Common questions about travel to Langkawi

These are some of the most common questions people ask before booking a trip to Langkawi, why not see if something you're wondering is here?

No. There are currently no direct flights from the UK to Langkawi. Most itineraries from the UK require at least one stop (common connection points are Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Dubai or Doha).
You fly into Langkawi International Airport (LGK) at Padang Matsirat, which is the island’s main airport. Or you can fly into nearby hubs (Kuala Lumpur [KUL] or Penang [PEN]) and connect by a short domestic flight or take a ferry from the mainland. Most travellers arrive directly at LGK when available, but many journeys are routed via Kuala Lumpur or Penang.
Aim to arrive about 90-120 minutes before a domestic departure. 1 hour can work if you’ve checked in online and only have carry-on. However, 90-120 minutes gives a comfortable margin for check-in, security and any busy periods. International departures to or from Langkawi allow more time (about 2-3 hours).
To enter Langkawi (as part of Malaysia) you generally need a valid passport (many countries require at least six months’ validity). Depending on your nationality, you may be visa-exempt for short tourist stays. All foreign visitors must complete the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) online within the required timeframe before arrival. Always confirm visa rules for your nationality before booking.
Times vary by flight type. Domestic arrivals/departures are usually quick (often 15-45 minutes from landing to exit). International arrivals can take longer because of immigration and baggage. During busy periods it can take up to 1-2 hours for the whole process.
Yes. Langkawi International Airport has immigration and customs for international arrivals. So travellers flying into LGK from overseas will pass through passport control. For domestic flights to Langkawi, such as Kuala Lumpur, Penang, etc) there is no immigration check.
Langkawi has one main passenger terminal (Langkawi International Airport, LGK) that handles domestic and international flights to Langkawi.
Most travellers enjoy Langkawi for 3-5 days for a relaxed beach-and-sightseeing break. If you want to include more island hopping, diving, and a slower pace, 7-10 days is ideal. Short weekend trips (2–3 days) are possible but feel rushed. We recommend around 4 days as a practical minimum to see what most of Langkawi has to offer .

How to Find the Cheapest Flights to Langkawi

In searching the cheap flights to Langkawi, September normally appears as the cheapest month of the year on the fare trackers with the shoulder and off-peak seasons proving the most profitable. Flexibility is an important factor, so mid-week flights are often cheaper than weekend flights and it is possible to book a few weeks in advance (4-6 weeks on international routes and even earlier in peak times) to secure a lower price. Rather than those occasional direct flights, you can oftentimes save more by routing via Kuala Lumpur (M), Penang or Singapore on a single ticket. Along with low-cost carriers such as AirAsia and Scoot operating a host of feeder flights and flash sales.

When to Visit Langkawi

The best time to visit Langkawi is during November-April (dry season). This is when the weather is at its sunniest, seas are calm and island activities like beach days, island-hopping and snorkelling are at their best. December to February would be the best time to go as a beach lover and a snorkeler; you are sure to get the most reliable sun and the crystal clear water, but the prices and the number of visitors will be high. Shoulder months (March-April and June-August) are when you should target good weather and less people and increased value. You'll still get plenty of dry spells and usually find cheaper fares and less crowded beaches.

 

Budget travellers and deal hunters also can visit during the wet months (May-October). These are when the rates are lower and the scenery is green. However, you will have to cope with sudden heavy rains and sometimes rough waves that will toss the water activities. Families and honeymooners seeking consistently sunny days need to go during the dry season. Whereas adventure travellers who can afford to get wet during the off-peak season will have better deals and greener views. Whichever way, plan your trips to Langkawi ahead of time so you arrive when you want to.
