Getting around to Sarawak

Most people fly to Kuching. Both Malaysia Airlines and Air Asia fly in from Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru, Kota Kinabalu, Pontianak, Indonesia or Bandar Seri Begawan. There are flights out of KL from KL International Airport or Subang Airport taking about 1 hour 40 minutes. The best flight to save the day and time is at 8:30 a.m. from Subang. There are also direct flights from Singapore and Hong Kong. If you are coming from Singapore, it is best to fly from Senai Airport in Johor Bahru where you can get a cheaper flight. To get to Senai, take a bus from Singapore to Johor Bahru and from Larkin Bus Stand, direct buses to the airport. Furthermore, regular flights connect Kuching to other major towns. Charter planes and helicopters are also available.

On arrival at the Kuching International Airport, visitors may take a taxi or rent a car to go into Kuching, which usually takes about 25 minutes, although rush hour traffic can extend this to 45 minutes.
