KLIA Immigration Wait Times Beyond 1 hour...beware

This is a warning to passengers flying into KLIA 1 or KLIA 2; the immigration lines for foreigners have been so long and so bad the last month that wait times to clear immigration can take up to 2 hours so be aware especially if you are booking connecting flights and onward journey's at KLIA 2 on a different airline.

I was in the baggage collection office for Malaysia Airlines and a lot of passengers were looking for bags that were no longer on the carousel belts (2 hours) and were livid they were going to miss connecting flights on Air Asia at the KLIA 2 terminal or HAD already missed flights.

The long wait lines were also happening in the domestic terminal for passengers switching to international flights so it's happening all over.

Long wait lines as well in the international departure immigration counters so do not expect to turn up 1 hour 20 minutes before a flight to check in, clear immigration and be at the departure gate on time especially if you do not have an APEC card or are a non Malaysian.

Beware.
