Cheapest time to fly to Kuala Lumpur

Right now, June is looking like the best time to score the cheapest fares. Flights during that window are often lighter on the wallet and lighter on the crowds too.

KL’s got two moods: sticky-hot and just-plain-hot. The priciest time to go tends to be between December and March when everyone’s flying in for holidays or heading out to escape theirs. The off-peak months — like May, June, or September — tend to feel calmer, price-wise and people-wise.

Where is the airport in Kuala Lumpur?

KLIA (Kuala Lumpur International Airport) is located in Sepang, about 45 kilometres south of the city. Getting to the centre takes around 45 minutes to an hour. 

There’s no shortage of ways to get into town:

• KLIA Ekspres – Quickest option. The train takes about 28 minutes to KL Sentral. No stops, no messing around.
• Airport taxis – Booked at counters inside. Fixed prices, clean cars, zero need to haggle.
• Grab – KL’s rideshare fave. Usually cheaper than taxis and pretty easy to use if you’ve got data.
• Airport buses – Cheapest way in. Can take longer (up to 1.5 hours), but you’ll save a few bucks.
• Car hire – Handy if you’re planning to visit beyond KL itself.

You can sort most of this ahead through Traveloka, so it’s handled before you even touch down.
