Transit  (KLIA)

International transit

All International passengers, whether arriving or departing, are able to mix freely on the airside of security/immigration/customs. The International areas cover the satellite building (Gates C1-C37) and central hub, Level 4 in the Main building (Gates GG1-10 and H-10) and the Contact Pier.

If you are catching an onward flight at the same Gate grouping you can go straight to the gate on the same level.  G and H Gates are opposite arms of the Contact pier so you may move freely between them on the same level. The same applies to Gates on the 4 arms of the Satellite building.

If your new Gate requires you to move between the Satellite Pier (C Gates) and the Contact Pier (G & H Gates), catch the free aerotrain service which runs regularly between the two buildings. Gates C1-C6.

Most airline Lounges (Airline and other) and a Transit Hotel are located in the Satellite building. They are signposted but if you need assistance the Information Counter is in the centre of the hub.

Both areas (Satellite and main building) offer free internet, clean drinking water fountains and clean toilets. Transit passengers have a number of options to Rest and Relax.  If you’d like to go shopping, both international and domestic travellers have a good range of choices.
