LCCT at KL

The Low Cost Carriers Terminal (LCCT) at KL seems to be brighter as compare to 5 months ago when i was there recently. Then I recalled that it was under some renovation then and the "new" terminal is definitely much better and comfortable.



The terminal serves the AirAsia flights in and out of KL. Basically, it has two main areas, namely the domestic and international flights. The domestic flight area has more people and more outlets as compare to the international area. U can find KFC, Mcdonald, Old Town White Coffee, Marrybrown, Coffee Bean, Food Garden food court, Taste of Asia and convenient shops at the terminal. I tried the chicken rice at the Taste of Asia outlet. Not so nice and quite expensive. About S$4.50 per serving.




After check-in at the International Flight counter, the waiting area is also very comfortable , clean and bright. U can do a bit of shopping here: Duty Free Shop, Convenient shop, a cafe and a bookstore. But no TV programmes available. I suggest that you have some food before u check-in as there are more choices outside than at the waiting area.


From the LCCT, visitors can travel to the KL's city area by the public coach to the KL Sentral Station. It takes about 60 minutes to reach KL Sentral Station. It costs MYR$9 per way per person. From KL Sentral, u can then travel to the city area (ie, Bukit Bintang, KLCC, Chinatown etc) by walking to a nearby mono-rail station (not shelter, hopefully it is sheltered in the near future). Pretty convenient though can still be improved.

Of course, i prefer to the "new" LCCT because it is more user-friendly and more services. Foong Pheng observed that there dun seem to have any more Tiger Airways at the LCCT. Maybe the Tiger Airways has moved its operations to the KL International Airport (KLIA). Food for thought - "Things do change to survive. Dun ask so many why and how. "
