HLB Visa Signature still allows entry to the lounge @ KLIA & LCCT.
I was at KLIA lounge 2 weeks ago, and LCCT lounge just last week with my HLB Visa Signature card.

I just looked at the website after reading your page quickly, and yes, HLB stated it on their site.

Looking for a FREE FOR LIFE World MasterCard or Visa Infinite with minimum income requirement RM100K p.a. that grants you "UNLIMITED" entries to airport lounges? Click here to read AmBank World MasterCard (and Visa Infini8te) Review by VergonDC

If you had read my Credit Card Showdown 2015 - Malaysia's Best Top 10 Credit Cards, of course the Maybank 2 Cards Premier came ou as the clear winner. The FREE FOR LIFE AMBank World MasterCard together with the AmBank Visa Infinite credit cards managed to be ranked No.6 and their Bonus Points conversion rate to Enrich Miles is competitive versus Maybank 2 Cards for overseas face to face spending. One major disadvantage of the AMBank WMC and VI is that they only earn you 1X Bonus Point for online transactions anywhere on planet earth.

I received Black & White statement from Alliance Bank for my Alliance Platinum debit card.

Alliance Premium debit card
- KLIA Plaza Premium Lounge - first 40 pax per month
- LCCT Plaza Premium Lounge - first 20 pax per month

Alliance Platinum debit card
- KLIA Plaza Premium Lounge - first 50 pax per month
- LCCT Plaza Premium Lounge - first 50 pax per month

Alliance Premium debit card a privilege debit card, but it is less “premium” compared to Alliance Platinum debit card in terms of airport lounge access.

Gen-X, you need to edit your posting on Alliance Bank debit card as per my clarification above. It is not UNLIMITED access to LCCT Plaza Premium Lounge. There is a free entry pool of 50 times per month.

hahaha, thanks for the clarifications and why so impatient, didn't you read other posts where I mentioned I away and hard for me to post with my BB. Anyway yours is second post and everyone can read it tongue.gif

I was at LCCT early this week and enter it with my Alliance Premier Debit Card, but the guy didn't inform me on the quota. And as winner mentioned in CC V15 thread, the guy told me Alliance Platinum CC cannot enter the LCCT Plaza Premium Lounge rclxub.gif UOB Preferred Platinum Quota habis on last Tuesday but those with UOB Preferred Platinum with Privilege Banking can enter as there is no quota for them. Saw your post while on holiday, just came back and family all tired so didn't go reconfirm with Plaza Premium Lounge on Alliance Premier Debit Card quota.

yeahh, do you mind checking with Plaza Premium Lounge on quota for Alliance Platinum Credit Card, Alliance Platinum Debit Card and Alliance Premier Debit Card.

did you read my article on KLIA Lounge? Here's the link again.

Basically for me is that the chairs are more comfy and you get free drinks.

If you ask me, maybe KLIA not that important as there are many shops there and can go waste time looking at stuff. But if you do frequent LCCT, then the Plaza Premium Lounge is more comfortable and peaceful as LCCT is like a market.

LCCT Plaza Premium Lounge is too tiny and not so comfortable to be stayed long.

For me, access to airport lounges worldwide is more important especially during the long transit time.

Last time I have SCB VI which gave me priority pass to enter airport lounges in overseas. Now my DA VI gives me 2 passes per year, for entering any MAS Golden Lounges in Malaysia and overseas each.

I have exactly the same combination as yours. But I added Alliance Platinum debit card (limited to 50 entries per month for both KLIA and LCCT Plaza Premium Lounges) and DA VI (free 2 passes upon card approval) for airport lounge access purpose.

The condition is similar to CIMB VS, whereby you need to spend RM100,000 per annum in order to get another 2 passes in the following year. The only different is that, CIMB/DA VI gives 1x free access to any MAS Golden Lounges in Malaysia and 1x free entry to any MAS Golden Lounges in overseas, while CIMB VS gives 2x complimentary entries to Plaza Premium Lounge located in KLIA, LCCT or Changi Airport.

Well, that's is indeed news to me because as far as I know, DAVI do give 2 lounge access as welcome gift (which I received them too in 2009) and there is no where stipulating that they will "renew" the passes if you spend any amount. Are you into the second year already and if yes did you get the free pass as mentioned by you? Someone in my blog did mentioned also that he has checked with DA CS and the passes is a one time thingy.

KLIA premium plaza lounge only accessible for international passengers.

LCCT should be for both domestic and international right?

I've yet to get a reply from MBB for my application for AMEX Platinum credit card. So far i think that's the BEST card for free access to premium lounges. thats just my opinion. the only drawback is that it does not have any cashback options. much like the AMEX gold credit card which i currently have. will probably cancel the gold one IF i get this platinum one

As long as your card can enter, they don't care. No need show boarding pass also.

Platinum CC do have "cash back" when you redeem 200MR points = RM1. With Amex's Amex minimum 2X MR for whatever transaction, it works out to be 1% cash back. Also you get 10X MR with certain merchants with Amex Plat CC and if not mistaken petrol and groceries also 5X.

I wondered if there is a lot of difference between KLIA Plaza Premium & MAS Golden lounges?
QUOTE(Gen-X @ Mar 22 2011, 06:48 PM)
I have never entered the MAS Lounge at KLIA. I would think MAS lounges would be nicer since it is for their business and 1st class passengers.
The difference is worlds apart. MAS Golden Lounge is so much nicer especially the newly renovated lounge located in the Main Terminal Building. It is dubbed the Regional Golden Lounge with Rimba theme thumbup.gif


QUOTE(elis4ever @ Mar 23 2011, 12:11 AM)
MAS lounge is nicer but too bad they dont accept economy class passenger like me  sad.gif ...  no walk in allowed... so Plaza is my only choice beside all the other restaurant...
They do accept walk-in Economy Class passengers ... if you have the right frequent flyer card with the right status smile.gif

You only need to attain Enrich Silver & above, then join their Golden lounge access programme. But of course, one need to pay for it though.

No. Citi CB Platinum would not give you any lounge membership but only the Premier Miles Card does provides you Priority Pass membership. However Priority Pass membership generally does not give you access to airline lounges owned by the airline. Only 3rd party lounges such as Plaza Premium in KLIA or Louis Tavern CIP in BKK.

I stand corrected. Citi Premier miles with priority pass also don't get access to Golden Lounge only Plaza Premium Lounge. After I read your post only I realized that teikwing was referring to Golden Lounge.

by the way hye, Citi Plat Cash Back can enter KLIA Plaza Premium Lounge with Direct Access membership? What is Direct Access membership?

Made a mistake myself ... now I know why I felt funny after pressing the submit button. First mistake - I meant Priority Pass membership and not Direct Access.

Second correction - Citi Plat CB doesn't give you any lounge access. You will need to apply for the PremierMiles CB card. Upon approval of the card, the application form for the Priority Pass will be there. Membership is free and you will given 2 complimentary visits using the Priority Pass.

Entry using the PremierMiles card to the KLIA lounge is 12 visit per year.

Sorry Gen-X, just realized that I didn't read the first post myself.
MBB WMC does not qualify you to the MAS lounge automatically as there are 2 membership tiers. One with the lounge access and the other without. And of course one need to subscribe to the lounge access membership and pay the full amount to get the MAS lounge access.

Still with the lounge access, you still need to wait for them to upgrade your Enrich card to Silver. It is the Enrich card that brings you into the lounge, the WMC will get you now where even though you show it to them.

As for access to international lounge ... well I will put a caveat to that. You see MAS does not have lounges all over the world - (to my best knowledge), they only have lounges in Malaysia, Singapore and United Kingdom. The rest of the world are covered via partner lounges. Problem is that access to the partner lounge require you to have the "invite" / business class boarding pass for MAS flights. I have asked a MAS staff before on this subject and the use on the Enrich card will only give you access to the MAS lounge but not the partner lounges.

So ... hope someone out there can correct me on my understanding on MAS lounges.
Still the food quality and facilities are far better in MAS lounge than inside the Plaza Premium lounge. So it is quite worthwhile to gain entry to the lounge if you fly often on MAS economy flights. (No point if you are on business since you have the ticket to enter the lounge)

Food quality over in KLIA Plaza Premium Lounge have improved slightly but just a few months ago, I specifically avoided eating the sandwiches because they always taste funny and my stomach will always feel funny as well. The noodles are always extremely salty back then as well.

* My recent trip was about 2 weeks back and the previous one was about 3-4 months back.

A simple answer is Yes. However to enter the lounge, you need not necessarily be a Plat card holder.
So long you are willing to pay for the charges then you can enter the lounge. Often (it happens right in front of me), when people ask about bringing their partner/wife/gf/whoever and learnt about the charges - they turn back coz they want it for free and not wanting to pay for it. (Me too if I do ever have someone to bring along with me )

you 100% can enter but if your friend UOB is normal Preferred Plat (non Privilege Banking) then maybe he won't be able to get in as there is a quota of 400 monthly for UOB Plats. Both times I at KLIA and LCCT, UOB Preferred Plat quota habis and it was only middle of the month.

Hard to say ... it all depends on how many cardholders are travelling around during that period. If unlucky ... quota finish then nothing much can do.

It is not that tough to get the AMEX Plat charge card these days since MBB AMEX department is constantly offering pre-approved on such premium cards. The only main concern should be the hefty annual fees.

Annual fee:
RM2380

Minimum annual income:
RM190,000

hefty annual fees SHOULDN'T be a problem ....... IF (a very BIG if) you probably spend alot on the card and make prompt payments. they SHOULD waive it if u request. but not sure whether i can spend that much on so many credit cards.

The AMEX Plat charge card is notorious for not waiving annual fees unless you are a high spender of over RM 100k annually (quoted from MBB AMEX dept officer who offer me the pre-approved card). Same goes with the MBB WMC.

Maybe any members here managed to get it waived at a much lower spending annually can share with us.

According to the Maybank website regarding Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer American Express® Gold Credit Card, it says that "Present your Card for complimentary access to the Plaza Premium Lounge". It does not restrict to KLIA or LCCT or what. As long it is a Plaza Premium Lounge, cardmembers can enter.

Please see Product Disclosure Sheet for more details. In the PDS also no mentioning about restrictions to Plaza Premium Lounge.

You guys ever ask? All I did was ask at Info counter and was directed to it.

Anyway, at KLIA it is located at the Mezzanine Floor of the Satellite Building.

And if you google, you can easily find link below:

There's several MAS lounge. If I'm not mistaken there's 3. 2 itself is located on the main airport building (top and lower floor) and the 3rd one located @ the satellite building. The KLIA Plaza Premier Lounge is located @ the satellite building on the same floor as the MAS lounge ... around 80 meters apart.

I guess I was confused by the CS officer in Pavilion when I received my DA VI there last year. The girl told me that the free vouchers are renewable on a yearly basis.

I called DA CS just now and was informed that the MAS Golden Lounge vouchers are only given to new VI cardholders. There will be no more free vouchers for second year onwards regardless of how much you spend.

Alliance Premium debit card a privilege debit card, but it is less “premium” compared to Alliance Platinum debit card in terms of airport lounge access.

Can someone help me...

just needed some clarification. after reading all the posts and the blog by Gen-x, i decided to opt for Alliance Bank Platinum CC to gain access to the KLIA Premier lounge.

However when i went to make my application, i was told that only the first 100 new platinum credit card subscribers (first time applying for CC with Alliance Bank) of the month would be entitled this benefit??

Apart from that, i also read this off their website.

http://www.alliancebank.com.my/abmb_busine...ccard_more.html

Platinum-style privileges
24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year of Platinum-styled dedicated Customer Service
High credit limit
Air Miles via Enrich Rewards Program (with Malaysia Airlines)
2x Timeless Bonus Points on overseas spend
Complimentary entry at the KLIA Plaza Premium Airport Lounge (valid for 1st 150 Platinum Cardmembers per month, subsequent Cardmembers will receive 50% discount on entry charges and all guest(s) of Cardmembers will receive 25% discount on entry charges)
24-hour concierge services provided by VISA International and MasterCard Worldwide
Passport to Global Platinum Privileges from VISA International and MasterCard Worldwide

its also written there valid for 1st 150 platinum cardmembers per month?

could someone clarify if it is really unlimited free access using the Alliance Bank Platinum CC? (or perhaps if the website info is wrong?)

Many thanks

It is indeed LIMITED access. Who said unlimited?
If you really want it so badly, get SCB Platinum instead. This one confirm unlimited free access.

It is indeed LIMITED access. Who said unlimited?
If you really want it so badly, get SCB Platinum instead. This one confirm unlimited free access.

This post mentioned it was unlimited... See below - very first post on this thread:

Alliance Plat - UNLIMITED access to Plaza Premium Lounge KLIA only


QUOTE(Gen-X @ Mar 14 2011, 11:22 PM)
Airport Lounge Access

First compiled by David83 in CC Thread V11 and Updated by MilesAndMore in CC Thread V12

KLIA Plaza Premium Lounge Only

1. Alliance Plat - UNLIMITED access to Plaza Premium Lounge KLIA only.
2. Citibank Plat - Free access to Plaza Premium Lounge KLIA with a limit of 12 times a year
3. SCB Platinum - UNLIMITED entries to Plaza Premium Lounge KLIA for principal ONLY
However, the officer I spoke with at Alliance Bank did say it was unlimited access, however it was only valid for the first 100 platinum cc subscribers for the month (must be first time subscribing a CC from Alliance Bank) - and these ppl will enjoy unlimited access to the lounge as many times as they want. How would they monitor the card, i wouldnt know. its not like it will be printed on the card that "hey, this person is eligible for the lounge"... even the officer was unsure of this (after calling countless support personnel...) i think at the end, she was confused herself...

The website however, stated something much different, only the first 150 platinum cc card members from alliance bank would get the free entry, following by 50% and 25%... so... very contradicting points... ><

Alliance Bank keeps changing its policy. About the free access to KLIA Plaza Premium Lounge for Alliance Platinum credit cardholders, it was used to be limited entries per month and then changed to unlimited access. And now, if the website mentions 150 pax per month, then you should trust this official statement in the website. Do not listen to Alliance CS officers as they are not well-versed with their bank products. No offence here.

saint85, first of all Alliance CS is one of the worst you'll ever come across. They know next to nuts (except for one senior chinaman CS, can't remember his name) or maybe they ever never update their system.

As you can see, yeahh and winner also have conflicting confirmation. yeahh's from Plaza Premium Lounge and winner's I guess from Alliance. So who is correct?

Do note yeahh's post on March 22, Plaza Premium Lounge confirmed to him via email that Alliance Platinum Credit Card have unlimited access to KLIA Plaza Premium Lounge.

Well, if anyone do get rejected from entering KLIA Plaza Premium Lounge with thier Alliance Platinum CC, please report here.

yah based on email above, you can say that. But also we must look at how many people have Platinum cars over Premium cards and then what is the percentage allocated. However, if you see Plaza Premium Lounge reply to yeahh, it is entirely different from the email that winner received. Total allocated into LCCT is 50 combining both Premium and Platinum.

This was exactly what I thought, as Alliance Premium debit cards are offered to Alliance Privilege Banking customers only. Below is the reply I received from Alliance Bank.

Dear Mr XXX,

Thank you for contacting Alliance Bank Customer Service on 31 March 2011.

Dear Pxxx Rxxx,

Thank you for the feedback.

Why is Alliance Premium Debit Card granted less entries to KLIA and LCCT Plaza Premium Lounges compared to Alliance Platinum Debit Card?  Isn't Alliance Premium Debit Card a premium card offered to Privilege Banking customers?

I look forward to your early reply.  Thank you.

Gen-X, I can ASSURE that my answers are CORRECT. I sent an enquiry to Plaza Premium Lounge via email today and received the official reply from them today too. The answers I received are CONSISTENT with what Alliance Bank emailed me earlier. Please amend the first page immediately to avoid confusion.

The only thing with the EON Plat MC is that no CS Toll Free line and must swipe 36 times a year which makes it hard to keep track.

if i'm not mistaken, it's up to 31 December 2011 only..

btw, the benefit of swiping at least 36 times, is two fold ie for the annual fee waiver and also for the rebates to offset the service tax, at a rate of 1% of amount spend (off course max RM50 lah)...

Can give any link to confirm offer until 31st Dec 2011?

I saw the first page of the Delightful Delights, it says promotions up to April 2012 so I assume PPL offer up to April But just to clarify, the EON VS CS did tell me up to 31st Dec 2011.

thank you, saw it. How come I did not see it yesterday? I remember I was trying to find the terms and conditions.

As for the Renewal Bonus, it does not state if it is applicable to Visa Signature, I must go check with CS, if yes, got to go swipe the card more often.

If you have more than one card that allow you free access to the Premium Plaza Lounge, you can use it to bring your friends in too. I've tried before few times and they allowed it.

yeap, that's true, that's why I need more cards for my entire family to enter biggrin.gif

And thanks to fauzistt, we all know that EON Bank Plat MC also can enter KLIA, LCCT, Senai and Changi. Best Visa/MC Platinum Card as far as Plaza Premium Lounge is concerned.

By the way, for KRIS FLyer Amex it was discussed that it was not state that entry to Plaza Premium Lounge is limited to Malaysia - anyone can confirm if applicable to all Plaza Premium Lounges worldwide?).

Were you referring to Alliance Bank Platinum Debit Card for Alliance Personal customers?

I thought the minimum deposit is RM50,000? There were afew times when my deposit fell below RM50,000, the bank sent me warning letters and would charge me a monthly penalty of RM25 if I did not top up the deposit.

I guess the card you received is a temporary card. They will issue you a new card with your name embossed on it.

no. mine is alliance platinum debit card for current account.

i just went to alliance and told them i want to open acc to get debit plat card. they said min deposit rm20k.

there is no min balance need to maintain, just rm12 annual fee for the atm (plat debit) card - this is what the bank officer told me.

i think they just gave me 'basic' current accout? coz no bank book and no cheque option.
got the plat card, deposit cash rm30k at counter, wait a while, then got slip (for atm pin number).

when i went to atm to change pin, i checked the balance, rm12 already deducted.


Added on April 22, 2011, 2:59 pmalliancebank first time login (online banking registration) need to wait 24 hours after set the internet pin at ATM (dunno why sweat.gif)

i will tell here what is my account type after i can register online banking tomorrow ~

you should post at or Maybankard 2 Cards Thread because there are two people there having both Gold and Plat. But I believe you should get RM50 for each card since both are separate account and you got to pay GST for each card.

Hi there guys and Gen-X,

As a response to Erry's post - as well as the unsure-ness of everyone regarding Alliance Bank Platinum Credit Card - I can 100% confirm YES you can enter the KLIA Premium Lounge UNLIMITED times.

I just went there last Wednesday. Its totally free with my Alliance Bank Platinum Credit Card (NOT DEBIT). And i also asked them how many times I can enter - and they said unlimited.

Please do not call the Alliance Bank Helpline - it is totally USELESS - in fact, they themselves are confused and unsure of their own policies. If you do want confirmation, give a call to KLIA Premium Lounge - they would know better since they are the ones who are accepting the cards!

Best regards

you should post at or Maybankard 2 Cards Thread because there are two people there having both Gold and Plat. But I believe you should get RM50 for each card since both are separate account and you got to pay GST for each card.

haha, wait till you call their CS after 10pm, they know next to nuts when Alliance website claimed that Platinum cards enjoy 24 hours CS.

Anyway, I just got my Citibank Platinum and my wife got her PremierMiles. Both grant you 12 times access to KLIA Plaza Premium Lounge but the Citibank Premier Miles Visa Signature gives you 2 free access to airport lounges worldwide with Priority Pass membership.

Please read through the info carefully and don't come to easy conclusion just because you didn't search thoroughly.
We did discuss about lounges benefits worldwide. You don't hear about it much because there are limited options available.

I guess if one is mod then it is safe to assume others to didn't search thoroughly etc or maybe it is allowed by rules or ethics here to make a harsh reply.
I did read the thread and found out the list only listed cards that have access to KLIA, LCCT, Senai and Changi. Mind if you could point out which card support worldwide lounges?

I came to this thread hoping to get more information not to have my own opinion which I entitle to have one to be dismissed without reason.

I already have Priority Pass, only looking for credit card with free lounge access which I can easily found in the states or europe but not malaysia. I see there is SCB with unlimited PP access but that is not what I'm looking for.
Nevermind then, too many people misunderstood my question.

Well, that contradicts the Delighful Privileges brochure.

I did call EON Bank to reconfirm and the CS informed that Platinum credit cards do not enjoy UNLIMITED access to KLIA, LCCT, Senai and Changi but LIMITED and he can't tell me the quota but instead asked me to check with Plaza Premium Lounge doh.gif

For nomal Hybrid Account with Alliance Platinum debit card, you do not need to maintain RM20,000 in your account.

I have just changed my "Alliance Personal" Platinum debit card to normal Alliance Platinum debit. No minimum deposit is required. So I have withdrawn all money from my Hybrid Account and leave a token RM100 in the account.

This card is accepted at both KLIA and LCCT Plaza Premium Lounges, as long as it is Alliance Platinum debit card.

As far as I know, there isn't a single HSBC credit card that gives you free access to KLIA Plaza Premium Lounge. But if you willing to pay, the HSBC Visa Signature is welcome.

Hong Leong is taking over EON Bank. All EON cards will eventually become "history".

None of the HSBC cards issued in Malaysia gives free airport lounge access. HSBC Premier customers do not even get this kind of benefit.

I am looking forward to HLB taking control and merging their operations. Hopefully HLB will retain the VIsa Signature since HLB don't have a premier card. Then easier for me to ask for annual fee waiver, haha.

Hi there guys and Gen-X,

As a response to Erry's post - as well as the unsure-ness of everyone regarding Alliance Bank Platinum Credit Card - I can 100% confirm YES you can enter the KLIA Premium Lounge UNLIMITED times.

I just went there last Wednesday. Its totally free with my Alliance Bank Platinum Credit Card (NOT DEBIT). And i also asked them how many times I can enter - and they said unlimited.

Please do not call the Alliance Bank Helpline - it is totally USELESS - in fact, they themselves are confused and unsure of their own policies. If you do want confirmation, give a call to KLIA Premium Lounge - they would know better since they are the ones who are accepting the cards!

Best regards

yes i know alliance plat credit is unlimited access, but to klia only.

starting this year i might no longer go to klia, only lcct. since alliance credit cant access lcct lounge, thats why i terminate it and change to debit plat laugh.gif

if u noticed, all the credit card that can access the lounge got ANNUAL fee.

but certain card got condition to waived the annual fee.
except for CIMB VS (CIMB dont offer annual fee card, but ur annual income must be rm100k, and next year can enter again only if u spent rm100k this year).

as for mbb2 plat, its free for life and the req for annual income is rm60k only, easy to get - so the lounge will be full? laugh.gif

I think the Amex Platinum charge card from Malaysia only allows unlimited lounge entry at KLIA and some other lounges within Malaysia or neighboring countries and not worldwide. Cos you don't get a separate Priority Pass membership card. This Priority Pass card is what allows you worldwide access to their lounges. I think Standard Chartered Bank Malaysia has a Visa Infinite credit card that comes with a Priority Pass membership card that allows you worldwide access to their lounges.

Also, the Platinum charge card has one of the highest annual fees and it is difficult to get them to waive it, most they can do is allow points redemption against the annual fee.

Yup, the annual fee is RM 2380 and there is 100k welcoming MR points. So that's about RM500 in value.
If it can give me entry into airport lounges worldwide, I'm 90% sure of getting it

If my flight is at the main terminal and not at the satellite, can I take the aerotrain just to go to the satellite for KLIA Plaza Premium Lounge?

If you take domestic flight, you can't enter KLIA Plaza Premium Lounge.

It is capped at 50 pax per month. You are lucky, as Alliance customers base is not as big as other banks.

And with erry sharing with everyone that no need to maintain RM20K in hybrid account to get the card to get access to LCCT Plaza Premium Lounge, by end of this year, more than 50 people would have read this in this thread and go get the card, and then next year the quota will used up by the 1st week tongue.gif

Easy, just like erry did, you go deposit RM20K into hybrid, once card issued withdraw the money and give to your wife to deposit and get the card. Once that is done, withdraw the money and open account under your son's name and he'll also get the card and ...... grandpa, grandma, also can, hahaha Better I don't write this in my blog else 1st day also quota habis.

All bank cards only grant us 2 hours access to PPL according to the person manning the counter at LCCT.
Anyway, you mentioned in your post May 19 that the quota for Alliance Plat Debit card not yet reach 35, as of this week (4th week of the month), the Alliance Plat quota habis. But the quota for Alliance Premier Debit still available.

I entered with my EON Bank VS, save a place for other Alliance Premier Debit cardholders smile.gif

Somebody here tried this before and it worked. You may try. Normally the officers at counter will check your bording pass and note down the credit card numbers.

Yes, they do write down the numbers and sometimes the person manning the counter will ask to see boarding pass. It depends on who is manning the counter I suppose.

As for LCCT Plaza Premium Lounge, there are 2 wings, which are located inside and outside the check-in boarding hall respectively. The counter staff will still check your boarding pass. I normally enter the lounge inside, in order to catch the fight on time.

in my case @ lcct, since alliance plat debit mastercard is un-embossed card, so the staff ask for the boarding pass (to see the name, not the flight time) laugh.gif

CIMB Visa Signature - Enjoy complimentary access to Plaza Premium Lounge 2 times a year, automatically renewed annually if your total spending Is RM100,000 or more per annum.
1. I dont quite get why need to spend at least RM100k annually to get the access renewed when it says card holders able to access 2 times a year (annually) too? Or it is due to the term 'automatically', ie have to manually request for access if spending is less than RM100k?

2. Do CIMB VS grant access to LCCT Plaza Premium lounge? Yes, according to Bro Gen-X's blog, but not listed at the 1st post.

3. Noobie question, what is a Priority Pass Membership? Is it the card itself?

Thanks

For CIMB/DA VI and CIMB VS, the 2x complimentary access to Plaza Premium Lounge (KLIA, LCCT and Changi) per annum is automatically renewed if your spending exceeds RM100,000 per year. It is very stingy if compared to SCB Platinum and Alliance Platinum CCs, which give unlimited free access to Plaza Premium Lounge at KLIA only.

With Priority Pass, you can enter airport lounges around the world regardless of what class of air ticket you hold. Among all the cards in Malaysia, only SCB VI gives unlimited free Priority Pass to the cardholders. Meanwhile, EON VS gives 3x complimentary Priority Pass for worldwide airport lounge access.

Thanks, winner. I am looking at the CIMB VS for access to LCCT PP.

One info for SCB Platinum Business Visa cardholders, you are entitled to 20% discount off prevailing rate in Plaza Premium Lounge LCCT.
LCCT PP other card/bank partners may have some similar/other discounts too. Need to enquire.

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.

You have a good point there. I have been using LCCT more nowadays thanks to AirAsia promos (their sales are like tesco rclxms.gif). I do have SCB for KLIA as backup.

Complimentary Airport Lounge Access- Enjoy complimentary access to Plaza Premium Lounge 2 times a year, automatically renewed annually if your total spending Is RM100,000 or more per annum.


For the following item by CIMB Infinite/VS cards, they will give you in terms of passes/vouchers or you still need to show the card to gain entry? For example, if I have 2 passes/vouchers, can I give it to other people to use it without my presence/card?

Also, from the statement, does it imply that the passes/vouchers will expire and void after 1 year if you didnt use it?

MBB Amex Platinum Principal card also not able to enter , supplementary for sure can't enter as well. In addition, 99% of the supplementary cards issued are not able to enter.

In the old days when I used to have an Amex Plat Charge card, the entry to Lounge is available even for non-card holder, as long as the ticket purchased is charged to the Amex card. If nothing has change, then you should be able to enter as Amex will issue a voucher in the name of the ticket holder. No card is necessary to be shown tongue.gif

Confirmed both AMEX Plat (without MBB logo) charge & credit card (including supplementary) can access both PPL KLIA & LCCT.

That explains the exorbitant annual fees

I would think so, since the lounge doesn't ask for your passport or boarding pass details, they either let you in free with the proper cards or charge you a fee to use it.

From what I was told, Premier Miles comes with 12 free access(2 hours) to PPL at KLIA and LCCT per year. The Priority Pass can be used in Overseas Lounge for two free access. There will be a charge of RM90(5 hours) for using Priority Pass at PPL Malaysia.

RHB Platinum - 4X a year at Plaza Premium Lounge KLIA, LCCT and Senai. 4X access shared with supp card (i.e. supp card also can enter free)


Can the cardholder use the 4X access in one go (principal holder + 3 guests) ? sweat.gif

1st Year Fee Waiver looks like a a good deal, having to pay RM50 GST for the 4X access, dont you think so?

This compared to: OUB Preferred Platinum (5 years AF waiver, 1X monthly access but 400 quota).

for UOB Prefered Plat free access to Plaza Premium Lounge KLIA, LCCT & Senai (subject to monthly access quota of first 400 shared equally among the 3 lounges). Normally fully taken up in the 1st week.

I was at LCCT today and it was reconfirm what MGM said about 12 free access a year with Citibank PremierMiles. This is indeed very good compared to CIMB VS and the useless HSBC VS (as far as access to PPL is concerned)

Anyway, for info, Alliance Plat Debit, EON Bank Plat and UOB Plat quota habis. Alliance Premier only had less than 8 people entering LCCT PPL this month so far and the quota is 20 per month.

1. The Priority Pass that comes with PremierMiles card, any membership fee?

2. If my card is approved on August 2011, means I will have 2 free visits in 2011, and come 2012, I get another 2 free visits as long as I maintain the card?

As an added beneft, you're entitled to 2 free visits per calendar year.


3. Sounds contradictory. But perhap it means to bring a guest, the principal cardholder must be present?

Reserved for principal cardmembers only. Every accompanying guest will count as 1 visit.

You can bring but will be charge for RM40 if not mistaken. If you have 2 credit cards that belongs to you that allow you to enter the lounge, you can actually bring your friend to enter for free.

I see, I thought they will allow you to bring in and deduct from the 12x per year quota. Seems to contradict their policy for Priority Pass where they allow you to bring a guest and deduct from the 2x per year quota.

UOB says unlimited for PB cards but if you read the fine prints, it says once a month. BUT I would say UOB PB card the best card to get free coffee at Orchard Road Singapore at their PB hall tongue.gif

I thought the best credit card for free lounge access is Standard Chartered Visa Infinite card? This is the only card in Malaysia that comes with free Priority Pass Card. The Priority Pass Card allows unlimited free access to all priority pass lounges worldwide, not just in Asia Pacific. As many times each month/year as you want and you are not limited to just Plaza Premium Lounge in KLIA or Changi or wherever.

EON bank Visa Signature or UOB card don't have this, isn't it?

EON bank Visa Signature or UOB card don't have this, isn't it?

yah, the best SCB Infinite, but I dont have, SCB FD rates damn low sad.gif

EON Bank VS and Citibank PremierMiles also comes with Priority Pass but limited to 3 and 2 free passes respectively.

Not necessarily FD, other investment related also considered.

I believe loan at certain amount also qualifies PB.

Is it confirmed EON bank Visa Signature no longer provides free access to KLIA plaza premium lounge from 1st August onwards? Something to do with the takeover by Hong Leong bank? Also affects other EON bank cards like the GSC card?

May I know Citibank Mastercard Platinum only can enter the plaza lounge for 12 times a year? How to know how many times we were already enter?? Is there any way to trace?

Because from what i know from my colleagues, most of them also use Citibank card to enter the lounge, but they said never know that got limit for 12 times a year as they used it very frequent every month and for sure already over 12 times in 1 year without any charges so far....So I quite curious on this....

I don't think you can enter Dynasty Lounge without buying Business class ticket with China Airlines.

SCB Plat card only allow you to enter the Plaza Premium Lounge for free...

I have a question here for citibank PM card which allow you to apply for priority pass. Do we have any annual fee charges for the Priority Pass membership? I read from the web, the standard priority pass will charge u USD99 per year. For priority pass that get from PM, we need to pay any when it is over 1 year?

Nope, it is free as long as you have Citibank PM. The question to ask is, will you get the second year annual fee of RM600 waived by Citibank.

Hi. Complimentary access to plaza premium lounge means that I can eat and get massage for free inside?

Kris Flyer Amex cost only RM125 pa. I travel every month, plan to get one. Seems worth it

For free access with credit card, you can eat and drink all you want within the 2 hours time limit. As for massage, it's mechanical tongue.gif

You can bring but will be charge for RM40 if not mistaken. If you have 2 credit cards that belongs to you that allow you to enter the lounge, you can actually bring your friend to enter for free.

Hi dear friend,

I tried my Citi PM twice to enter Premier Lounge (PL) twice WITHOUT any charges
I had a principal and supplementary card for my younger brother
First time, which was on 4th nov 2010, I use my PM and my gf uses my younger bro supplementary card to enter.
Fine.

2nd time, which is on 16th April 2011, again i used my PM and can enter, however this time they verify my IC against my credit card, as a result my gf cannot enter PL using others card. Had to pay for her rclxub.gif

I guess many have been using others card which they had now smarter and imposed new checking procedure.

Boarding pass check depends on their mood...

Hope this helps.

If I remember correctly the 12 complementary lounge accesses are shared by both the principal and supplementary card members per calendar year.


Heard that PPL is going to open at Langkawi Airport.

Does this condition "Use of PriorityPass to access PPL at KLIA lounges will incur a charge of RM90" applies to LCCT and Senai PPLs?

Citibank just upgraded my card platinum visa card, when i first call them to activate it, they claimed they just added LCCT PPL for access, so happily i activate it, since I'll be flying to and from LCCT quite frequent from now.
but when i call them yesterday to check if sub-card can access PPL as well, they told me LCCT is not accessible for plat visa, only can access KLIA one mad.gif
screwed them nicely on the line, and they still insisted it's only KLIA, and now they are investigating who told me I can access LCCT PPL doh.gif

btw, any way to access the PPL in terminal C when flying domestic? I remember I went lepak at the international terminal donkey years ago when i domestic flight was delayed. Now I just can't find a way to cross over tongue.gif

Err folks ... if I'm not mistaken there's no way you can take the aerotrain from the domestic section of KLIA unless they activate the door. (Which they did when the aerotrain was non-functional for months due to upgrading)

The domestic terminal is on the lower section while the international departures is on the upper level. Aerotrain is on the upper level hence no access via the domestic area. Indirectly this means cannot go to PPL in KLIA.

I'm not exactly an expert in KLIA so anyone can correct me I welcome it.

I don't think you can get 12 free access to Senai but maybe you can use the two priority pass access. To confirm, btter you call Citi.

As for the GPS, read the T&C, it is limited and not guaranteed.

Some additional info on the SCB VI's Priority Pass. It seems if you have deposit or investment of RM 500k & above under your Priority Banking account, you can request additional Priority Pass for your SCB VI supplementary holder as well.

ben83, few questions
1. Are you saying need to deposit RM500K to get a supp card or with RM250K deposit still can get the VI?
2. SCB VI also get unlimited access Priority Pass card?
3. Any idea if the following years Annual Fee will be waived if I don't use the card.

1. Supplementary card can be applied (but without Priority Pass) even if you open PB account with the minimum RM 250k. The RM 500k and above amount is for the supplementary card to get its Priority Pass card.

2. Yes should be unlimited but never really tested it enough since I am not a heavy traveller.

3. This one I am not exactly sure if you never use the card, but SCB VI AF should be waived as long as you retain as PB customer.

Thanks for the reply, I guess it makes sense than above RM500K get supp card because one can also split the deposit into 2 RM250K.

aiyah, I made a mistake, the second question should be SCB VI Supp card also get unlimted access?

CIMB VS comes with 2 complementary passes/vouchers to KLIA PPL. You need to use one voucher for each entry, not by showing the CIMB VS. So ask your principal card holder to share one voucher with you.

Glad to hear that... rclxm9.gif

But may I know how the Citibank trace how many times we already enter? As I heard from my colleague, for sure they already exceed 12 times a year because they are using it twice every month....but until now still can enter to the lounge... unsure.gif

I am a frequent business traveller, but I hardly ultilise any of the airport lounges which is complimentary for business class air ticket. Probably less than 5 visits to the lounge for the past 10 years. sweat.gif

I always apply "JIT" for the flight onboarding or sometimes the last few person to enter the plane. biggrin.gif

May be I should pay a visit to the lounge next Monday??? Got free human massage or not?? brows.gif

yes, it certainly does make the Citi Plat suddenly very attractive to more people. If anyone do get free access to LCCT PPL with the Citi Plat, would appreciate that it be reported here so that I can update the first post.

wow...didn't know that hong leong had so many credir cards that can provide entry to plaza premium lounge, even in changi! lets see, a brief look from the descriptions, the cards that gives limited entry with quota includes:

a) The Store and Pacific - Hong Leong Gold & Platinum Credit Card (500 per month in KLIA, LCCT and Senai. 100 at Changi)

b) Hong Leong - MRCA Gold & Platinum Credit Card (300 Platinum Cardholders per month at LCCT. 100 at KLIA and Changi)

c) Hong Leong - MATTA Gold & Platinum Credit Card (700 EON Bank Group cardmembers per month at LCCT, KLIA and Senai. 100 at Changi)

d) INGIAFAM-Hong Leong Gold & Platinum Business Credit Card (300 Platinum Cardholders per month at LCCT. 100 at KLIA and Changi)

e) GSC-Hong Leong Gold & Platinum Credit Card (500 per month at KLIA, LCCT and Senai. 100 at Changi)

f) Platinum Business Card (6 entries per annum at KLIA, LCCT, Langkawi, Senai and Changi subject to minimum retail spend of RM2,500 within 30 days from the date of entry)

The best looks to be the Hong Leong Visa Signature Card:

-Priority Pass, 3 times complimentary global lounge visit annually
-Unlimited access to KLIA, LCCT, Senai & The Green Market, Singapore Changi Airport lounge

But some looks like it came with a validity term up to 31 Dec 2011 only (Visa Signature, Platinum, MATTA) Whoa a bit overwhelming info...

Hi dear friend,

I tried my Citi PM twice to enter Premier Lounge (PL) twice WITHOUT any charges
I had a principal and supplementary card for my younger brother
First time, which was on 4th nov 2010, I use my PM and my gf uses my younger bro supplementary card to enter.
Fine.

2nd time, which is on 16th April 2011, again i used my PM and can enter, however this time they verify my IC against my credit card, as a result my gf cannot enter PL using others card. Had to pay for her rclxub.gif

I guess many have been using others card which they had now smarter and imposed new checking procedure.

Boarding pass check depends on their mood...

Hope this helps.

Citi PM do allows access into LCCT premier lounge. ENtered quite few times.
Priority pass is on annual renewal basis based on calender year. ie 2011, you gain 2 access, 2012 u get another 2. CONFIRMED

The CIMB website stated CIMB VI only get 2x to Plaza Premium Lounge. Can't find for MAS Lounge. DA VI no info on the airport lounge at all. Perhaps they changed it already now.

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).

Can you explain further on this? I can't remember seeing this as a feature in Citibank Plat cc. Thus far I only know it allow access to KLIA PPL & lately there are reports on successfully accessing LCCT PPL too.

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

I am just wondering how thy trace me for 2 hours free. I am using Citibank platinum card and they just record my number and flight number... Then when I left I ask for sign out but thy said no need. Are thy goin to charge me? Because I stay thr more than 2 hours...

They won't charge you, it stated 2hours but mostly likely they won't bother if you stay longer, my friend sleeping inside the PPL for 5-6hours, nothing happened.

Plaza Premium Lounge is getting crowded sometimes and frankly the food sucks.

In my experience the Platinum American Express charge card lounge access is very regional. My US based card won't let me into the mid-east or european lounges. I don't have a Malaysian based Platinum charge card so couldn't try but the notices specifically stated the regional cards.

Diner's Club has some amazing lounge accesses though, particularly in Europe.

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.

Bro, I am sorry can't help you on above as don't know about supp card. Best you call Citibank CS to confirm.

But let's say for overseas can, you and your supp card can only enter once together since you are only permitted 2 free entries.

The answer to Q2 is no
- Priority Pass grants privilege to the cardholder (on the P.Pass). You can bring in anyone to any lounge that accept P.Pass in the world but charges apply.

This info on the PP application form says otherwise:

Priority Pass™ Membership*
As a Principal Citibank PremierMiles Cardmember who applies
to become a member of Priority Pass™, you will be entitled to 2
complimentary visits per calendar year. Please note that if you
bring a guest, your guest’s visit will count as 1 visit.

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.

nop. i dont care about post count at all. just want to differentiate reply. besides i did edit on previous post ~
haha, and your Plat Debit Card no quota doh.gif But, yah, I will agree with you that UOB Plat don't have much benefits and quota habis very fast and thus no point having it (unless one is into Coach handbags).

erry, there is a reason why you should not post consecutively. If everybody were to post separately like you wanting to differentiate replies, imaging what our threads will look like and what you are dong just makes the thread have more pages and directly causing us to start a new V. As I have mentioned before, you are a Senior Member, last time years back, the MOD would have issued you warning. Having said that, if maybe after 2 days you post separately to bump up thread so that other will not miss your sharing, then it is okay. If you were to do what you are doing now at Garage Sale, Mod would issue you warning and even close your thread by now. Anyway, suka you lah, I will not repeat this reminder again.

haha, and your Plat Debit Card no quota  doh.gif But, yah, I will agree with you that UOB Plat don't have much benefits and quota habis very fast and thus no point having it (unless one is into Coach handbags).

erry, there is a reason why you should not post consecutively. If everybody were to post separately like you wanting to differentiate replies, imaging what our threads will look like and what you are dong just makes the thread have more pages and directly causing us to start a new V.

if mod issue me a warning, or closed my thread, etc. i also dont mind ~

just want to contribute / share info with others here. anything else, doesnt matter ~

oh btw,
yes alliance debit got quota, but not the quota i care, but can enter more than 1 time per month.
while the uob, can only enter 1 time per month. see the diff?
the simple case is, using alliance debit, can enter again on return flight in the same month, or even for 2-3 flights per month.

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.

if the month is school holiday / festive month, then yes, the quota will finished early sweat.gif

now thinking to get eon (hlb) card that can access the lounge.
their matta card stated "Applicable for the first 700 EON Bank Group cardmembers each month at LCCT, KLIA and Senai Airport".
source: http://www.hlb.com.my/pfs/cc/cc_matta_fb.jsp?flag=cc_matta

while gsc and the store card stated "Complimentary 500 entries per month at the Plaza Premium Lounge in KLIA, LCCT and Senai Airport"
source: http://www.hlb.com.my/pfs/cc/ccgsc_fb.jsp?flag=ccgsc & http://www.hlb.com.my/pfs/cc/cc_thestorepa...thestorepacific

which 1 is true? 500 or 700?

and is that quota (i take it as 500) combined for all 3 airports?


Added on October 8, 2011, 3:12 pmany1 using eon (now hlb) can confirmed this?

gst is rm50/year. and i got 7 flights (14 including return) for next year so far.
so less than rm4/entrance. not bad brows.gif

Entry to MAS lounge only via Business Ticket, Enrich Gold card holders and above. Or Enrich Silver with lounge access.
You won't get access to MAS lounge if you are whatever type credit card holder from any banks in Malaysia.

MBB WMC by virtue of being an Enrich Silver member (if you opt with Golden Lounge Privilege). Same applies to MAS Amex Business Card (Enrich Silver / Gold).

Forgot about the MAS Amex Business card and some cards via lounge voucher. blush.gif
MAS lounge is rather good as compared to a 3rd party lounge which you can get access to via the Priority Pass card. Plaza Premium Lounge is our local version of the 3rd party lounge and there are discernible difference as compared to MAS lounge.

Hi, i'm planning to apply 1 CC that can gain me access to airport lounge. Considering Allianze Platinum CC as they r having the 2% cashback promotion. But wondering where is the term that mentioned the complimentary access to airport lounge? It's not available in their website ler.. Allianze

By the way, my annual income is <100k so cant consider other VI.. sad.. so would be good if u guys can recommend any good CC for these privileges:
- with welcome gifts / cash rewards (SCB)
- cashback on spendings
- airport lounges (preferably with access to worldwide airport lounge as m going to London next yr March)

Note: I'm currently holding Maybankard 2 Gold for Amex 5% cashback (capped at RM50) and 5x treatpoints; CIMB TnGo Platinum for free auto TnGo reload & GSC Buy1Free1 promotion.

Yes, you do get Up To 2% cash back with Alliance Plat plus points, click below.

If you want oversea airport lounge, I guess you need Priority Pass Membership which currently does not come with any Plat cards issued in Malaysia. You want London MA airport lounge, then different story, read above posts.

You can consider Citibank PremierMiles, get 2X free access to worldwide airport lounges with the Priority Pass and 12 times combined entries to KLIA and LCCT PPL. But to note the card earns you "airmiles". 1st year free annual fee and check out if you swipe 3 times get RM50 cash back or not.

I checked Alliance Bank website.

Under BUSINESS PLATINUM, there is a statement below:

"Complimentary entry at the KLIA Plaza Premium Airport Lounge (valid for 1st 150 Platinum Cardmembers per month, subsequent Cardmembers will receive 50% discount on entry charges and all guest(s) of Cardmembers will receive 25% discount on entry charges)"

Are they revising it already?

We are talking about Alliance Plat, not Biz Plat. But , I can understand why you refer to Biz Plat because I don't think you can find any info on Alliance Unlimited Free entries to KLIA PPL with the normal plat in their website.

Simple .... how often do you fly vs. how often do you get or will get the rebate. Decide from there.
You want a card then apply for it and if you are undecided then apply for both / pay GST for all cards. If you can afford to fly then RM50 GST per year is nothing.

And this is not a forum to discuss on how to help you make a decision and yourself being undecided, we can't help you on that.

Sorry if this has been asked bf. Must users of Plaza lounge have boarding passes to gain entry with CC? The one in LCCT is located outside the departure gates so anyone while waiting for passengers can gain entry if without boarding passes.

For LCCT there are 2 lounges, one before and one after entering departure gates. The one before is more popular. For LCCT if you are directed to the new departure gate (I think it's "Y") then there is none after entering the gate. For KLIA I think there is only one which is after departure gate. For CC with entry quotas they will check against a list. If it's towards month end you'll normally be disappointed.

CIMB VS VI(2time a year) rclxub.gif
CIMB Preffered Customers

How does one go about using the airport lounge when one has the card ?
a. Buy the air ticket with the card and then go to the lounge ?
b. Or just go to the lounge with the card (regardless of whether one bought the ticket using the card or not) ?

Heard that Maybank Inifinte card has that feature as well.

Kuching still don't have PP lounge. Only got Golden lounge. I believe KK got PP lounge.

KLIA the PP lounge is located inside the satellite building so domestic flight no access.

LCCT is located outside next to the international departure. So domestic flight can enter. Or like me making full use of my Amex, whenever I visit LCCT I just go and enjoy the beer and some free food although the food not very nice. Am having free dinner now in LCCT waiting for my family to arrive from Singapore.

A word of advise though, at LCCT enter the lounge before internationa departure. If u enter the one inside the international departure, first it's small, 2nd food is worse than the one outside, 3rd no massage chair inside tongue.gif


Added on January 4, 2012, 10:58 pmBtw, just got to know the massage chair broke down. They say will take couple of months for the supplier to find spare part. Lol

I think VISA Infinite holders have to apply for the Priority pass Card in order to gain 5X free entry per year. After 5x they will bill your card accordingly. I wonder the 5x includes guests. Any user comments/experience please.

Don't need to apply as the card is sent separately to MBB VI cardholders. 5x does not include guests.
Experience ? You only gain access to 3rd party airline lounges which is not the same as the airline lounge itself.

Do u mean need to swipe card before visiting those lounges? NO.

Access to Plaza Premium Lounge
Just present your Citibank PremierMiles Card for access to the Plaza Premium Lounge. Each cardmember is entitled to 12 complimentary visits per calendar year for KLIA and LCCT combined.

Access to Global Airport Lounges with Complimentary Priority Pass™ Membership
You need to apply for a personalised Priority PassTM Membership card and is limited to 2 complimentary visits per calendar year. Every accompanying guest counts as 1 visit.

So far only chintl reported new changes for 2012.

I just called HLB Visa Signature CS to ask about unlimited access to KLIA and LCCT and was told that it is still applicable BUT must bring along our Priority Pass Membership card. Last year, all I had t do was show them the EON VS to get free entry.

You must tag along with you friends, you having 3 cards that allow you to enter the PPL, you can bring 2 extra friends along with you to enter for free. Most of the time they will request your boarding pass thus you can't just pass it to your friends without you there.

I think someone did mention this for Citibank issued Priority Pass Membership card since it allows 2 FREE entries. Not sure for Maybank Visa Infinite's PPM.

But I can confirm that Singapore Skyview Lounge staff would not let me use more than one Priority Pass Membership Card to enter for FREE i.e. I have 3 PPM cards but they only allowed me to use 1 of them to enter for "FREE" vmad.gif For KLIA and LCCT Plaza Premium Lounge, they alllow me to use different credit cards for FREE entries for my entire family Click here to read more about it and see photos of Changi Airport T1 Skyview Lounge.

KLIA PP is located at the satelite building. So in the 1st place is whether Jetstar uses the satelite building. If not then with a boarding pass, you will also not be able to use the facility.

Which I don't think Jetstar flew from the satelite building.

siutimtim asked "taking jetstar to singapore can access klia premium lounge ????"
and chintl replied "Why not? As long as u got a boarding pass, u can."

Would you like to GO and check a million times as to whether the question involves boarding pass in the first place ?
Was there any reference you made as to where the boarding pass is or who's holding the boarding pass?

Isn't my general answer correct "Without a boarding pass, you can't even enter the departure area. The airport security will stop you way in advance."
I know what I am talking about ... whoever you are. I studied my answer before I typed it - perhaps you didn't when you anger took over by misunderstanding me.

2 items are required to enter the PPL - Boarding Pass and the credit card or loyalty card or Priority Pass or Cash. Boarding Pass alone will not get you in PPL in KLIA. It may be a different case for the one in LCCT as access to the PPL is available before and after the departure area. (in case anyone asked ... they are separated although side by side)

If I may add, while it is a general understanding that international flights depart from the Satellite Building there are instances where they depart (and sometimes disembark) from the Main Terminal building. Anyone can access PPL if they have ample time to run about when boarding time and for MAS Golden Lounge, you could access the one @ both at the Main Terminal building or Satellite Building.

I am speaking from experience. My international flight is @ the Main Terminal building and I ran off to PPL @ the Satellite Building to grab a quick bite. I have 30 minutes to run between both building and back then it was the era when the AeroTrain broke down and had to use the bus.

siutimtim asked "taking jetstar to singapore can access klia premium lounge ????"
and chintl replied "Why not? As long as u got a boarding pass, u can."

Would you like to GO and check a million times as to whether the question involves boarding pass in the first place ?
Was there any reference you made as to where the boarding pass is or who's holding the boarding pass?

Isn't my general answer correct "Without a boarding pass, you can't even enter the departure area. The airport security will stop you way in advance."
I know what I am talking about ... whoever you are. I studied my answer before I typed it - perhaps you didn't when you anger took over by misunderstanding me.

2 items are required to enter the PPL - Boarding Pass and the credit card or loyalty card or Priority Pass or Cash. Boarding Pass alone will not get you in PPL in KLIA. It may be a different case for the one in LCCT as access to the PPL is available before and after the departure area. (in case anyone asked ... they are separated although side by side)
Well, u said "2 items are required to enter the PPL - Boarding Pass and the credit card or loyalty card or Priority Pass or Cash."

This topic is discussing about "Free Access to Airport Lounges with Credit Cards, KLIA, LCCT, Senai and Worldwide", meaning when siutimtim asked "taking jetstar to singapore can access klia premium lounge ????", siutimtim should already got a credit card (or loyalty card or Priority Pass or Cash) to enter PPL. Thus your statement - 2nd requirement is fulfilled.

Now 1st requirement of your statement, Boarding Pass. I assumed siutimtim was not sure when taking low cost flight or short distance flight, it's boarding pass would be denied access to PPL or not?
So I replied "Why not? As long as u got a boarding pass, u can." to fulfilled the 1st requirement.

But u said...

Silly answer. Without a boarding pass, you can't even enter the departure area. The airport security will stop you way in advance.
Unless you are a KLIA airport staff.


Who is silly here?

To add on, those who do short time transit will be at the departure area after arrival, without going thro the airport security, correct me if i am wrong.

u also said "I know what I am talking about ... whoever you are. I studied my answer before I typed it - perhaps you didn't when you anger took over by misunderstanding me."

I do hope u know what u r talking about, bcoz u r a moderator with >2500 posts, hope our fellow forumer here dun misunderstand your posts.

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.

If I own both cards below, how many guests (excluding me) can I bring inside PPL?
My guess is 5 (2 Priority Passes from Citibank, 3 Priority passes from HLB)?


QUOTE
1. Citibank Premier Miles - Access to KLIA or LCCT Plaza Premium Lounge KLIA 12 times (combined) a year PLUS the Priority Pass with 2 free admissions worldwide (subsequent need to pay). PP is for principal ONLY
2. Hong Leong Bank Visa Signature - free priority pass membership with 3 annual free lounge visits worldwide AND UNLIMITED access to LCCT and KLIA Plaza Premium Lounge, but must show Priority Pass Card.

My experience at LCCT PPL is that the waiter asked for Boarding Pass as ID for the credit card being used. If you have not checked in NRIC will do. Well, maybe different waiter different requirement. The case of using 2 credit cards of the same name for guest is rather interesting.

I used to enter LCCT PPL whenever I'm in LCCT. Be it I'm flying or waiting for arrivals. Most of the time I just enter with NRIC.
Sometimes they asked for boarding pass, sometimes they don't. When they ask for boarding pass, I just casually tell them I have not checked in yet although I'm not flying tongue.gif

It is a unique situation in LCCT where there's 2 PPL - one after boarding pass check/control and the other before boarding pass check/control.
The one before passport control is better as that's designed to capture transit traffic (I spoke to their guys sometime back) and the one after passport control is so-so only. They made this renovation around 1+ year back.

Of course the one before boarding pass check/control one could check in without a boarding pass - PPL management designed it that way to capture such market in LCCT.

Need your advice on this.

Planning a family tour to Korea. Arrive at KLIA in the late afternoon.
a. Possible to use the 5 free passes (MB Infinite with Priority card) for my family members ?
b. Possible to stay in the lounge till 1130 pm for the departure ? Hope there is no time limit while in the lounge.

Thanks.

You can't use all 5 MBB Infinite passes at one go. However if you have 5 different cards you can admit your friends/family provided you are around. Usually 2 hours usage but I don't think it's actually enforced.
