I flew to Bali from Australia last month.
I spent three hours in the LCCT which is too long.
We arrived from Australia at the LCCT. There are no airbridges at the LCCT, so we had to walk down the steps and across the tarmac. There is no transit lounge, so we had to go through Malaysian Immigration and Customs. I grabbed a free trolley for my luggage and bought a litre of Gordons Gin in KL Duty Free for 48 Ringgits.
Next, I took a long walk to Departures which involves leaving the LCCT and going back in again. Before you pass into the Departures area, there are various fast food restaurants. Above the entrance to the Departures area is the Departures Board where I worked out the location of my Air Asia Checkin Gate for my flight to Bali. Because of the liquids policy, I had to put my duty free alcohol in my checked in luggage and Air Asia only allows 15 kg of checked in luggage before you have to pay for excess baggage.
I took another walk to Malaysian Immigration to leave the country. From there, I went to the Air Asia Departure Gate and waited. The atmosphere is like a train station with rows of seats facing a series of locked glass doors. Eventually, the Air Asia fellow opened one of the glass doors and we walked across the tarmac to the steps of the plane to Bali.
