+1. I saw a couple of 738s parked at the Satellite terminal about a week ago. My hunch is that they are being used for the longer regional flights, ie. DEL, MLE, KTM etc.

Arrived once from DPS at satellite, and departed for KTM at main terminal.
So no, I don't think its destination specific.

Futhermore MH has several long/medium haul flights departing from the satellite terminal at around mid-night and beyond. Are the passengers then asked to move over to the regional lounge if the main lounge closes between mid-night and 5am
Can anyone else confirm based on actual visits.

Rare but it happens. I have only 1 from the satellite terminal out of 20+ on the 737. It was a flight to SIN.
As for the lounge, based on my personal experience, the regional lounge closes at 2359 and re-opens at 0500. Not sure how that works with their ultra early Phuket flight. The staff at the satellite tells me that the lounge is closed from 3am-5am for cleaning when I was last there.
Note: This is all prior to the lounge upgrading and the issues.

Not when it contradicts what's being published; and the last time I left the main lounge at close to midnight it didnt look like it was closing, while the regional lounge at around 11pm did look like they were preparing to close (though it was time some ago)
One person's one time experience does not make it a permanent feature.

Main Lounge is in satellite terminal
Regional Lounge is in main terminal building.

Strange, QR has a flight (I think daily) KUL-DOH 0330 hrs and I have always been directed to and used the satellite lounge...(except during renovation)
Anyway, champagne, whether in Regional, Satellite or previously the Platinum suite, was always Thierry Grandin- my last flight was on Xmas. Although someone has mentioned another brand here...perhaps they have a mix.
The toilets and showers in Satellite are amongst the worst in the world and a disgrace. I often use the public toilets in the terminal instead, where they are far cleaner and dry. They never did re-tile the shower rooms, and amenities are 'thin'- generic brand toiletries as vs L'occitane/ Elemis/ Jurilique in other OW member lounges. For a nicer, cleaner shower room, try the regional lounge.

Sad to say that despite spending money on renovation, MH still ended up getting negative feedback
