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.

I am here at the lounge again and it is night. I still got the paper napkin but some others got linen. Maybe it is down to what I ordered, ie, noodle (snack?) rather than the sea bass or something more substantial.
This time however, they ran out of champagne.
Service is quite attentive and good.

But I shall try the Regional lounge as I guess there is a good chance I will get in.

I have always managed to get into the Regional whenever I depart from the G/H gates as a OWE (and also C gates, but they'll just remind me that it takes time to travel to the satellite concourse).

I'm also prefer the satellite if time permitted as regional lounge seems abit smaller. However, the disadvantage for satellite golden lounge is the dessert always running out 
Anyway, only satellite business lounge is 24 hours

If your flight departs from satellite, and you try to enter the regional lounge the staff might feel it is more convenient for you to be in the satellite lounge and redirects you. That said, some polite insistence will always work out well.
I have had it before at satellite while my flight to Singapore departed 3 hours later from the main terminal, and after listening to the fact there are no boarding calls and they are not accountable if I take too long to get there I give a friendly smile and an acknowledgement of that I still got in the lounge as an OWE.

After passing KUL a few times this month, I noticed a few things about the Platinum dining area.
First, it felt like linen napkins are only used for dinner and not breakfast.
Second, how long are they going to keep not replacing the shower room mats. They are disgusting.
Finally, it feels sad that the orange juice they serve, even in the “Platinum” section is the same orange fluorescent liquid you find on board.

MH is just not a premium product, so as long as prices reflect this I'm ok with it. Still it puzzles me how nobody thinks of replacing those shower mats.

But totally agree about the "orange" "juice" (I'm pretty sure neither of those words is accurate to describe that stuff).

I've never seen linen napkins at lunch in several visits these past few months. Table linen yes. Cloth/linen napkins never.
