Dang. Airline reschedule means I arrive OMG o'clock and leave early in the morning. I'm hoping the lounge will be open for the few hours I have in transit.

I traveled on MH to KUL a few days after they joined OW. I am OW Emerald and was travelling on a paid J ticket. Looking at the report its is clear that this is not the lounge that I was directed to. I suspect that my Emerald status was not recognized and I was directed to the Business Class Lounge. From the Photos in the report the main difference is number of people. The Lounge I was in was quite crowded, though although it lacked a menu the food in the Platinum lounge in the photos seemed fairly similar to the Lounge I was in.

Oh well it won't be the first time I've spent middle of the night between flights trying to stay awake in an airport terminal with nothing open. Probably not the last time either.
