You are lucky. I flew with ET on KUL-BKK-KUL. The return flight was delayed 8 hours due to late departure.
When I reached airport I was told yo pay up my ticket as they did now manage to collect money from my cc and they only accept cash.
Only if I paid up, they will transferred me to TG. I ended up buying TG one way ticket back to KUL as I did not have enough THB to pay them.

I can now confirm that BKK checkin issues a lounge pass and priority lane security access on these tickets. It seems it is only on the KUL side that cut back on Business Class lounge and priority lane access thru security.

Sorry to hear. It would seem that ET will honour the tickets but not the perks and flexibility of business class tickets. That said, the cabin crew did not distinguish any difference in the fare paid. Considering the price paid, I am happy to live within those restrictions.
Can you imagine if I dont have any cc or cash to buy another return ticket?
How can they claimed that they did not receive the money even after issuing me the ticket and even fly me one way to bkk, and cancelled my ticket?
With this bad experience I will avoid them as much as I can

The issue that I highlighted was worse.

No, coz they did not accept credit card. the checkin staff (which is TG agent), just saidm why don't you use your credit card to withdraw money. did they know this is called Cash Advance and I will be charged interest?
I ended up going to TG Sales office and purchase oneway ticket to KUL using my CC.

that's why I decided to walk away and bough the ticket from TG, even the price is around the same amount.
