Getting Around KUL Airport
Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL) is divided into two main terminals: Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Terminal 1, also known as KLIA Main, is structured with a central Main Terminal Building (MTB) and a separate Satellite Terminal A. The MTB is directly linked to the contact pier, which serves both domestic (prefix A and B gates) and international flights (prefix G and H gates). For international flights that are parked at the Satellite Terminal A, you will need to take a bus from the MTB, as the Aerotrain service is currently suspended.
Terminal 2, also known as KLIA2, caters primarily to low-cost carriers and is significantly larger, with a main terminal connected to multiple satellite piers via a skybridge. This terminal is organized with check-in counters in four islands, marked by letters S to Z, and boarding gates across five piers (J, K, L, P, Q). Piers J and K are for domestic flights, while Piers L, P, and Q handle international traffic. It's important to note that Piers K and L share the same physical structure but operate on different levels for domestic and international flights respectively.
Both terminals offer a variety of services including free Wi-Fi, numerous dining options, shopping areas, and lounge facilities. Terminal 1's Satellite A notably features a collection of high-end boutiques and a natural rainforest center for a relaxing wait. When navigating through these terminals, look out for clear signage and consider using the airport's digital maps available on their official website or mobile app to help guide your way through the extensive facilities.
