When flights on this route arrive late, they're delayed by an average of 1h 59m, so choosing an airline with strong on-time performance can make a difference if you're on a tight schedule.

  • To bypass the long check-in lines, consider using one of the self check-in counters located in the international terminal of Chennai International Airport (MAA).

  • If you need to wrap your luggage before checking in, you'll find the luggage-wrapping services at the check-in area of the international terminal. You can pay for these services using cash, Paytm, credit cards and debit cards.
  • If you haven't exchanged money before arriving at Kuala Lumpur International (KUL), we suggest drawing money from the cash machines located in the arrivals terminal, instead of using bureau de change kiosks. You're likely to get a better exchange rate at the ATMs and pay fewer charges.
