CX KUL Lounge
I know this lounge is nothing to write home about. But given the layout of the airport's (main terminal), would it be possible to arrive on CX 723/25, and spend an hour or so in the departure lounge while waiting for a friend to arrive on another flight? My final destination is KUL, not transiting.
Anyone have any experience?

Technically given the unsegregated nature of departures and arrivals, you will be able to get to the lounge. However, given you are not on a departing flight, whether or not the lounge receptionists will allow you in is a different matter.

The CX lounge is in the satellite terminal at KUL, not the main terminal.

That's what I was wondering...if anyone had any luck getting past the lounge agents?

In my view "waiting for a friend" isn't a good enough reason for CX to let you in the lounge. They run a business, and rightfully so; also this isn't part of their service at KUL.
Besides, there are nicer places to wait, like the noodle restaurant upstairs next to MH lounge... or simply take a stroll through the rain forest and the (somewhat limited) shops to kill the hour.

On July 4th I will fly KUL - PER and have a choice between the MH and CX lounges. I have never been to either. Any suggestions for myself and my travelling companion (who I guest in and is flying MH (KUL - MEL).

Agree with KACommuter on the MH lounge in general- though the a la carte menu in the F section's dining room is quite decent, the Kapiti ice cream fabulous but the beverage selection exceptionally poor.
