KL City Air Terminal is a terminal within KL Sentral for passengers boarding flights at Kuala Lumpur International Airport. This "virtual extension" to KLIA is recognised by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), and is assigned the code XKL.

The KL City Air Terminal opened to the public on 14 April 2002. It is used in conjunction with the KLIA Ekspres high-speed train service. Passengers departing from KLIA may purchase the KLIA Ekspres ticket and check in their luggage at the KL City Air Terminal. Presently (April 2015), city check-in facilities are only available for passengers flying Malaysia Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Emirates Airlines, Etihad Airways and Royal Brunei Airlines.

KLIA Ekspress tickets are valid for three months from date of purchase, and so may be purchased ahead of time. Passengers must allow a minimum of 2 hours between their departure from KL City Air Terminal to their flight departure time in KLIA.

About this website



Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
