KLIA Advice Needed

Hi,

I am soon to be flying through KLIA and I have to take a plane from the 'Satellite Terminal'.

Question is this, I will be arriving in the Main terminal and have 90 mins to connect.

Is this enough time, even if I have checked luggage I need to collect from my inbound and re-check for my next flight?

or

If first option is a no-no, will I have enough time if I only take hand luggage?

Thanks for any advice.

I understand that by "Satellite Terminal " you are talking about LCC Terminal ?

It takes 20 minutes by taxi , or 35 by bus. And I'm talking about evening hours.

If your first plane gonna be 20 minutes late, you will not have enough time

Sorry, I mean 'terminal A' apparently, not the LCC terminal.

Yes, you will have enough time to collect your bags and check in. Better to have hand luggage to save time. It is all in klia building so should not be a problem. Should get your boarding pass before arriving at klia, less hectic.

Can you try asking if you can check through your luggage to your final destination? Saves some hassle of re-checking in. Either case you'll have enough time.

Satellite terminal is not LLC terminal. Satellite Terminal A is accessible from the Main terminal via Aerotrain

And aerotrain runs every 3-5 minutes and takes about that much time between terminals.

The main terminal is relatively small.
