By comparison, fly SQ and check-in online, and you can get door to door in two hours if the stars are aligned right. Fly another airline that requires checking in in person 40 min before
and miss a train, and you can still manage it in under three.
With some planning, you could select a coach company that drops you off near (or at) the hotel you are staying. With the Air Asia flight, apart from having to check-in at least an hour before departure, you also need to take a bus from LCCT to Sentral (if you are not taking a taxi), and from there a taxi to your hotel.
But if you take any other airline, you can connect to Sentral smoothly with KLIA Ekspres, and if you're smart enough to stay at Hilton/Le Meridien, that's all you need to do.
