Hi all. Flying into Kota Kinabalu and then visiting Sandakan and Labaun Island over a 2 week period.
All flights have been booked in Business Class, flying OD and MH.
Can anyone provde insight into BKI, SDK and LBU airports. I know that they are fairly small airports but was wondering if any of them have lounges.
Thanks

The Priority Pass lounge adjacent to MH's in BKI makes outstanding coffee drinks. I only know this because the MH lounge was so pathetic that I stayed all of 3 minutes: time enough to put bag down, walk past the food table, pick bag up and leave.
SDK is tiny with little pre/post security. And three doors, er, gates to the tarmac.

Interesting. I'm flying in and out of BKI with OD (Malindo) - I'd assume that will mean the Priority Pass lounge.
Domestic flights will be with MASwings on ATR Turbo Props - Biz in row 17 or 18.
Biz Class was only another $20 and we needed the 30Kgs, additionally I could choose seats (the Mt Kinabalu side of the aircraft). Oh, plus the free bottle of water.

The most interesting fact about LBU is that it houses the island's only Starbucks and McDonalds. It also has aerobridges if you are arriving by jet. Most airports in Malaysia all have the same general look and feel of a mini KLIA to it (spacious departure hall with alot of glass and lots of silver cladding, comparatively ugly arrival hall with beige walls) since they are operated by the same company.
I personally havent been to SDK so no comment on it.
