The airline has warned that heavy traffic and road disruptions are expected during the Petronas Grand Prix of Malaysia 2026, which will be hosted at the Petronas Sepang International Circuit. While access to KLIA remains fully open, the airline advises passengers to keep an eye on real-time traffic updates from the police, explore alternative routes if needed, and contemplate using the KLIA Ekspres train service for timely arrival. For international travelers, it is recommended to arrive at the airport three hours before the scheduled departure, while domestic travelers should arrive at least two hours prior. Check-in counters for both domestic and international flights close 60 minutes before the departure time.
