boarding. Therefore, you can actually take shorter time to reach and don’t need to worry whether the bus will delay and cause you late to check in.
Secondly, KLIA Express has WIFI! I bet it is the pioneer that public transport in Malaysia provides wifi access. They are using YES!, The coverage is good and with very strong connection. I didn’t encounter any disconnection during the whole journey with KLIA Express.
The third one is you can check in your baggage at the KLIA Express! Believe me, you don’t need to worry whether you will miss your check-​in time. As long as you use the service of KLIA Express, you can check in at KLIA Express counter when you reach KL Sentral, and do your baggage drop-​off. Meaning that, KLIA Express just like you have reached the airport and drop off your luggage. So, good thing! You don’t need to carry the heavy baggage all the way to the counter at KLIA anymore. KLIA Express help you to do so~
All in all, I love KLIA Express much much much. It is RM35 for one way, however, with GST now, I am not sure whether they charge more.

I’m a frequent passenger of KLIA Express, the reason I’m tag on KLIA Express is simply because I find it is more reliable in term of punctuality and safety.
Very often I need to catch up my flight during peak hours and I believe you will know how terrible the traffic jams on the road would be if you’re living in KL or Klang Valley. I will never take the risk to go by car or cab during this period. I’m person who rather to reach earlier than rushing later.
It’s very convenient if you’re taking KLIA Express, it’s reach in the airport and you can straight away heading to check in without worry if you can get the parking or still caught in the traffic .
The seats are comfy, there will be a space for you to allocate your luggage. Window glass besides your seat and TV is available.
Some of the airlines company such as AirAsia will sometimes offer 10% discount for KLIA Express if you flying with them or you can also check their official website as there will some promotion on going sometimes. It’s cost MYR 35 for adult and MYR 15 for children taking from KL Sentral to airport.

I was going to go for a trip to Singapore one time and had to meet up with my friends at Putrajaya. As you know, there is only one way to get to Putrajaya which is using the KLIA Express. Even though the name obviously states KLIA, this train does make a few other stops before reaching the airport.
Anyways, I liked it very much. The condition inside the train was nice and cool. The air-​conditioning is perfect, maybe a bit too cold. But it was alright. It was really comfortable inside and unlike the KTM, you don’t see people standing inside the train.
The journey to Putrajaya was swift and time saving. In fact, I reached Putrajaya earlier than I thought. I would definitely ride this train again as the price is reasonable.
