How to Get to Pulau Langkawi


Getting to Langkawi Island


Being a famous and perfect destination of vacation, Langkawi is easily accessible via the air transportation. Most of the Airlines schedule frequent flights to Langkawi International Airport.

For instance, Malaysia Airlines (MAS) has direct flight to Langkawi on a daily basis. Besides, for those who would like to go for the affordable low-cost airlines, AirAsia and Firefly are some of the choices available as they provide direct flight to the island in a frequent manner as well.

1. We recommend you to book Malaysia Airlines (MAS) as it is very convenient to depart directly from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) to Langkawi International Airport with a relatively reasonable ticket price. You only need to head to the domestic terminal in KLIA in order to check in. Please make sure that there is at least a few hours gap for your connecting flight to Langkawi.

2. For a rather cheaper flight ticket to Langkawi, the next best option is the budget carrier AirAsia. However you need to travel to its own terminal Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) which is 20km in distance from KLIA. You may take a taxi or shuttle bus from KLIA to LCCT with an approximate journey of about 30-40 minutes and you need to check in an hour prior to the departure time and the allocated free luggage weight is 15kg per passenger. However, there is a 20% chance that your flight might be delayed or canceled
(it's a low cost airline, remember?).
