KLIA Medan 
The Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA for regulars) is probably one of the nicest and most pleasant airports in the world. It has indeed been rated the best in its class. I had the pleasure to pass in January during my trip to Indonesia.
The terminal has a unique feature that I really impressed the presence of trees close to the two terminals. I've never seen it in any airport. It must also be said that architecture is magnificent.
Huge metal pillars supporting the inclined concrete vaults, which creates a wide dynamic space, limited by huge glass panels, also inclined, forming the building envelope. The feeling of space is very nice and very generous natural lighting. More effective planning is remarkable because we did not walk a lot (unlike most major airports). The two terminals (quite distant) are connected by two electric trains fast and silent. The shops, many are well appointed. In addition, the formalities for entering Malaysia are ultra-fast. Not even need a visa for Canadians.
As I was to spend the night during my transit to Medan, I had booked a room at the posh Pan Pacific Hotel, in the immediate vicinity of the airport. Again tremendous efficiency. We can already register in the lobby of baggage, and from there take a shuttle (small electric cart) that leads directly, via a glazed walkway in the hotel lobby. The hotel is classified as the best airport hotels in the world and we understand why. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable and enjoy wireless internet access and a flat screen TV with large dimensions. And the service is impeccable.
This brief stop in Malaysia was therefore a pleasant surprise and a real discovery of modern amenities and well planned. I would go back willingly.
