Don't complaint too much
Guess it is still better than KLIA's Golden lounge, serving nasi lemak and rendang chicken.
Best of all, on 12th before I travel again, the bar was closed
Still prefer Al Mourjan lounge in Hamad international airport
Frankly, most of the food served in airports are pre-cooked and heat up back when we are ordering them.

Rice is tastier than chicken

I'm in kiasu land, naturally will like to complaint

I actually fancy KLIA PPL more, just felt better overall. At least some finger food. Here only chicken rice with very weird tasting chicken and fried rice (2 rice dish, like seriously?)

Lol

Well, as said, food are pre-cooked and reheat.
If the food are prepared on the spot, it will taste better.
In golden lounge, the best is the wan tan mee but still the soup tastes 1 kind only. That's my "last" local food before I take off to Qatar and enjoying Indian food.

Bro, next time drop by Skyview Lounge at the opposite end near Gates D. Sometimes they got satay and one or two dim sum dishes besides chicken or beef. And it's 2 levels, go to the upper level and there is a quite room where they have 2 chairs where you put your legs up and can kind of sleep

Was tempted to but rain forest is nearer to where AA park their plane. I actually read reviews of both lounge including yours and had problem choosing. Anyway will have chance to try sky view. Thanks for the recommendation.

Maybank American Express Platinum

Cardholder can bring partner access as well? FOC?

Senior Gen-X, other than msia credit card, are you interested to review credit card issued by SG banks?

I find that there no SG credit card detailed review at the net so far.

Kinda off topic, but just asking since you might be familiar with it as well.

Guys, just checking the Wellness Spa in KLIA2 has towel and shampoo etc.? All these stuff I will check in already before I go to the PPL. I cannot recall during my last trip.

Bro, I got no ideas on SG credit cards. The only foreign credit card I have is Citibank Australia Platinum Rewards Visa where it is FREE FOR LIFE as long as I maintain my CitiGold status. I tell you, Malaysia is the best where many banks offer FREE FOR LIFE credit cards but not the case in Australia.

Anyway, no matter where one resides, the best credit card in the world is still Maybank 2 Cards Premier. Annual income requirement less than USD60K/year and it earns you 1 Airmile (Enrich of KrisFlyer) with less than USD0.26 spending anywhere on earth (VI outside Malaysia and AR withing Malaysia) And one gets to enter worldwide airport lounges 5X FREE per year too If you are working in SG and spend you money there, you get 1 KrisFlyer Miles with every SGD0.335spent (or close to 3 KrisFlyer Miles with SGD1 spent)!!!! I don't think any SG credit cards can beat this. UOB PRVI AMEX or MC only offer 1.6 AirMiles for every SDG1 spent in SG.

Having said the above, we need less Enrich Miles compared to Kris Flyer Miles to fly Business Class to say to London. EM only need 55K (KL/LHR) whereas KrisFlyer 80K (SIN/LHR). Both did not consider redeeming online where you get 15%

Bro Gen-X , Actually not only Enrich and Krisflyer, we can redeem AsiaMiles too.

And I was wondering why no discount shown for my intended booking from Japan - KL. So i guess normal redemption cost 40k EM now they are selling at 34k EM. Silly me

Yes, someone mentioned it, How it works? I got no idea Need a sifu to give me a lesson - say redeeming EM vs Krisflyer vs AsiaMiles to London or Paris.

Bro, that's 15% discount. All online redemptions are entitled to 15% discount for Enrich Miles and KrisFlyer Miles all year round versus calling them over the phone. And the MAS sale until 24th Jan is for booking flights, i.e. paying for the ticket in full and not with Enrich Redemption.

Boy, we discussing Frequesnt Flyer Miles at wrong thread, haha. I was merely answering apj8188 question which was general in respect to SG cards.

Thanks for your recommendation and advice. I started my credit card journey after reading through your blogs. Very helpful.

And sorry for the off topic

If I'm not mistaken, it's not FOC, there will be a charges of USD27 per guest that you check in as I remember it's written in the booklet sent together with the card.
However, supplementary card would probably get to access any PPL nationwide FOC despite of Maybank Customer Service said that there will charges.
At least Maybank did not charge me any fee to my Visa Infinite supplementary card.

Hi Fruitie, Wellness Spa @KLIA2 probably would have towel and shampoo as according to Plaza Premium Lounge official website, it's written that they have "Shower with amenities". Logically thinking, Wellness Spa should have towel and shampoo as Gateway @KLIA2 do have it and it's run by Plaza Premium Lounge as well.

Or you may call Wellness Spa @KLIA2 at +(603) 4065 0165 to save yourself from doubt.

Happily walk towards Spa Wellness this morning because my flight depart from Q gate, to my horror it was closed then only remember it opens from 7AM onwards.

Had to eat that sad and expensive McD

Why not head to The Green Market or The BAR instead? (Assume you don't mind some walking and provided you have the time to do so)

The Green Market open at 4AM and The BAR open at 5AM.

supposed can request and claim food voucher due to the delay, right? i did that last 2 years.

The Green Market and The BAR are new to me. Are they part of the free access service of the PPL or pay service?

Pay service for most CC with access to PPL. Didn't know of any CC giving complimentary entry for them so far.
