To kick off the wiki on the new main lounge thread I added a brief overview of the MH lounges at KLIA.
I invite others to add relevant info on location, access requirements and opening hours.
Globalist
All the Malaysia Airlines lounges at KL International Airport (KLIA) have now been reopened after renovations.
Malaysia Airlines has 3 lounges at KLIA.
The KLIA Domestic Golden Lounge.
Located in the domestic terminal for domestic departures, towards the 'A' gates. Open 5am-12am.
The KLIA Regional Golden Lounge
This lounge is located in the main terminal building for international departures. Open 5am-12am.
To access it use the escalator near the Aerotrain platform between the G and H pier.
This lounge is airside and accessible for international departures only,
The International Golden Lounge at Satellite KLIA
This is the largest lounge, and is located in the Satellite Building on the 2nd floor above the Aerotrain platform there. Open 24hrs.
It features a Business class section and a separate 'Platinum' area + dining room for Enrich Platinum, OWEs & MH Business Suites passengers. (There is also a small First Class Suite area on the Platinum side for MH Business Suites passengers.)
This lounge is airside and only accessible by passengers allowed into the international zone.
[This perk may have been stopped as of 1 March 2024, even if the FAQ is not updated and still shows the earlier access rights; see this post.]
This lounge may also be used as an arrivals lounge by passengers arriving on MH flights who either flew MH Business Suites / Business or hold Enrich Platinum / Gold status (not applicableto OWE / OWS).
I invite others to add relevant info on location, access requirements and opening hours.

Can anyone confirm the opening hours for the International Satellite lounges? Is it now 24 hours?
The website says 24 hours, but I trust FT more than the MH website!

Hi All,
I think I know the answer to this but thought I’d check. I am OWE (BA Gold) and on saturday will be travelling to Dubai on emirates EK345 which is an MH codeshare MH4503 in Economy.
Will my OWE status get me access to the lounge? I don’t think so since it is booked on the EK number but wanted to check since am travelling with my boss and intend to guest him.
thanks.

Does anyone knows if I am flying C Class on MH from KUL to Singapore - will I be able to use the international golden lounge at satelite building?
I am aware that MH flights to SIN usually use gates at the main terminal, hence the regional golden lounge (at main terminal) would probably be the one advised by check-in agents. However, I thought the international lounge would be a better one (less crowded with more seating/better food options?).

It depends what time your flight to SIN departs. Between 930am to 12pm, the Satellite lounge is almost deserted.
And if your flight to SIN is the last one out, the regional lounge is also very quiet at time of the evening whereas the satellite lounge will be far more busy.

didn't argue and just "ok-ied" her. saw a few other staff partaking from the buffet ... is it really that hard for MH to keep discipline ?wasn't approached again about lounge closing but I left around 1230am since it wasn't the most comfortable experience having staff glancing at you every few minutes ... and not attempting to clear the table at all.
satellite lounge bar area was closed, but there was an ice bowl at the main buffet area with tiger, calsburg and 3 types of wines. no spirits.

The nap area at F lounge is really quite dreadful, it isn't soundproof so you'll hear every conversation from the main area of the lounge. The seats aren't very suitable for sleeping and is better for lounging, quite a significant change from the sleeping rooms in the past.

you can try the business centre just behind the entrance desks. It’s enclosed and I’ve never seen anyone use it. Just that I’m not sure if it still exists....
