Transportation from Sultan Abdul Halim Airport to the City Center
Alor Setar Airport, whose full name is Sultan Abdul Halim Airport, is an intercity airport serving the city of Alor Setar in Malaysia. Passengers using this airport generally transfer to the vehicles going to Langkawi Island and Hat Yai city of Thailand from here. The transportation options from the airport, which receives only four commercial flights a day, to the city center are almost non-existent.
The first thing you should do is ask if the hotel you are staying at has a shuttle service from the airport. Hotels close to the airport usually pick up their customers from the airport with free shuttles.
Your next easiest option is to take one of the taxis at the airport. The distance between Sultan Abdul Halim Airport and the city center is approximately 9 km and it takes 20 minutes by taxi. Do not forget to download the Grab application, which you can use in many countries in the Far East, especially in Malaysia. These applications, which reduce the cash payment process and the risk of being robbed by the taxi driver, are one of your biggest assistants in a trip.
If you are going further from the city center, Anak Bukit train station is only a 5-minute drive from the airport. From here you can transfer to trains to Alor Setar, Gurun, Sungai Petani, Kangar, Arau and Padang Besar.
As another option, you can go to the shuttles of the tours that come to greet their customers and ask if you are going to the city center and if they have any vacancies. Most tour services will have vacant seats and will not say no to excess passengers in exchange for a fee.
Malaysian origin Air Asia Airlines takes minibuses to Hat Yai city of Thailand simultaneously with its own planes. These minibuses, which depart approximately 35 minutes after your plane lands, leave you in Hat Yai approximately two hours later, including passport control. You can reserve these minibuses three days before your journey. If you find a place in the vehicle, you can also get on without a reservation.
Malaysia is a very rich touristic destination in terms of places to see. After landing at Alor Setar Airport, you can rent a car from internationally reliable brands such as Hertz, which has an office here, and you can both go to the city center and visit the sights in Alor Setar. But it is worth remembering that, since Malaysia is a former British colony, traffic flows on the left, that is, on the opposite side for us. There is no problem in renting a car with a Turkish driver's license.
