How to get there
There are very few direct flights to Langkawi Island. Most flights arrive from Kuala Lumpur, with a few from Penang, Singapore and Finland. Most of the big brand airlines fly into Kuala Lumpur, but Air Asia also offer a budget airline service from Australia. Their aircraft, prices and service are excellent, but obviously do not offer the frills that the mainline carriers provide. From the UK, I can also recommend Malaysian Airlines who have never let me down.
The flight from Kuala Lumpur to Langkawi takes around an hour. Yet again both Air Asia and Malaysian Airlines provide a great service with numerous flights a day.
From Langkawi airport, the apartment is a 20 minute journey by taxi, which will cost 24 RM. The price is fixed, as are many of the rates for popular taxi routes on the island.

Getting around
There are no public buses on the island, but taxi's are plentiful and good value. I would recommend hiring a car for your holiday (or at least part of it) - exploration of Langkawi is great fun, and the road system is fine. The nearest shops to the apartment are a ten minute walk away, and the centre of Kuah is fifteen minutes.
