Airport to Accommodation
The Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) is located 45 kilometers south of Kuala Lumpur city center or 60 kilometers south of Taman Tun Dr. Ismail (Venue).
- KLIA Express is the best way to commute from the airport to right into the city center at KL Sentral station. From there you need to transit to MyRapid LRT/MRT services to reach Taman Tun Dr. Ismail (TTDI) MRT Station.
- You may need to purchase a KLIA Express ticket before getting into the station (https://www.kliaekspres.com/products-fares/klia-transit/#transit_standard_tickets)
- Other services such as buses and taxis are also available.
Accommodation to Venue
The venue is between 8-40 minutes away from many of our recommended hotels, depending on your choice of accommodation and transportation.
- The closest train station is MRT TTDI Station (Station No.10, MRT Kajang Line); 5 minutes walking distance from the venue (https://goo.gl/maps/9rLmP2UDa9U5K5YE6).
- E-Hailing apps are also available.

Moving around the City
Train
The best way to commute around Kuala Lumpur is the train as most attractions are located nearby. There are 4 types of trains available:
- LRT (MyRapid) - Ampang Line, Sri Petaling Line & Kelana Jaya Line
- MRT (MyRapid) - Kajang Line & Putrajaya Line
- Monorail (MyRapid)
- Commuter Line (KTM Komuter)
- For MyRapid services, you only need to use 1 token for transit from point A to point B without needing to repurchase when transferring lines or trains.
- KTM Komuter is a good way to commute outside of Kuala Lumpur depending on your destination (some locations are closer to their stations).
- The last train is around 11 pm at the main city center stations.
- To make things easy, get a Touch N' Go card. This card allows easy access to all bus and train services.
- Use the MyRapid PULSE app to plan your journey.
Bus & Taxis
Some locations need to use additional services to reach the destination and usually, buses and taxis are available at the train stations.
- At some locations, you'll need to use the BRT line. This is only in limited locations such as Sunway Lagoon (https://myrapid.com.my/bus-train/rapid-kl/brt/).
- To make things easy, get a Touch N' Go card. This card allows easy access to all bus and train services.
- Use the MyRapid PULSE app to plan your journey.
For transit buses from the airport, you may need to get a ticket from the ticket counter at the terminal or by using the Red Bus app (https://www.redbus.my/).
- There are 2 drop-off locations, but we recommend you stop at KL Sentral.
- Make sure your pick-up location is the same as where you land; either KLIA 1 (Main International Terminal) or KLIA 2 (Low-Cost Terminal).
