Travellers today are more savvy, with many taking the option of arranging their own itineraries and choosing to self-connect their flights. Self-connect passengers are basically those who travel on two separate tickets to get to their destination, often with different carriers, either to save money or for stopovers along the way.
Kuala Lumpur’s KLIA is ranked among the Top 5 Airports in Asia (coming in at the fifth position) for self-connect passengers. This was revealed in recent data released by global travel search engine Skyscanner. The data showed that self-connections are on the rise, with the average percentage of users choosing to self-connect over taking a flight route with a single carrier increasing to 12.6% last year, from 11.6% the previous year.
