Opened in 1998, Kuala Lumpur International Airport has quickly gained a reputation as an efficient, friendly and pleasant start to any international journey.

The airport was voted to have the World’s Best Immigration Service in the 2013 Skytrax World Airport Awards. Qatar Airways flights from Kuala Lumpur connect to destinations all over the world, making this an important international hub and a key part of our network of departure points in the Asia-Pacific region.

Transportation and parking

Kuala Lumpur International Airport has an extensive network of ground transport options, including various bus routes to and from the capital, around the airport itself.

A choice of train options are also available, with non-stop KLIA Ekspres trains running every 15-20 minutes, while KLIA Transit trains also provide a regular service. Note that tickets are not interchangeable between the two services. There are two main car parks offering 11,442 spaces, with a long-term parking lot located at Block A.

Arriving at Kuala Lumpur International Airport

International flights, including those with Qatar Airways, depart from the main Terminal (the smaller, older KLIA2 is used mainly for internal flights).

There is a variety of check-in methods available for passengers, including an online service and an advance baggage check-in, where you can check your bags up to eight hours in advance of your flight. The Plaza Premium Lounge is open to all customers, and there are also private lounges that can be rented by the hour.

Facilities and amenities

Kuala Lumpur International Airport has plenty of facilities to offer, including baby-changing areas, quiet rooms, prayer rooms and a massage centre to help passengers relax.

A number of retail outlets provide travel essentials, as well as high-end luxury goods and duty-free purchases. A choice of restaurants, eateries and cafés provide everything from light snacks and drinks to more substantial meals.

One of Berlin’s 96 districts, Tegel is best known as the location for Berlin’s main international airport. Flights to Berlin with Qatar Airways arrive here, opening up the heart of Germany to visitors.

Journey a little further into Berlin and you’ll quickly discover that this city is a patchwork of individual districts, each with their own very distinctive personality. While Tegel is relatively relaxed and laid back, the centre of Berlin is vibrant and energetic, with a wealth of cultural entertainment, unique attractions and a very warm German welcome.

Tourist attractions

In Tegel itself you’ll find the rather fine Tegel Palace (also known as Humboldt Palace), originally a 16th century hunting lodge that has also gone through various transformations including some time as a sanatorium. Tegel has plenty of natural beauty of its own too, including Lake Tegel and Berlin’s oldest tree, the wonderfully named ‘Fat Maria’.

Once you head a little further into Berlin itself you have a greater selection of monuments and attractions to explore. From the iconic Brandenburg Gate in the centre of the city, to the poignant Berlin Wall memorial, Berlin is awash with modern and classical attractions.

It also has a huge number of museums and galleries, with the Pergamon-Museum, Altes Museum and the Bode-Museum all clustered in one small area. Another group of museums and cultural buildings can be found at Kulturforum, close to Potsdamer Platz. Because there are so many excellent museums in the city, the best way to get the most from your trip is to buy a museum pass, which will give you access to most of them.

Travel Considerations

Flights to Berlin with Qatar Airways land at Berlin Tegel Airport. Visa restrictions for entry into the country will depend on your country of origin, length of stay and whether your trip is for business or pleasure. Before you fly to Berlin please check the visa and passport requirements.
