Peak Season:
Kuala Lumpur is Malaysia’s capital city and a fascinating place to book flight tickets for a holiday. Various cultures, including Malay, Chinese, Indian, have inhabited the city over the years and are reflected in the architecture which is a mix of modern and historical buildings. The best example of postmodern architecture is the Petronas Towers, twin skyscrapers with an all glass shell that stretch 450 metres above the skyline. Travellers arriving on cheap flights to Kuala Lumpur at any time of year will encounter hot, humid weather, the temperature stays at a steady 28C-32C all year round. But the modern, air-conditioned buildings and retail stores make shopping a pleasant experience. Bukit Bintang, Central Market, Chinatown and Little India are also popular areas for shoppers to pick up bargains and souvenirs. Peak periods for Kuala Lumpur are the Malaysian school holidays that fall in early April, early August and mid-November to early January. Thaipusam, a key Hindu thanksgiving festival celebrated between mid-January and mid-February, attracts over one million travellers and locals each year. Book your flight to Kuala Lumpur well in advance for the best deals at this time.
Off Season:
Kuala Lumpur doesn’t really have an off season, though it does have a monsoon season from November to February which heralds torrential downpours and strong winds along the east coast. Although it can rain heavily at any time of year, many visitors prefer to avoid the wetter months of March and April, and from September to November.

If weather is an important factor for your trip to Kuala Lumpur, use this chart to help with planning. For those seeking warmer temperatures, April is the ideal time of year to visit, when temperatures reach an average of 28.0 C. Travellers hoping to avoid the cold should look outside of January, when temperatures are typically at their lowest (around 27.0 C).
June and July are considered the less rainy months and therefore a good time to book cheap flights to Kuala Lumpur. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t come prepared for periodical showers and thunderstorms though, these tend to occur in the morning and late afternoon. Light cotton clothing with long sleeves, a hat and sunglasses are a must to protect from sunburn while sightseeing.

Flight took off a hour late due to electrical problems. The space between the seats felt like the tightest ever. When the person in front reclines their seat, they are in your lap and you cant even get up to go to the bathroom. I had to ask everyone in my aisle to get up and exit and I had to climb over the seats to exit. The stewards almost never came by to pick up trash. We were told the alcohol would be served after the meal but they never came back through and offered it. Most international flights offer a warm cloth in the morning, not this flight. No interactions with staff except during meal service, otherwise they were nowhere to be found. When they were around, they were very nice, but service was definitely lacking.
