Early Morning Jetbus from KL TBS (Terminal Bersepadu Selatan) to KLIA Terminals 1 & 2 Bus Review
Jetbus is a 24-hour bus service from Kuala Lumpur Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS) to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Terminals 1 and 2, with buses departing in the wee hours of the morning at 12am, 3am, and 4.30am. As there was nothing much to do in KL yet, I headed to KLIA by Jetbus for a joyride at 4.30am.
Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS)
The ticket counters are easily located at the main departure hall.
All counters are Centralized Ticketing Service (CTS) counters selling tickets for all buses to all destinations. Head over to any counter with the shortest queue to buy your ticket.
I had bought my ticket in advance on BusOnlineTicket, so I needed to get my boarding pass from the counter too.

My Jetbus departed from Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS) on time at 4.30am.

Most passengers alighted at KLIA Terminal 2. Some passengers also got off mistakenly, blindly following the crowd, and then re-boarding back to continue the journey to KLIA Terminal 1.

My Jetbus arrived at KLIA Terminal 1 at 5.31am, making it a journey of 1 hour and 1 minute.
Many buses use KLIA Terminal 1 as the terminating point as it has a proper terminal and berths for buses to layover at.
