Once you touch down at the KLIA (Kuala Lumpur International Airport), you have quite a number of transport options to KL Sentral. All the guys at the arrival area will tell you taxi is the way to go, but don't mind them. Taxi is probably the most convenient one, but I personally don't trust people who actively try to sell me anything. I always take the KLIA Expres, although I believe there are regular buses going to the city.
A one-ticket to KL Sentral via KLIA Expres costs RM35. If you're sure you're flying out again, get the round-trip one. It costs RM70. (Figure that one out!) The trip takes only 20 minutes, and you get to enjoy the views of rubber plantations and building and highways under construction. Hop off at KL Sentral, cross the street, and you're now at Hilton and Le Meridien. Take your pick.
If you're saving your pocket money for fake DVDs, there's a cheaper way to get to KL Sentral. No, it's not called walking or hitchhiking. From KLIA, instead of taking the KLIA Expres, take the KLIA Transit. Pay RM6.20 and get off at Putrajaya. Nice place to have a tour, but not if you have luggages with you. Buy a ticket for KL Sentral for RM9.50. Total cost: RM17.50 instead of RM35. Satisfaction from having beaten the system: priceless.
