15 min for my bag.
35 mins for GE as systems down.
10 mins to get through security / bag drop (3 times i had to use the scanner)
10 mins for 2 trains

Looking forward to walking down the short walkway to the station next week!
I raise you KUL arrival a couple of months back...

10 minute walk to where the shuttle was supposed to be - shuttle not working.
10 minute walk up and down stairs to what I assumed would be immigration. It was actually a bus stop.
5 minute wait for a bus - then some poor women in a wheelchair being literally pushed onto the bus by her arse (big step - no chance of being wheeled on). She was made to stand initially until somebody took pity on her and gave his seat.
10 minute bus ride to immigration
5 minute walk to immigration... for me. I was through immediately using the eGates. Missus refused at eGates.
20 minutes for missus to get through after queueing
0 minutes for baggage as it was already on belt! Whohoo - we're on our way. Beer anticipated in 15 minutes.
10 minutes to find Emirates driver. It would be helpful if they had a sign as the instructions were wrong. Beer anticipated in 10 minutes.
45 minutes to get to hotel. OK - that was my fault for not checking how far the airport was from KUL city centre

Got beer at 00:30... Bar closed at 01:00
