Any idea/experiences whether EXPs (or other OW Emeralds) will be allowed access to the Platinum Suite section of MH's KUL Golden Lounge? Both the MH and OW websites don't say.
I have two trips booked on MH via KUL next month and I'm looking forward to flying them for the first time.

Has anyone else noticed that they've taken the First Class lounge sign down ? I thought this was hilarious as they seemed to be directing ALL traffic in to the Business Lounge....Maybe they don't want any Emerald Oneworld members to know that they should go right instead of left.
FWIW the suites aren't that big anyway and there really don't seem to be a lot of people in the F lounge anyway. I'm sure the regular Golden lounge is just packed to the gills now !!!

I was doing some random searches for MH awards from LHR/CDG/FRA-KUL and some days in April/MAY are showing 9 or more J seats for award. Looks like MH is the airline to fly if you need to transport larges groups in J

F seats availability using AA miles
Saw Mod's guidepost no longer mentioning MH F is not available using AA mile. Does that mean we can book MH F seats with AA miles now if inventories are available?

I took a flight on 6 Feb, and its still not credited to AAdvantage yet. So I'd say, wait a little bit longer...
I'd give it a month before I send in a manual credit.

I'd say that MH has restricted F award inventory to Oneworld members other than their own and current FFP partners like VS and (maybe) DL.

MH A380's F award inventory only showing up on their own website. It does not show up on BA's website even when the F award seat is available.

https://www.aa.com/i18n/AAdvantage/e...iaairlines.jsp. I guess they just forgot it in the release.
Booked into exactly that one for an upcoming CDG-KUL-HKT trip at a really nice price, which is a good deal even without the double miles promo.

At least I'm getting 125% plus the extra 100% elite bonus instead of MH's 150% redeemable miles only !!!

When you try to search for F on an MH route and it shows as economy, the text under the flight number says, "Only 4 reward flight seat(s) left in this class". I noticed this matches the actual F availability shown on enrich site.I guess BA is able to see the F space, but MH told them to block it.

BA site showing only Y space when J is available if you're requesting for F space. But when you ask for J space availability, J will show up.
Some other MH's partners like VS Flying Club can book F class award space no problem as I did.
