3 Your responsibilities
3.1 Make sure you allow enough time for your journey
- If you are checking-in at either KLIA or KL CAT, your airline or travel agent will tell you the minimum check-in time – the time by which you have to be at their check-in desk at KLIA or at KL CAT.
- If you check-in at KL CAT, you should catch the first available KLIA Ekspres train departing after you have checked-in to ensure that you reach KLIA with time to board your flight. We recommend that you should allow at least 90 minutes to complete your journey from KL CAT to your aircraft boarding gate, to avoid missing your flight.
- If you intend to check-in at KLIA, you should allow adequate time to get from KL CAT to the check-in desk at KLIA. We recommend that you should board the train at KL CAT at least 40 minutes prior to the time you need to be at the check-in desk at KLIA for this.
- Please always remember that there may be queues at check-in desks during busy periods and you should make allowances for this.
3.2 Please check tickets and change at time of issue
When you buy a ticket, please make sure that it is for the journey you wanted and that you have received the correct change. If possible, you should draw any apparent errors to the attention of the staff at that time. Otherwise, whoever sold you the ticket will need reasonable proof that an error was made before putting it right.
3.3 Make sure you are on the correct train and that you get off at the right station
It is your responsibility to ensure that you have boarded the correct train and that you get off at the right station. Notwithstanding the availability of signages and announcements, you should enquire at the Ticket Counter if you are unsure. If you board the wrong train or get off at the wrong station, you will be required to buy a new ticket for the travelled sector.
