It is such a waste to use the 2x complimentary pass at LCCT Plaza Premium Lounge. The LCCT lounge is very outdated and "low cost" type. It doesn't provide full range of services like what KLIA and Changi Plaza Premium Lounges provide.

CIMB/DA VI (2x for first year), CIMB Enrich WMC (2x for first year), MBB WMC (need to pay additional AF) and MAS Amex Business Card.

CIMB/DA VI might have already changed the complimentary airport lounge access. I obtained my DA VI last September and I was given 2 MAS Golden Lounge vouchers (1x for MAS Golden Lounge in Malaysia and another 1x for MAS Golden Lounge in overseas).

If you referred to unlimited free access to Plaza Premium Lounge at Changi Airport, you can use HLB VS. It is actually the former EON Bank VS.


The Marhaba Lounge in Dubai Airport is different. It even accepted my SCB JustOne Titanium MC, as long as the card is Titanium MC level and above. I have tried this twice.

This is not a new feature. It is the former EON Bank card, which have already given this benefit long ago.

Do not expect HLB so "generous".

Unfortunately airport lounges in Bahrain Airport do not accept credit cards from non-GCC countries for free access. If you are in Dubai Airport, however, you can use your MC (titanium level and above) to enter Marhaba Lounge FOC.

Did you see the front desk officer swipe your card? Or did you sign any transaction slip?

If RHB charged you without your knowledge, then it is really unethical. For my Alliance Platinum debit card, the front desk officer would inform me if the quota is full.


Damn it! I also received the notification. Now I don't have any cards that allow me to enter KLIA and LCCT Plaza Premium Lounges for free.

To me, benefit of these 2 cards sucks. Furthermore, complimentary airport lounge access is not my main criteria for card selection.

According to the CS who answered me this morning, Alliance Platinum credit cardholders can still enjoy unlimited free access to KLIA Plaza Premium Lounge.

However, the monthly quota for Alliance debit cards is very low, such as 50 pax for Alliance Platinum debit card and 40 pax for Alliance Premium debit card for KLIA Plaza Premium Lounge. A few months ago when I tried to use Alliance Platinum debit card to enter KLIA Plaza Premium Lounge on the 15th, the quota had finished. Anyway, we can't even use Alliance Platinum debit card to get complimentary access to both KLIA and LCCT Plaza Premium Lounges anymore from November onwards.

HLB will review and consolidate the features of all the ex-EON Bank cards. Complimentary airport lounge access is given till end December 2011.

Five days ago I thought I could use my Alliance Platinum debit card to enter LCCT Plaza Premium Lounge for the very last time since Alliance Bank will terminate this benefit for its debit cards from November 2011 onwards. I was rejected as the quota was full.

There is a MAS Golden Lounge in Penang Airport.

You forgot DA VI, MBB WMC and MAS Amex Business Card.

I received 2 MAS Golden Lounge vouchers when I applied for DA VI last year.

I am a frequent traveller. From my experience, you do not need to show your boarding pass to the front officers at KLIA Plaza Premium Lounge for free access. They only need to see and note down your credit card number.

If you want to enter MAS Golden Lounge, on the other hand, your boarding pass is requisite.

Effective 10-10-2013, SCB Priority Pass cardholder will get only 2 times complimentary access to airport lounges worldwide annually.
