Stop over in KL

[trieu_thai]

The plus one and I have a stop over for 6 hours in KL (ex Sydney), arriving at 2PM. Anyone has any suggestion what to do? Definitely don't want to sit in the lounge for 6 hours....Thanks

Not much other than the lounge I am afraid.

I don't think that's enough time to go to the city. I transited there for 4 hours last month and the lounge did get boring. Next time I would head over to KLIA 2 and explore the shops and food outlets there.

Havent been there for years, but that is an enormous terminal - almost takes 6 hrs to walk up and down

What are you talking about???

It's certainly possible to get the KLIA Ekspres to Sentral for an hour or two. Trains take 28 mins and run every 15 mins at peak times (eg 16:00-22:00). MYR 70 return. Not sure that Sentral is so worth it. But the time to get there (or back) with passport control and airport terminal walking/shuttle trains should be less than 90 mins. You have 6 hours.

Agree with Austman.
KLIA Ekspres to Sentral - should get a view of Petronas Towers coming in (cost is MYR35 each way - so A$12)

Not a massive amount at Sentral itself but a few options
Nu Sentral - Brand new mall. Not the most impressive in KL but includes a Parkson Department Store, H&M and Uniqlo, plus plenty of food outlets
Mai Bar @ Aloft - Aloft hotel connected to Sentral has bar and pool on the 35+ floor with good views to the city
Little India - Just the other side Nu Sentral for some great food

At a pinch you could get the train/ light rail into Bukit Bintang/ KLCC but you are cutting into time.

Other option I would consider is hiring a cab and getting him to drive you to Putrajaya (essentially Canberra) which is a planned government headquarters

Is very different from KL proper

Thanks all

Will be a squeeze to get into Bukit Bintang area with 6 hours, however Sentral is definitely do-able via the train. I guess you could sneak up to the Hilton / Le Meridien pool and go for a quick dip
