How to get to KLIA: Cars and KLIA Parking

Getting to KLIA (Kuala Lumpur International Airport) by car

You can drive to KLIA via the Kuala Lumpur Seremban Highway, exiting at Nilai Banting Highway before you reach Nilai if you are coming from Kuala Lumpur, and after Nilai if you are coming from Seremban. At some point, you will have to turn left to KLIA. There should be road signs to guide you, signs with image of an airplane.

You can also get to KLIA by car via the North-South Central Link/KLIA Expressway (ELITE). This is a bit more complicated as entry into this Expressway will depend on which part of Kuala Lumpur or Petaling Jaya you are coming from. You can enter the North-South Central Link/KLIA Expressway from the North Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE), the Federal Highway at Batu Tiga (near Shah Alam), or from Subang Jaya-USJ (United Subang Jaya) "backbone" road, but this is a bit difficult to describe. Anyway, if you enter Subang Jaya from the Federal Highway and proceed straight without turning left or right, eventually you will come to a T-junction, and at this T-junction, you will have to turn right, than a very short distance further, turn left to enter the North-South Central Link/KLIA Expressway.

Travel time from Kuala Lumpur will be approximately 1 hour. A map showing all the roads leading to KLIA will be drafted and added later to help guide you.
