Scoot Now Has Flights To Subang, An Alternative Airport Closer To KL City Centre Than KLIA

Scoot’s flight route from Singapore to Subang 


There are plenty of ways to get from Singapore to KL, from taking a coach to flying out of Seletar Airport. Starting this September, there’s yet another way for Singaporean travellers to get to the Malaysian capital, thanks to the launch of Scoot’s flight route from Singapore to Subang.

The current exchange rate is RM10 = ~S$2.86 as of 19th July 2024. 


Where is Subang & how far is it from Kuala Lumpur?

Subang Jaya is in Selangor, halfway between Kuala Lumpur and Shah Alam. The airport, Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport, is a 30-minute drive from Kuala Lumpur City Centre. Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), on the other hand, is about 50 minutes to an hour away from Kuala Lumpur City Centre.

If you think about it, it’s actually faster to get into KL City Centre if you fly into Subang.


How often are the flights from Singapore to Subang? 


The flights will operate once a day, 7 times a week – making it the perfect alternative for those regularly travelling between KL and Singapore.
