FAQs - booking Malaysia flights

  • Which is the best airport to access Malaysia from the USA?

    Malaysia boasts of a number of top-tier international airports. Therefore, the choice you make on the airport to use will depend on several factors.

  • First of all, where in Malaysia are you planning to visit?

    For example, if going on a hike on Mount Kinabalu is among your top priorities, then it would be best to use the Sandakan (SDK) airport. If you choose the wrong airport, you might have to connect to your desired destination through another flight, a ferry, etc.

  • How do I get from the Airport to the city center?

    Malaysia has a well-functioning transport system that not only connects the two parts of the country but also makes it easy to access different areas of each part. In the Kuala Lumpur International Airport, for example, there are quite a number of taxis to help you navigate. There are two types of taxis here, the airport taxis and the metered taxis. Airport taxis run their operations through a coupon system accessible through the respective counters. On the other hand, metered taxis will charge you according to the distance you are traveling. Additionally, you can get from airports to city centers using public transport such as buses.

  • I am traveling to Malaysia to visit the Perhentian Islands, where should I fly to?

    Located in Besut district in Terengganu, Malaysia, the islands are a top tourist attraction. If this is your destination, the closest airport to the islands is Khota Bharu. The airport is close to Kuala Besut jetty, a place where you will get a ferry to the islands. The best thing about traveling with the ferry from here is that the prices are affordable; you won’t have to break your budget.

  • Is it possible for travelers to shop before boarding a trip from Salt Lake City International Airport to Malaysia?

    Yes. Visitors arriving in Malaysia from the USA might consider flying out of SLC Airport in case they intend to shop before continuing to Malaysia. The close proximity of several upscale malls to this airport will improve your ability to shop. One of the most appealing shopping areas close to SLC Airport is The Gateway Shopping Center, which offers reasonably priced goods and services.

  • Which nearby Malaysian cities does BKI Airport serve?

    Visitors arriving in Malaysia through BKI Airport can quickly get to a number of nearby cities. Donggongon, Kota Kinabalu, Putatan, and Kinarut are a few of the nearby cities that BKI Airport serves. The centers of these cities are roughly 109 miles from BKI. To travel to these locations from BKI Airport, you can use a taxi, a rental car, or a bus.

  • Are there any nearby hotels that provide complimentary airport shuttle service to travelers arriving at BKI Airport?

    You shouldn't worry if you intend to stay at a hotel that offers a free airport shuttle after arriving at BKI Airport. Near the BKI Airport, many hotels offer complimentary airport services. Consider reserving a room in a hotel that features a free airport shuttle if you'd like to avoid the hassle of paying for taxis to get to your preferred hotel.

  • Which airport is most frequently chosen by passengers going from the USA to Malaysia?

    SLC Airport is the favored departure airport for the majority of passengers flying to Malaysia from the USA. Although other airports, such as Denver (DEN) and Las Vegas (LAS) Airports, also provide equivalent flights from the USA to Malaysia, the majority of tourists prefer departing from the SLC Airport due to its ease of access to public transportation services, which lowers their travel expenditures.

  • How does KAYAK find such low prices on flights from the United States to Malaysia?

    KAYAK is a travel search engine. That means we look across the web to find the best prices we can find for our users. With over 2 billion flight queries processed yearly, we are able to display a variety of prices and options on flights from the United States to Malaysia.

  • How does KAYAK's flight Price Forecast tool help me choose the right time to buy my flight ticket from the United States to Malaysia?

    KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool uses historical data to determine whether the price for a flight from the United States to Malaysia is likely to change within 7 days, so travelers know whether to wait or book now.

  • What is the Hacker Fare option on flights from the United States to Malaysia?

    Hacker Fares allow you to combine one-way tickets in order to save you money over a traditional round-trip ticket. You could then fly from the United States to Malaysia with an airline and back with another airline.

  • What is KAYAK's "flexible dates" feature and why should I care when looking for a flight from the United States to Malaysia?

    Sometimes travel dates aren't set in stone. If your preferred travel dates have some wiggle room, flexible dates will show you all the options when flying from the United States to Malaysia up to 3 days before/after your preferred dates. You can then pick the flights that suit you best.

  • What is the cheapest day to fly to Malaysia?

    Based on KAYAK data, the cheapest day to fly to Malaysia is Wednesday where round-trip tickets can be as cheap as $373. On the other hand, the most expensive day to fly is Saturday, where round-trip prices are $694 on average.

Top tips for finding cheap flights to Malaysia

  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest Malaysia flight deals.
  • Malaysia is a country split into two distinct parts, Peninsular Malaysia and Malaysian Borneo. It is important for you to first do extra research of where you are visiting since the two parts aren't connected by land.Those visiting Peninsular Malaysia can use airports such as Kuala Lumpur International Airport, while those visiting Malaysian Borneo can use Kota Kinabalu.
  • There are easy immigration processes for travelers visiting Malaysia compared to other Southeast Asian countries. You won't need a visa to travel to Malaysia for a stay of fewer than 90 days.
  • Malaysia has an array of international airports. They include Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Kota Kinabalu International Airport, and Penang International Airport. The main airport here is the Kuala Lumpur International Airport, a major aviation hub in the region. It is approximately 30 miles from the capital, Kuala Lumpur.
  • More than half of the population here is Muslim, and therefore Ramadan is widely observed. Even though there is no strict observation of Muslim rules (Malaysia is not very conservative), traveling to Malaysia around this time might cost you more.
  • It is possible to find direct flights from Washington to Malaysia. However, flying to an airport such as Kota Kinabalu might require two or more stops. You can weigh your options and book a flight through KAYAK.
  • Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) provides a range of handicapped-accessible amenities for passengers flying from the USA to Malaysia. Each of the parking garages at this airport's terminals has spots and amenities specifically for those with disabilities.
  • Anyone looking to unwind while waiting for a trip from the USA to Malaysia should stop by any of the Salt Lake City International Airport’s lounges. Delta Sky Club is one of the lounges that is highly appreciated by travelers traveling in economy classes from Salt Lake City International Airport to Malaysia. Distinctive class passengers can consider making a stop in the Centurion lounge.
  • Travelers who enjoy going on shopping excursions should consider flying into Kota Kinabalu International Airport (BKI) when they visit Malaysia. This airport is close to several high-end shopping centers that frequently have discounted sales offers, which makes shopping in Malaysia simple.
  • Consider booking a hotel near BKI Airport if your flight from the US to Malaysia is scheduled to arrive late at night. The Napzone KKIA by Sovotel Hotels is one of the highly convenient lodging options for travelers from BKI Airport. You may conveniently reach this hotel within three minutes on foot.

Their was $200 charge for 2nd luggage, airplane very new and flight smooth. Flight time seem faster then Asian stoping Korea then china.

Flight was late boarding. United crew were not friendly and cordial unlike the ANA crew.

Seat was broken. Check in was not possible until we reached the gate, by then we were separated.

The food was not great; but I don’t expect much from airline food. However, the staff was incredible! I had gotten to the gate when I realized I had left my computer at the security checkpoint! I told a staff member and she said, “well, you will miss this flight if you go back to get it” It was a long way from the gate. I asked if I might get on the next flight. She sent for another staff member, and he took me to the gate desk. He found an open seat, and said,”okay, go run to get your computer, I will get you a new boarding pass.” I rran back, retrieved my computer, and returned to the gate. It was closed, but I found the gate nearby where the next ANA flight was leaving. Another staff member was ready for me, and printed me a new pass, and even made sure I still had an aisle seat that I requested! I got in line and continued my trip. These people are amazing, helpful, and friendly. My trip could have been ruined, or postponed at a great expense, but they saved the day! 5 stars!!!!

I originally thought I was booking with ANA airlines and didn't see "operated by United" until the day of. I even thought the United check-in update was a scam so ended up checking in 3 hours before the flight, causing separate seating and uncomfortable middle seats.

Very disappointing. Our flight was delayed for almost 6 hours with the lost time disrupting our travel plans. United should have known that any delay (approximately and hour) triggered a no-fly/work because according to the FAA they had to many flight hours. After the mechanical delay (approximately an hour) we had to wait for a fresh crew change. Seems to me that United could have anticipated this incident. Again, a very disappointing travel experience.

Excellent crew, food and comfort from LA to Narita. Flight from Narita to Manila was just okay, Food and comfort needs to improve. The business class was not comfortable.

Lots of leg room in premium. Departed exactly on time. Friendly crew.

Cabin Crew was excellent. They took care of everything requested. Flight was good

I was charged $200 for a 2nd checked bag, which is unreasonably high and feels like price gouging. Other than that the experience was excellent.

They ran out of the second choice of food was stuck with fish

I wish there was a little more leg room between the seats. The recline was good and seats overall were comfortable. I also didn’t like the 2-4-2 configuration.

toilets could be cleaned more frequently, everything else was pretty good.

The flight crew was phenominal! We couldn't have asked for any better. They were experienced professionals.

Wish the seat don’t have restrictions, can’t fully insert backpack all the way inside.

Wish the underseat compartment don’t have a restriction, can fit a personal item such as backpack fully like most Boeing

Best airline I think. No problems with anything. Crew were great, no problems with the airline food and entertainment and a smooth flight.

I have difficulties to book wheelchair for my parents returned flight

Crew and service excellent. 2 hour delay for takeoff. SQ app showed flight on time.

Horrendous. We upgraded and they took the money but cancelled one of our tickets. The recline action didn’t work on the seats for the flight from Singapore to London, pre booked meals but they seemed to have disappeared as well.. Phone customer service was horrendous. Took 5 phone calls and no fix. Craig at the airport was the only one who seemed to be able to get the ticket back.

when i ask for help all the crew members had a look like why are you calling me? very terse and rude.

Good service and food. However, we paid over $400 for aisle seats for my disabled husband and me, and we were given window and middle seats. This was dangerous for our health condition on such a long flight. We needed to stand up and walk around frequently, but we were stuck in our seats. Please give us a refund of our seat payment since you chose not to honor our request.

Very bad Instead 22 hour it take me more that 35 hour to arrive from Los Angeles to Phuket and they changed my flight in Hong Kong to Shanghai china and in order to get my bag I was forced to vet china visa entrry

There could have been more options on the entertainment section Nothing was available for non English speaking passengers

I didn't have much experience with Cathay Pacific airlines because of delay and missed connections, the bulk of the trip was on Japan Airlines.

Flight delayed first from bad weather, then after boarding there was a problem with the plane. We had to get off and onto another plane...connections were missed and the trip took an additional 10 hours!! Pre-paid seatting was not honored due ro last minute carrier changes. Most of the trip was on Japan Airline.

Flight from Hong Kong to LAX was late, the plane was grubby, overcrowded and hot. I recently flew Starlux and that was a MUCH better experience.

Crew and food were great in-flight. We had a 2 hour delay, no communication, and just got left in a limbo. The crew arrived late and they were running checkouts on the plane (which is important, but why not doing it earlier?) Cathay did nothing to about the delay, and a lot of people missed their connection flights. I had to run and got stuck at checkpoint, which made my entire trip very unpleasant. Got to my gate 5 mins prior to them closing it.

My flight was suppose to be at 7:45pm to fly but it didnt fly out until 8:55 to dallas so then all of my other flights was late and delay ihad to wait at the airport for extra 14 hours to be able to get on a different plane

There were delays at boarding and landing. These events resulted in a tight transfer time in HK. Poor signage for transfers. Finally, lost luggage at final destination.

ticket agent lady wás very helpful , she arranged wheel chair for my elderly mother

Didn't make the flight because the first leg of my flight was canceled and the next leg was already booked.

My flight was canceled a few hours before boarding. I was rebooked on Copa airlines and missed an important meeting .

Good quick flight on a small but comfortable plane. I'm 6'3 and had plenty of space.

Experience was great - no complaints. Took off on time, landed early. Got to the gate relatively quickly - took a little bit of extra time to deplane but nothing excessive.

Business class seats felt very cramped compared to other airlines.

Economy plus was so cramped I could not use my laptop. It was beyond bad.

OK, we were delayed and had to de plane and reboard.

United is one airline which regardless of how many separate United tickets in existence, if one flight breaks down, the airline will take care of all the flights.

Both our flights were delayed. Almost didn’t get in the second flight. Staff was rude to the bone.

It was peaceful excited We enjoyed it always Turkish peaceful excited

Istanbul to Lahore flight was less than standard for international business class cabins. Seat did not were not flat and it did not operate easily. I had to push buttons hard repeatedly to operate the seat. I was in 5A seat

IAH to Istanbul was outstanding across the board. The flight from Istanbul to Male was good, not great.

the cabin was kept too hot. couldn't sleep as a result

It was an amazing experience. Flight crew's service, hospitality, and the food were phenomenal. I don't think I'd want to try any other airline company after this. I would definitely recommend to friends and family. Thank you Turkish Airlines !

Business Class pods are horrible. If you're petite, you might be able to sleep on the uncomfortable seat and bed. Crew and food are fantastic.

I have travelled many times on Turkish, but they always board at least 30-40 minutes past the stated time. If informed properly, passengers can choose to spend more time in the .lounge instead of standing around by the gate waiting to board. The new lounge at DFW was a big disappointment. The aircraft itself was a shock. In the past I have flown this sector with regular business class seating configuration of 1-2-1, The 2-3-2 seating is very disappointing after paying such high prices for tickets. The DFW to Istanbul segment was slightly better, but the Istanbul to Delhi segment was no better than premium economy. I will try to travel more on airlines which give business class passengers more value for their money.

Good overall. Seat spacing a bit tight between IST and ISB.

Excellent staff despite some trying passenger situations. Very impressed with their good attitudes and kindness.

Crew were unfriendly, touch screen for movies didn't work very well, seats were tight and uncomfortable
