Kuala Lumpur Flights

Merging a bright, modern future with the modest beauty of its past, Kuala Lumpur is a city that appeals to a variety of travellers. Cheap flights to Kuala Lumpur are relatively easy to find, as the mild climate beckons numerous tourists to stroll the Lake Gardens Park, indulge in the exciting nightlife of the Golden Triangle, and find peace at the Buddhist Maha Vihar.

Best time to go to Kuala Lumpur

Peak Season:

If you like to socialise while on holiday, Kuala Lumpur is a great time to visit from December to January, and June to August. Schools let out during these periods, making it easier for visitors to interact with the friendly locals at such places as the Neway karaoke bar, the Old Town Kopitiam cafe, and the Soda Club.

Shoulder Season:

The shoulder season in Kuala Lumpur falls from February to March, then again in September to October. Tourism is thin during the majority of these months, but increases during the KL International Tattoo Show in September and City Day in February. Despite this, these months are great for exploring Chinatown, Zoo Negara, and the Menara KL tower in relative peace.

Off Season:

Inexpensive flights to Kuala Lumpur are easy to find in the months of April, May, and November. Although tourists still hang around during these times, crowds are harder to come by. As the weather is beautiful a good deal of the time, these are excellent months to mingle with fellow tourists at nearby Port Dickson, or spend some time volunteering at SPCA Selangor.

Do you have any tips for my flight to Kuala Lumpur?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Kuala Lumpur holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Kuala Lumpur?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Look out Kuala Lumpur, here you come:

  • Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
