Kuala Lumpur airport's Flight Club, found on the Mezzanine Level in KLIA, serves healthy drinks and meals in a charming café-like environment.

Flight Club puts emphasis on herb and seed ingredients such as rosemary, oregano, chia seeds, and flaxseeds; on top of that, they serve Instagram-worthy plating that makes each dish look simply irresistible!

Fitness buffs will go crazy over their cold-pressed juices, salads, and pasta. But of course, you can still look forward to heavier options like roast chicken, fries, and beef.
