MH to TG international transfer at KLIA
Hi All,
I hope the KLIA regulars can answer these questions for me...
What is the process for an international transfer flying in on an international MAS flight and then departing on an international Thai airways flight with no checked in baggage?
Will I have to clear immigration in KLIA? I assume not as I would arrive and depart on international flights with no checked baggage, albeit with different carriers?
Do Thai operate out of KLIA 1?
Assuming no need for passport control at KLIA is 2-3 hours enough time to transfer between flights allowing for a little lounge time?
What are your recommendations for lounges at KLIA? I am *G and also full priority plus member?
Many thanks in advance,
Main Wheel.

As a PP member you can also access the Plaza Premium lounge which isn't much better than the two *G ones.

Hi Again,
It looks like my flights will all terminate and commence at the satellite so all good. Many thanks for the prompt advice.
I am flying business class with MH out of Suvarnibuhmi airport in BKK. What are the thoughts for the best Lounge I can access there?
Cheers again,
Main Wheel.

Thanks Guy Betsy,
My only real concern is regardless of which terminal area I land at will be whether or not I will have to do passport and immigration. This will be determined by whether or not I can check in for my Thai Airways departure flight at the transfer counter in the satellite terminal.

MW

If you arrive in the main gates (G and H) - just head to the aerotrain to the C gates.
Couldn't be easier.

The OP can just go straight to the TG lounge and ask the lounge agents to check him in and issue the BP. Most lounges are connected to the DCS, so that should not be a problem. In the worst case scenario, if they don't have a DCS link, they will either send a staff to the transit desk, or direct the OP as to where exactly it is.

Hi All,
Many thanks to everyone for their valued and knowledgable replies.
Over on the Thai board I had asked if anyone there had experience doing the same transfer I will have and I based that question on the knowledge I gained here. I asked purely for my own peace of mind however, I now understand that it is against the rules and perhaps even disrespectful to have done so.
With that in mind I would like to apologise to all you good folk here in the MAS board for doing so. I have removed that post.
Sincere apologies,
Main Wheel.
