You'd detour via KUL?! You do realise the only lounge open at night is PP, which is not much better than SATS? Even in the daytime, the MH lounge is not worth it - doubt the Plat wing will reopen until pax numbers recover

I was flying MH, not QR, but the other day, I was in the satellite terminal Golden Lounge, which was vastly better than SIN T1 SATS (not that that’s setting the bar particularly high). My impression was this lounge is open 24 hours - is that not accurate? And they told me the “first” class side reopens 16 June, but their voices lacked confidence.

In light of your experience, though, perhaps the path of wisdom is to follow my usual Friday night dining plan, since upgrades apparently won’t get the QR lounge.

I’m on the 2:40 flight on 18 June. My usual Friday night thing would be, after my weekly downtown event that ends at 9pm, eat and drink at Clarke Quay or Robertson Quay. But I thought, why not eat and drink at the lounge for free?

indeed upgrades of business P fares do not include QR lounge access.

Not sure if it's back to 24 hours. But MH satellite lounge winds down after MH2 leaves - after about 23:00, the aircon is switched off, lights are turned down/off, bar is closed, no new food gets put out (yesterday's pasta, anyone?), then they start vacuuming... They won't kick you out, but they make clear that you're not welcome. I've done the 3am QR flight enough times to experience this...

...to be fair, MH is not the designated lounge for QR ex-KUL. They direct you to the PP lounge, which is similar to SATS in SIN, Coral in HKT and Miracle in BKK. Perfectly acceptable for an outstation, but I wouldn't go out of my way (unlike, say, the true QR lounges in SIN/BKK or the QF in SIN)

Until a few days ago, I hadn't been in KUL since before COVID.

They told me (on 4 June) that the first class side would open on 16 June.

QR may contract the Plaza Premium lounge but you can still access the Malaysia lounge as per OneWorld rules.
