Travel from Kepong to KLIA by MRT

KLIA.Info  »  Next Destination (Local)  »  Kepong

Kepong is a well-established township in the northern part of Kuala Lumpur, located approximately 15-20 km from the city centre. Known for its mature residential neighbourhoods, commercial areas, and proximity to green spaces such as Kepong Metropolitan Park and the Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM), Kepong also offers a vibrant food scene and convenient local amenities. The township borders areas such as Segambut, Sungai Buloh, and Selayang, making it a well-connected part of the Klang Valley.

Rail services in Kepong are primarily served by the KTM Komuter network, with Kepong Sentral and Kepong stations providing regular commuter connections on the Port Klang Line to Kuala Lumpur and surrounding towns. Kepong Sentral also offers convenient access to the MRT Putrajaya Line via the adjacent Kepong Baru station, expanding travel options for longer journeys.

For travellers heading to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), the most practical rail route combines the MRT Putrajaya Line with the KLIA Transit airport train. Passengers can board the MRT Putrajaya Line at Kepong Baru or other nearby stations and travel southbound toward Putrajaya Sentral. At Putrajaya Sentral, passengers transfer within the same complex to the KLIA Transit service, which provides a fast and direct connection to both KLIA Terminal 1 and Terminal 2.

The total journey time from Kepong to KLIA using this route is approximately 1 to 1.5 hours, depending on the boarding station, transfer times, and train schedules. Fares are calculated in two segments: the MRT journey is distance-based, while the KLIA Transit segment from Putrajaya Sentral to KLIA Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 is fixed. Tickets for the MRT and KLIA Transit must be purchased separately, though advance purchase of KLIA Transit tickets via the official app or website can provide convenience and occasional discounts.

Alternatively, some travellers may choose to take the KTM Komuter or other connecting services to KL Sentral before boarding the KLIA Ekspres or KLIA Transit, though this may involve additional transfers compared with the direct MRT → KLIA Transit route. For passengers carrying heavy luggage or seeking a simpler journey, ride-hailing services or buses to Putrajaya Sentral or KL Sentral are also viable options. With these well-connected rail and road options, Kepong serves as a practical and convenient departure point for travellers heading to Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
