LHR Terminal 4 and KUL lounge question
We are travelling from T4 for the first time in years. Flight is on MH in J to KUL and SYD.
Can I ask which lounge is the best for us for breakfast at T4?
Also, on our return we have around 4 hours at KUL so any comments on the best lounge to use there please. We are both BA silver at present.
Thanks

This is very loose for the BAEC Forum !!
In KUL I used the Platinum GolD Lounge - post #5 which was decent enough

For KUL there is a MH lounge in the main building which has just reopened after being refurbished.
In the satellite I believe the MH lounge is about to shut for refurbishment, but there is a CX lounge.

As you are travelling in J through Terminal 4, avoid the MH Lounge altogether, and head over to the Qatar Airways Lounge by Gate 6.
It's a world away from anything MH can offer, and I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

I'd agree with msm. You can't go far wrong in the QR premium lounge. Having said that, if you're a BA Gold in Y on QR or MH, the emerald MH lounge is one of the most underrated one world lounges in LHR, in my view. The views are excellent, buffet food is wide-ranging (at least at the right times), service is outstanding, and it's always quiet. Streets ahead of Galleries First.

That may be closed as we arrive around 0400.

CX lounge opens at 0630 from memory.
KUL is actually good for local food at reasonable prices - I always see terminal staff eating at the noodle/rice place next to the MH Satellite lounge, and the food looked pretty good.

I flew out on MH3 a few weeks ago with my wife. After a Qatar flight had left we appeared to be the only people left in the lounge..!
At KUL the MH Golden Lounge in the Satellite terminal is closed for refurbishment but the shuttle train to the main terminal only takes a couple of minutes (it's all treated as air-side so go back and forth at will) and the MH Regional Lounge there has just re-opened after refurbishment and it will be sufficient for your needs - reportedly better than the CX lounge or the CIP lounge in Satellite terminal that are also available to you but not tried those.. not as good as the QR lounge at LHR T4 though :-)
