How to get from Kuala Lumpur to Langkawi?

The fastest, most convenient, and often cheapest way to get from Kuala Lumpur to Langkawi is by plane. This is our main advice for most travelers.

By plane: The flight takes about 1 hour. Flights are operated almost every hour by airlines AirAsia, Malaysia Airlines, Firefly, and Batik Air. Tickets can be found from 50 Malaysian ringgit (about 20-30 dollars), especially if booked in advance. You can depart from two airports: the main KLIA/KLIA2 or Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (Subang). Keep in mind that if you arrive at KLIA from abroad, you will need time to change terminals for a connecting domestic flight to Langkawi (which usually departs from KLIA2).

Alternative route (bus + ferry): This option takes 10-12 hours and makes sense only if you want to make a land journey with stops. You need to take a bus to Kuala Kedah or Kuala Perlis, and from there transfer to a ferry to Langkawi (1.5-2 hours travel time). The cost of bus + ferry may be comparable to a plane ticket, but you will spend a whole day.
