Hmm, that's super peak hours in downtown of KL and Bukit Bintang area, would recommend you to take KLIA express from airport to KL central, then take LRT from KL central to Ampang Park station. I would avoid taxi. If you are stuck in the traffic around that time, you might only be in time for supper with friends, haha=)
Of course, immigration/baggage might delay me a bit as well - what time does rush hour die down? I can't believe the LRT is much fun at peak times...

The LRT would be busy, but the frequency would be high, so not a big problem actually. Just be aware of your belongings, it's the same rules to be obeyed when travelling at any underground or whatsoever in every corner of the earth=)

How hard is it to switch from KLIA expres to LRT at KL Sentral? I originally thinking of just getting taxi from KL sentral to BB, since i have luggage. How much walk is it?

Hi, tomy77, how many of you are traveling from KLIA to Westin KL hotel? KLIA express is kinda expensive if you are not rushing. It cost 35MYR per person and you need go from LCCT to KLIA by shuttle or taxi for the KLIA express, it would take you another 20 to 30 minutes.. However, it wouldn't be hard to change from KLIA express to LRT at KL sentral, they are in walking distance, just follow the signs or ask the people around=)
If you are traveling in a huge group of people, you might also wanna consider having shuttle directly to your hotel provided by this company : http://www.starwira.com/
It costs you MYR18 per person all the way from KLIA to your hotel.
On what day do you arrive? If you are arriving on Friday, Saturday or Sunday, the traffic at night would be very heavy. If you are arriving on weekdays, it should be fine after 8pm I would say=)
Do report back on the traffic condition once you get back please, your information is highly appreciated=) Hopefully the bus shuttle company has some 'magic route' to avoid the traffic=)
Regards=)

My family will be arriving early in the morning in LCCT. Not sure yet how they going.
I thought it's RM12.5 from LCCT to KL Sentral?
Which includes free shuttle bus from LCCT to KLIA (then KLIA express).
http://www.kliaekspres.com/erlsb/LCC...3/Default.aspx
I'll be sure to let them know also about that bus shuttle option.
I'll be coming in later by myself, and actually i think i'll be arriving in KLIA instead. I figure the train is faster for me.
edit: I'll be coming in weekday.
Thanks for all the info.
I'll do some more research as well.

If you are talking about fastest than it's definitely KLIA express + LRT, but if you are taking about cheapest then you might wanna take the shuttle bus from KLIA to KL sentral then take the LRT to the station near to your hotel.

You're welcome. Regarding what time your should leave the hotel for your flight at 13:30. I think it's better for you to leave your hotel at 10:00 or latest by 10:30 maybe. KLIA is huge, you might take some time to locate yourself once getting in. There're a lot of shops, restaurants, fast food etc in the airport, so I guess you won't get bored=)
Do kindly report back about your experience getting transport from/to KLIA, it's highly appreciated=) Thanks=)
