KLIA Ekspres is a non-stop high-speed train service connecting the Kuala Lumpur International Airport to KL Sentral Railway Station. The service was launched on 14 April, 2002. Originally serving two station, KLIA Ekspres today serves three stations when the line was extended to the new KLIA2 low-cost carrier terminal on 1 May 2013. The KLIA Ekspres trains can achieve a top speed of 175 kph and can cover the 57-km distance between KLIA and KL Sentral in 28 minutes. The trains run on 1435 mm Standard gauge using the four-car Desiro ET 425 M Electric Multiple Unit rolling stock from Siemens AG. There are eight sets of KLIA Express trains in service.

At KL Sentral, tickets for the KLIA Ekspres can be purchased at the KL City Air Terminal.

The fare for a journey from KL Sentral to KLIA or KLIA2 is RM35 for a one-way journey and double that for a return trip. The fare is the same whether you are going to/or from KLIA or KLIA 2. If you have to travel between KLIA and KLIA2, you can purchase a RM1 ticket for that short journey.

The KL Ekspres ticket, once purchased, is valid for up to three months, so passengers may buy the tickets for a future ride. At the KL City Air Terminal, passengers on Malaysia Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Emirates Airlines, Etihad Airways and Royal Brunei Airlines may also check in their luggage on boarding the KL Ekspres (this is not available to those opting to take the KLIA transit). The train stops at KLIA and then proceed to KLIA2.

Frequent travellers can purchase the EasyCard. For ten trips, they get 1 trip for free. The EasyCard is available at RM350 and is valid for one year.

Fare

The fare for the KLIA Express is RM55.00 each way as of 1 January, 2016.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
