It's not my usual practice to introduce you of airport. Our "new" airport KLIA2 has been in service for close to 10 years now, it's not qualify as new anymore. And kudos to the transport minister asking to rebrand it as Terminal 2. Think about it, who wants to be number 2?
It's international airport, why do you have to label the number to it? If you have read one of my post on Pavilion Shopping Gallery, same faith being labeled 2 and now coming 3 🤣 I hope people start to ditch the idea of labelling buildings. It's such an embarrassment to be called 2 and or above. (apologize for the blury thumbnail photo, my new phone doesn't like speed shots)
Arrival hall for domestic flight and international are actually from the same waiting area. If you got in from the domestic entrance, do not worry nor back out. Please proceed further, you'll still be able to meet with your arrivees.
Luggage mover is widely available, help yourself and grab one. Bunch of eateries and cellphone sim card and accessories counter around the arrival hall.
There's a huge food court immediately to the left once you get the luggage trolley. You'll be thinking, how convenient? Yes, this is how the commercial NLP designed to lure you in, to eat something before you really "arrive" Kuala Lumpur. Trust me, Kuala Lumpur International Airport is far from Kuala Lumpur 🤣 I'm not trying to stop you from eating there, ifs perfectly fine if you're hungry and urgently needed something to feed yourself so you not die. But if you're looking for the true color of Malaysia, GTFO from the airport.
Also, exchange rate inside the arrival hall can be outrageous. If you didn't pay attention, you'll lose a huge chunk everytime you make a change. To prevent being a victim, try to at least change some currency before you arrive here, to at least able to pay and get your ass of the airport.
Old town White Coffee is one of our significant local Cafe chain stall. The moment you step out of the jnternaltion arrival gate, this yellow sign board is there already. Try to refrain from getting it. I know you're hungry, it's just not worth to pay an extra dollars for something you can get immediately put of the madonalds.
This is important. Malaysia phone number is cheap to obtain. All you gotta do is use your passport to sign up, you will get a local phone line and be able to make calls.
If you must eat, and If you're cheap like me, let's go KFC. Trust me, you can still order a breakfast set meal at less than RM10. The best part is, if you're an aviation enthusiast, take a closer look at the right side of the restaurant.
Here's where a clever boy like me, that I washed my hand and figured there are more tables and seatings. One can sit here and enjoy their KFC and observing airplane rolling on and out the terminals.
Here's a view from the window. The tint make the color looks somewhat dull, but that's what it is. Of they don't tint it, it will be too hot in the afternoon.
Over here, you can sit down with a peace of mind. My little princess came back from Japan trip and started showcasing her "trophies".
I'm glad I got the original Dragonball comic books. I wish my brother did not sell off our collection back then. But I'm the one who moved out of the house, who can I blame?
