Looks like MH would be standardising this across both international and domestic?
MH actually boards pretty close to the departure time for domestics flights. What I find absurd is the way it's communicated on the boarding pass ... what's the point of closing the check-in counter 1 hour before departure (stated on BP) if the boarding time is exactly when the counter closes ?? (also stated on BP).
had a MH flight today, boarding time was 5 minutes before departure as the norm. However I had arrived the airport 45 minutes earlier than I usually would have because of the new BP boarding time.
AK on the contrary states a boarding time (30 minutes before departure), and a denied boarding time in smaller print (20 minutes before).

is some alcohol self serve now ? Or is everything still passed through the bar tender ?
also thanks to TGFlyergirl for the pics and everyone who's posted updates. Just went through domestic KLIA earlier and the Domestic lounge is still closed.
