Departure: Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL)

Flights from Kuala Lumpur to Penang leave from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL), serving Kuala Lumpur - kuala Lumpur is the capital of Malaysia, a skyline of the Petronas Towers and the KL Tower over Bukit Bintang and the old colonial quarter; Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL) lies about 55 km south at Sepang, with the KLIA Ekspres train and the North-South Expressway linking it to the city. Plan to be at the airport about two hours before an international departure and ninety minutes before a domestic one; earlier at peak times. Online check-in opens 24 to 48 hours before and we send the link with your ticket. Getting to the airport: The KLIA Ekspres reaches KL Sentral in under half an hour and is excellent for a light traveller; from Sentral a hotel in KLCC or Bukit Bintang still needs a taxi or the monorail with bags, and Genting or Putrajaya are road journeys, which is why families book door to door.

• Keep the passport or ID used for booking with the e-ticket - names must match exactly
• Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
• Haqqi Tours can provide a private transfer from your accommodation in Kuala Lumpur to Kuala Lumpur International Airport
• Just ask about the terminal and fast-track options at Kuala Lumpur International Airport

Arrival: Penang International Airport (PEN) and getting into Penang

You arrive at Penang International Airport (PEN). Public buses, ride-hailing and taxis cover the island, the ferry links George Town with Penang Sentral in Butterworth, and ETS trains run from Butterworth to Kuala Lumpur in about 4 to 4.5 hours; flights reach Kuala Lumpur in about an hour and Langkawi in about 35 minutes. A private car saves time with luggage and on the long north-coast and bridge routes. If you would rather not think about it, we book a private transfer from the airport to your hotel in Penang, with the driver tracking the flight in case it is late.

Many travellers continue from Penang to somewhere else. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Kuala Lumpur to Penang flight

Baggage is the item that most often changes the real cost of a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Penang. Full-service fares generally include a checked bag and a cabin bag; low-cost fares start with a small cabin bag and add the rest. We tell you the allowance of the fare we send, and whether adding a suitcase at booking is cheaper than at the airport (it almost always is). Seats can be selected on most airlines for a fee or free at check-in; in economy and business the differences are space, meals and flexibility.

• Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request
• Business class: bigger seat, meal, lounge, priority boarding - we send the cost beside economy
• Cabin bag on every fare; checked bag included on full-service fares, optional on low-cost ones
• Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you

Flying with children, families and groups from Kuala Lumpur to Penang

Families fly the Kuala Lumpur to Penang route with us every week. Infants under two travel on a lap at a small fare; children have a seat and a child fare where the carrier offers one; pushchairs are checked free at the gate on most airlines. We seat the family together, order children's meals where they exist and choose a departure time that suits nap and bedtime. For groups, we book the seats in one reservation and ask the airline for a group fare where the numbers justify it.

Things to do in Penang when you land

Penang is the food island of Malaysia, with George Town's heritage streets and street art, Penang Hill and the beaches. The reasons passengers fly from Kuala Lumpur to Penang include George Town's heritage streets and clan houses, Penang Hill and its funicular, the Kek Lok Si temple, the Kapitan Keling Mosque and Fort Cornwallis and the Esplanade. For the first meal, try mee sotong, spicy squid noodles, pasembur, Indian-Muslim salad with peanut sauce and roti canai with dhal.

If you want the days in Penang organised - a driver, a guide, timed entry tickets - we do that too. Mention it on WhatsApp.

December to March is the driest and most comfortable period; September and October are typically the wettest months, and Chinese New Year, school holidays and long weekends bring heavy traffic around George Town and the bridges.

How much is a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Penang?

"How much is the Kuala Lumpur to Penang flight?" is the question we get most, and the honest answer is that it moves every day. Low fares open months ahead and disappear as seats sell; peak seasons, school holidays and the most convenient departure times cost more; a fare with a checked bag and a flexible ticket cost more than a hand-luggage-only seat. Haqqi Tours provides the current cost for your travel date within minutes of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.

What the price we send includes: the ticket in the fare class you chose, the taxes and airport charges, the baggage that fare carries, and our service - comparing the airlines, booking, sending the e-ticket and helping if the flight changes. We tell you clearly if a bag or a seat costs extra on that fare.

Cheapest flight from Kuala Lumpur to Penang: how to pay less

The cheapest flight from Kuala Lumpur to Penang is usually booked early, flown mid-week and chosen with the baggage you actually need. These are the rules our booking desk applies on every booking:

• Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are normally cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which frequently carry the lowest fares
• Let us know if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot
• Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag
• Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day
• Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we look up

When you complete the form, mention if you can move your dates. We scan the fares around them and send the cheapest Kuala Lumpur to Penang flight first, then the alternatives.
