About flights to Malaysia
Overview
Malaysia offers UK travellers a rich mix of cultures, cuisines and landscapes — the soaring towers of Kuala Lumpur, the heritage streets of Penang, rainforests in Borneo and the beaches of Langkawi. It's also a superb stopover on the way to Australasia. Comparing every fare in one place makes finding the right flight quick and simple.
Best time to fly to Malaysia
Malaysia is tropical and warm all year, with rain possible at any time. The west coast (Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Langkawi) is driest from around December to February, while the east coast and Borneo are best from March to October. Fares rise over Christmas and school holidays, so travelling in quieter weeks helps. Check the price charts on this page for the cheapest dates.
Main gateway cities & airports
The main gateway is Kuala Lumpur (KUL), with Penang (PEN), Langkawi (LGK), Kota Kinabalu (BKI) in Borneo and Kuching (KCH) also served.
Airlines and routes
Malaysia Airlines flies direct from London to Kuala Lumpur in around 13 hours, with AirAsia X also operating long-haul services. For connecting options — often better value — Singapore Airlines, Qatar Airways, Emirates, Etihad Airways and Turkish Airlines serve Malaysia via their hubs. Compare carriers for your exact dates for the best fare.
Popular places to visit in Malaysia
- Kuala Lumpur: the Petronas Towers, markets and street food.
- Penang (George Town): heritage architecture and famous cuisine.
- Langkawi: beaches, cable car and island hopping.
- Borneo (Sabah & Sarawak): rainforest, orangutans and Mount Kinabalu.
- Malacca: a colourful, history-rich UNESCO city.
Top tips for finding cheap flights to Malaysia
- Book a few months ahead for the best value on long-haul fares.
- Consider a stopover fare if you're continuing to Australia or Asia.
- Compare direct flights against one-stop routes via the Gulf or Singapore.
- Be flexible with your dates — midweek departures are often cheaper.
Travel essentials
- Visa: UK travellers can enter Malaysia visa-free for up to 90 days as tourists; a Malaysia Digital Arrival Card is required before entry.
- Currency: the Malaysian ringgit (MYR).
Baggage & hand-luggage allowance for flights to Malaysia
Your allowance to Malaysia depends on the airline and the fare you book. The table below shows typical long-haul allowances so you know roughly what to expect — always confirm the exact limits with your airline before you fly.
| Fare type | Hand baggage | Checked baggage |
|---|---|---|
| Basic / Light economy | 1 small under-seat bag | Usually none — add for a fee |
| Standard economy | 1 cabin bag + 1 personal item | Typically 1 × 23 kg |
| Premium economy | 1–2 cabin bags + personal item | Typically 2 × 23 kg |
| Business / First | 2 cabin bags + personal item | Typically 2 × 32 kg |
Indicative only. Allowances vary by airline, route and fare — always check your airline's baggage policy.
Packing & baggage tips
- Full-service carriers (e.g. British Airways, Turkish Airlines, KLM) usually include a checked bag on long-haul economy fares; basic/low-cost fares often don't.
- Cabin (hand) bag size is commonly around 56 × 45 × 25 cm — confirm your airline's limit before you pack.
- Liquids in hand luggage must be in containers of 100 ml or less, inside one clear resealable bag.
- Weigh your bags at home — airport excess-baggage fees are far higher than pre-booked allowances.
- Extra or heavier bags are almost always cheaper added online in advance than at the airport.
