KLIA Layover
I am stuck with a six hour layover at KLIA in December, 6pm to midnight. I am flying with Malaysian and am not eligible for Golden Lounge access. I was not able to determine from the MH website whether it was possible to purchase a lounge pass.
Has anyone had any experience with the Plaza Premium lounge at KLIA? It seems to cost about $50 for a three hour pass. There are four of us travelling so it would need to be worth the price of admission.
Grateful for any feedback.

Alternative would be to head landside and walk over to the Sama-Sama Hotel (ex Pan Pacific) and have dinner there. Reviews say the food isnt bad (and it certainly wasnt bad during Pan Pacific times). Your $$ would go further there than spending it at the small lounge.

I've stayed a couple of times at the airside transit hotel when I've had a long (but not overnight) layover in KL, even when I've had lounge access.

I am sure the last time I was at the KLIA Golden Lounge there was a sign on the front counter with a charge listed. I assumed it was for entry to the lounge if not on a premium ticket etc.

OK. Thanks Annalisa. This was what I was trying to determine on the MH website. Might have to give them a call to ask about the entrance fee.
