When you land in the country you will receive a visa upon arrival, valid for up to 90 days.

  • Can I get a direct flight to Malaysia?

    There are no non-stop flights to Malaysia when travelling from Canada, so your flight will include at least one layover.

Top tips for finding a cheap flight out of Canada

  • Before you land in Malaysia, you will need to fill out an Immigration Card. You will be required to give this card to an Immigration Officer upon arrival, along with your passport. If you plan to travel between Sabah and Sarawak, you will need a passport and valid travel documentation.
  • At the beginning of February, Malaysians celebrate the Chinese New Year. Due to these festivities, you can expect increased travel costs and limited ticket availability. Consider booking flights to Malaysia later in the month.
  • If you want to visit Borneo, you should fly into the Malaysian state of Sabah. Kota Kinabalu International Airport (BKI) services this area and is 8 km southwest of Sabah’s city centre. From Canada, you can book a flight with a layover in the U.S.A., China or South Korea. Alternatively, you can fly into Brunei International Airport (BWN), which is just across the border from Borneo.
  • If you are hoping to travel to the Batu Caves in Selangor, book a flight into Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL). Just over a 1h drive away from the airport, the limestone caves are only 23min from the centre of Kuala Lumpur.
  • To be well positioned for exploring the eastern areas of Malaysia, book a flight into Kuching International Airport (KCH) which services the region of Sarawak. From the airport, the Bako National Park is just a 39min drive away.
  • If you want to visit the west of Malaysia, you will need to book a domestic flight from Kuala Lumpur International Airport or Penang International Airport (PEN) to Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Airport (KUA) in Kuantan.
  • If you want to visit the south of Malaysia, fly into Senai International Airport (JHB) in Johor. In addition to being close to the border of Singapore, this airport is less than 30min away from LEGOLAND Malaysia.

Previous flight with Cathay from LAX was delayed thus missing this flight to KL by 12 hours. This in turn missed other travel arrangements from KL. They did provide overnight accommodation in Hong Kong.

Previous flight with Cathay from LAX was delayed thus missing this flight to KL by 12 hours. This in turn missed other travel arrangements from KL. They did provide overnight accommodation in Hong Kong.

Cathay has always been great. Even allowed some leniency on my baggage weight. I believe they are also on the more leg room side of airlines.

Missed our flight with Cathay due to late Westjet plane and chaotic Toronto airport. Had to clear customs get bags and re check bags in an hour. Did not make it got lost not clear signage with bag drop off. West jet only allowed 1 checked bag for this international fluid. Cathay checked my second bag for free.

Boarding on any airline is a hot mess. Load your pivilaged passengers, then back to front. Back to front.

The flight experience was good for a long flight over the pole, but it got my wife to the Far East in time.

Problems with entertainment system eventually rectified. Cabin crew attentive and polite but a bit absent minded when it came to remembering requests, salt, sugar etc.

We flew economy light. We did not want to check bags and we had free 1 bag, but just had back packs with small personal item. Try as we may could only get bags down to 17lbs each. So we put 2 lbs from one bag into other and checked it. I think if someone has a checked bag allowance and chose not to use it , it would benefit both parties to bump carry on weight up to the next level of 22lbs or 10kgs. Just a thought.

Trip was fine. My only complaint was that when the passenger in front of me reclined her seat (which was, in essence, the whole flight except landing and take-off,) it was uncomfortably claustrophobic for me and very difficult for my husband to get in and out of his window seat. Also uncomfortable to watch the entertainment because the screen was right in your face.

Very friendly and accommodating staff. Food was great. Lots of movies and tv shows to choose from. Highly recommend.

Cathay much better than other options Imigration was a total mess on arrival in KL but not Cathay s fault
