PICTURE this: All your accommodation has been booked, an itinerary covering all points of interest has been planned to the exact minute, and transportation around the foreign city or town has been sorted.
All that’s left is to travel to that dream destination for your long-awaited vacation.
Yet, the journey does not begin only upon reaching your final stop, but the moment you step into KL International Airport (KLIA).
Here, every store, food and beverage outlet and amenity has been meticulously curated to provide passengers with an experience that enhances their overall travel adventure – starting with diverse dining and retail delights.
Culinary mosaic
KLIA’s culinary offerings mirror the diversity of its travellers. From local Malaysian delicacies to international flavours, there’s bound to be something for every palette, craving and dietary preferences, including vegetarian and vegan.
KLIA is now home to exclusive F&B offerings, such as Jamie Oliver’s restaurant making its Malaysian debut at the main terminal building, while Din by Din Tai Fung marked its first airport appearance globally.
Additionally, catch the first KyoChon located in an airport here at Terminal 1 as well as the first Costa Coffee café in Malaysia at Terminal 2.
Amidst this delightful culinary array, KLIA not only brings exclusive international flavors but also takes great pride in celebrating and preserving the rich heritage of Malaysia through its unique collaborations and partnerships.
Kitchen by OpenHouse has a partnership with Jabatan Warisan Negara to save and preserve almost extinct recipes – offering not only a delightful culinary experience but also actively contributing to the preservation of Malaysia’s rich heritage.
Kitchen brings these traditional flavours to the public, creating a unique and authentic dining experience that reflects the heart and soul of Malaysia.
Discover economical, delectable meals where affordability does not impact the quality of meals, making dining at KLIA an affordable and enjoyable treat for all passengers.
For those mindful of their travel expenses, the myriad of quality options at KLIA Terminal 1’s Food Garden and Terminal 2’s Urban Food Court beckon.
For travellers in the mood for a little more ambiance accompanying your meal, KLIA also has a range of eateries that offers just that.
For example, Plaza Premium Group’s Flight Club Signature has a modern and comfy interior, offering the weary traveller a reprieve to relax, dining on a comforting meal while awaiting boarding.
