Cheap flights from London Heathrow Airport to Malaysia from £279

There are two airports in Malaysia served by flights from London Heathrow. These are Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL) and Penang International Airport (PEN). Kuala Lumpur is the largest and busiest airport in Malaysia and one of the busiest in Southeast Asia. It serves the city of Kuala Lumpur and the rest of the country by connecting flights to Malaysia’s other airports or by ground transportation. Penang Airport is equally busy, although smaller. It is located on the island of Penang. Both airports are very well resourced for passengers, with all the modern amenities you might require. Similarly, London Heathrow is the UK’s largest airport and connects with almost every part of the world. It has excellent local and national transport links and offers all necessary amenities.

Passengers travelling on a UK passport won’t need a visa for Malaysia for trips up to three months. You will need at least six months validity on your passport from the date of entry. If you intend to stay longer, you have to arrange this in advance before leaving the UK. The Malaysian immigration authorities are very strict on visa dates. It is advised that even a few days of overstay can result in fines, detention and deportation to the UK. This could result in not being able to re-enter the country without official permission. Malaysia doesn't recognise dual nationality; so, if you are planning on travelling with passports from two different countries, it's worth noting that you may be refused entry if this becomes known to the authorities.
