LCC Terminal - Air Asia

The need for the LCC Terminal was triggered by the high growth of passenger movements recorded by Malaysia's no frills airline, Air Asia. The LCC Terminal is located about 20 KM from the KLIA Main Terminal Building (MTB). The LCC terminal is specifically designed to suit the Low Cost Carrier (LCC). Air Asia, Asia's leading and largest low fare airline, and its associates Thai Air Asia and Indonesia Air Asia will be the main airline operators at the new Low Cost Carrier Terminal, occupying up to two thirds (44 of 72) of the check in counters. The terminal's facilities include duty free shops, F&B outlets, a money changer and a comprehensive public transportation system all made available on a single level mode of operations.

After checking in you got to walk yourself to the plane. The pathway is quite a distance maybe about 50m. Not a fun thing when is raining even though they do provide umbrellas for you. Not really user friendly for disable and passengers with baby to carry and with hand luggage to look after with.

The LCCT terminal is simple and basic one level building only. The Domestic and International departure entrances are in the same centre hall. You won't miss with the striking MacDonald sign to look for. The check-in counters and departure gates are not far from each other about less than 50m walk. The domestic departure gates on your right and the international on your left once you enter the main departure hall.
