Recently a new Low-Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) departure hall has been opened just to cater the aggressive expansion of Air Asia needs. According to news, the new hall can accommodate 3,200 passengers compared to 600 at the old one.

I would like to walk through the new looks here briefly. It is remained the same for luggage check in part. After this, passengers have to walk to the new departure hall, just follow the sign board of T1-T16 (terminal). There is a Marrybrown restaurant beside the entrance. After this, passengers will reach to custom at 1st the floor as shown in the figures below

One good thing about the new LCCT departure hall is that there is a dedicated smoking room for smoke users. It can reduce the risk of second hand smoke.

The other good thing about the LCCT is that multi-languages sign boards are used. It really reflects Malaysia as a multi-racial country and is respectful to different races. Furthermore it reduces hassle for those do not know English or Malay.
