Hi and salam to you all, since it’s still on SYAWAL mood I would like to wish  you guys "SELAMAT HARI RAYA MAAF ZAHIR DAN BATIN “:) it’s still not too late right?? Before that I’m Syamin izzaiysh would like to share about our attractions in Malaysia. One of the attractions in Malaysia is KLIA, because to me KLIA is a famous destination among tourist. Ouh yea,  before that if they wanna off too flies somewhere far they have to go to the airport right? So let me share more about KLIA to you all.

KLIA is stands for Kuala Lumpur International Airport. The idea to build this airport is our 4^th prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohammad. He is” FATHER OF MODERNIZATION” and was designed by a Japanese architect named Kisho Kurokawa. KLIA is Malaysia’s mainly international airport and is also one of the major airports of South East Asia, giving it huge, even multinational, catchment area. The airport is in the Sepang district of Southern Selangor state. KLIA’s construction cost RM 8.5 billion or US$ 3.5 billion.

The airport currently handle 35 million passengers and 1.2 million tones of cargo a year. KLIA was rancked the 14^th busiest airport in the world by international passenger traffic, and is the 5^th busiest international airport in Asia. The airport is operated by Malaysia Airport (MAHB) Sepang Sdn Bhd and is the major hub of Malaysia Airlines, MASkargo, Airasia X.

Apart from that, you can find the facilities such as Wireless internet (Wifi) is provided free of charge. The terminal also has prayer rooms, showers and massage service. Various lounge areas are provided, some including children's play areas and movie lounge, broadcasting movie and sport channels such as Star Movies. 

KLIA can be reached by KLIA Express and KLIA transit train services. KLIA express provide a non stop train service to the KL City Air Terminal which has an IATA designation XKL, part of the Kuala Lumpur Sentral transportation hub in Kuala Lumpur. The non stop trip between Kuala Lumpur and KLIA is 57 kilometers and takes exactly 28 minutes. Another important feature at KLIA is the Aerotrain. The Aerotrain is completely automated and shuttles passengers between the main terminal building and satellite building. There are many benefits that the Aerotrain offers such as the short journey time, simplicity and fail-safe operation, and resistance against breakdown.

For the transportation at the KLIA, they are provided the airport taxis and airport limousines. The taxis and limousines are readily available at the taxi counters. They run from airport itself to destination in klang valley and greater klang  valley. But using the public transport is much more easier, affordable and systematic such as bus and train. The cost of using public transport is more cheaper.

Near the KLIA, there also provide the accommodation such as Tune Hotel for tourist spend their nights before they off to flies. So that they can save their time to travelling for a long hours in the car. It also one of the sophisticated and modern airport in the region.
