Malaysia's main International Airport is at Sepang, 50km (31mi) south
of KL. Most tourists either fly into Sepang or arrive overland from
Thailand or Singapore. However, Penang also has international flights, and Kuching in Sarawak and Tawau in Sabah have flights to/from Kalimantan. There is a departure tax of 40.00 on international flights,
but if you buy your ticket in Malaysia the tax is already included in the
ticket price. Departure tax for flights to Singapore and Brunei is
only 5.00.

There are five road border crossings between Malaysia and Thailand
(two on the west coast, one in the centre and two on the east coast). There is also a west-coast rail link. To get to/from Singapore, you can cross the causeway at Johor Bahru, catch a ferry or take the train.
There are three ferry services between Malaysia and Indonesia
(Penang-Medan, Melaka-Dumai and, in East Malaysia,
Tawau-Tarakan). There's also a difficult road link between Sarawak
and Kalimantan.

Air

Malaysian Airline System (MAS) is the main domestic airline, servicing both the peninsula and Sabah and Sarawak. It's cheaper to fly to East Malaysia from Johor Bahru than from KL. In East Malaysia, flying is often the only quick way to get around. Note that flights in East Malaysia are frequently fully booked during school holidays and are prone to delays due to the vagaries of the weather. From KLIA, visitors are able to get to the heart of KL by bus, limousine taxi, KLIA Ekspres or rent-a-car services available.

Buses

are an inexpensive way to travel in Malaysia. Most, if not all buses in Kuala Lumpur (KL) are air-conditioned but there are still non-air-conditioned buses in smaller towns around the country. Buses plying routes within towns and cities typically charge fares according to the distance covered while interstate buses have fixed rates.

Taxis

in major cities are usually fitted with meters. In KL, the rate is currently RM2 for the first two kilometres and 10 sen for every subsequent 200 metres. However, a surcharge of 50% will be levied between midnight and 6am. Interstate and smaller town taxis charge a fixed rate and it? best to settle on a price before getting into the taxi.

Rail

Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) has an impressive railway network across Malaysia, one that travels the breadth and width of the Peninsula, providing the country with regular passenger services. These tracks take travellers across the Peninsula to neighbouring countries like Thailand in the north and Singapore in the south.

KTM Komuter, a suburban railway service that runs outside Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya. This fully air-conditioned service provides visitors with comfortable and speedy inter-city travel within the country.

STAR and Putra Light Rail Transit (LRT) efficient, comfortable and congestion-free services that make getting around KL a breeze. Transits between the KTMB train, Komuter and LRTs can be done at KL Sentral Malaysia, primary rail transportation hub.

Sea

There are several ports of entry in Malaysia, namely Penang, Port Klang, Kuantan, Kuching and Kota Kinabalu. Fast boats and small river crafts are a popular way of getting about in Sabah and Sarawak especially to the more isolated settlements. There are also sea cruises and river-cruises run by local tour agents. For sea travel within the country there are services available from Port Klang (Selangor) to Kuantan (Pahang) and to Sabah or Sarawak. Besides that, there are also holiday cruises that take passengers to neighbouring countries.
