Each terminal serves different airlines, with KLIA primarily handling full-service carriers and KLIA2 catering to low-cost ones. Upon arrival, follow the signs to Immigration, after which you'll find well-marked pickup points. Keep an eye out for the unique Mickey Mouse-shaped information desk in the arrivals area, a local quirk that helps first-timers feel at home quickly.

To reach the city center, travelers typically take the LPT (Lebuh Raya Putrajaya), which connects to several major routes.
