It Really Depends
    by EnvyFX (January, 2012)
Reason for Stay: Connection between flights
Where: Airside
Pros: The Satellite terminal is easily one of the best...
Cons: Low Cost Carrier Terminal looks like a warehouse
I went both terminals and you can see the major differences, The main one is what you say excellent it's futuristic like, clean and a 'cozy' feeling while LCCT is like a garden shed though once you get towards the Departures Gates it's not too bad with some filled spots but i found a good chair spots, I went to a nearby bar to watch the Australian Open which was a small difference.2 people found this review helpful Was this Helpful?
Basically all you need.

Reason for Stay: Connection between flights
Where: Landside
Pros: Good facilities; everything you need; safe
Cons: Occasionally you might come across the odd person who loves to stare
I had a good experience staying at this airport. Being a first timer at this, I had very low expectations airports are meant for you to depart from and arrive to not as temporary forms of accommodation especially not for an unseasoned traveller. However, everything I needed was available and the time I spent in transit was very comfortable. Remember that there are two international airports in KL: The Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and the KL Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT).
I landed at the LCCT and based on the sleepinginairports.net reviews, took a shuttle to KLIA as there was about 28 hours till my next flight out of the country. Shuttle fare (the green bus with yellow strips if in doubt, ask) costs only 2.50 RM about 78 cents USD.
There are three main food areas. The largest one is called Food Garden on the second continued >>18 people found this review helpful Was this Helpful?
Decent enough
by mikktamme (October, 2011)
Reason for Stay: Connection between flights
Where: Landside
Pros: got a decent sleep
Cons: no benches, had to sleep on the ground
I just am finishing a night of lay over in KUala Lumpur LCCT. Arrived here 11pm and flying out 8am.
a. internet works well enough to IM or e-mail or surf the practical web.
b. I did not experience any very high volume announcements during night.
c. the terminal is open all night long
d. the benches are limited but if you have something to put on the ground to make the stony floor a little softer then this worked out for me well.
e. McD, Starbucks and other shopping available. ATM available.
Would be ok to have the same kind of night here again.4 people found this review helpful Was this Helpful?
Thank goodness I came prepared
by Icecandy08 (April, 2011)
Reason for Stay: Early flight departure
Pros: Safe
Cons: You're kicked out of the terminal
I came from manila and flew into KL on a budget plane. I arrived at 11:00pm and my AirAsia flight to Paris was scheduled at 8am the next day. I had a 9 hour layover and since LCCT is far from the city I knew I would end up sleeping in the airport. However, I did not expect that they would ask us to leave the terminal. We ere outside. They locked the airport and people had to sleep outside, on the floor. I positioned myself somewhere between McDonalds and Starbucks. I was thankful that I brought a sarong (blanket-like wrap) and a travel neck pillow. I also had a flat plastic garment bag which I used to cover the floor. Travelers found their own spot in front of closed shops and restaurants. Since I was alone, I used plastic cable locks to secure my luggage (attached them to the trolley). I surrounded myself with the luggage and trolley to continued >>2 people found this review helpful Was this Helpful?
Manageable Overnight Sleep-over
by climbabout (May, 2011)
Reason for Stay: Too cheap for a hotel room
Pros: See below
Cons: See below
I had a 20hour stop over between flights from KL 3pm to 11am 1. I landed and departed from the LCCT terminal.
Information for those planning on spending time there: All stores trade in the Malay currency RM;
Water from Bathroom taps seems acceptable for drinking, otherwise 1.5L water bottles cost RM3 ~ US1;
Power points are plentiful, look for them around the skirting board near most seating areas and near the main ATM hall near the international arrival gate.They take a three prong asian plug so bring an adaptor or buy one for RM50 ~ US18;
Seats are padded and moderately comfortable though all I saw had armrests preventing crossways sleeping;
There is free wifi though the speed is good enough for hotmail but not for any streaming;
The anouncements are quite loud and the lighting is bright in most areas. The airconditioning is o continued >>12 people found this review helpful Was this Helpful?
