They changed my flight but didn't notify the other carrier. I can't do online check-in and had to wait 30 min to get it all sort out at the counter.

KL’s equatorial climate is hot and humid throughout the year with lots of rain. Daytime temperatures are usually in the 30 degrees Celsius range and nights in the 20s. The relative humidity averages 90 per cent. Although rain is common, it is usually in the form of a quick shower. The exception is the monsoon season, from November through February, with torrential downpours and strong winds along the east coast of Malaysia. June and July usually have the least amount of rain.
Public transport and taxis are the way to go in Kuala Lumpur. The monorail and light rails are both fast and easy to figure out. Take the KL Monorail to get to the main shopping and hotel districts or the Putra LRT to get to Chinatown.
Taxis can be hailed or picked up at stands. Note that calling for a taxi will cost you a surcharge. There is also a surcharge for late-night and early-morning trips. Don’t worry about finding a taxi; there are tons, unless it’s a rush hour or it’s raining. Make sure your driver is clear on your destination, that he knows how to get there and that the meter is turned on.
Driving in Kuala Lumpur is not recommended. There isn’t any space on the road and traffic jams slow rush hour to a crawl.
It’s amazing how much farther away your destination will seem after walking in Kuala Lumpur’s heat and humidity – consider distance before taking a stroll. Traffic will make your trip even slower and crossing the street can scare years off your life. Follow a group of pedestrians and cross with them if you can.
Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) is one of the newest airports in the world.
The KLIA Ekspres is the fastest way of getting downtown; the non-stop journey takes 28 minutes. There’s also the KLIA Transit, a commuter service, which stops at three stations (Bandar Tasik Selatan, Putrajaya and Cyberjaya and Salak Tinggi) and takes 35 minutes.
There are also airport coaches and taxis. There are four types of taxis and limos – budget, premier Limo, super luxury and family service. Coupons for taxis and limos can be purchased at the Airport Limo counters.
Malaysia’s main airport – Kuala Lumpur International – is situated 50km (34 miles) outside Kuala Lumpur. The two-terminal airport was inaugurated in 1998. As part of its “airport in the forest and forest in the airport” concept, it has a rain forest arboretum in the international terminal and forested grounds surrounding the airfield. The airport is the hub for Malaysia Airlines, Malaysia Airlines Cargo and AirAsia.
