Hey guys where is Penang airport lounge?

When I depart there is one lounge opposite the security check near Mac Donald but it is wrote vip Lounge. I try enter the door is lock.

Is it plaza loUnge is different area or I go too early? I try enter 6am

If u take domestic flight, the PPL just after the Xray scan, next to MAS Golden Lounge. If you take international flight, there are signage shown "lounge" and u need to use escalator to reach there.

Ok so I need pass the imigresen only can go the Lounge la haha. Cos I went to the one before imigresen and it say vip lol

That's Malaysia Airlines Regional Lounge.

It's 5X TPs (not sure about utilities)

Really depends on where you are going, the returning leg is normally dearer on a paid ticket whilst a redemption ticket would cost you the same points with the exception of YQ.

Eg, it is better to redeem the returning ticket from TPE / HKG than the outbound flight.

Not to forget when you price your ticket you will get online discount with SQ, in other words if u are looking at solely on the award chart, there is still a 15% discount on that. If u have 30+k , I think u should hv a return ticket to Hkg on Y.

Unfortunately the Amex card without the Maybank logo is also a casualty from their recent review on how points are awarded. I.e., spending at government bodies will not earn you a single point.

You are referring to M2C Premier while he said it is 5x points for all transaction using Visa Diamante card..

Thanks. I found not worth to be loyal to one airline la. Cos the flight time sometimes not nice need take other company got good timing. So pts collection slower when use few airlines.

u had 40k points on SQ. that would giv u a ticket from KUL- Hkg / Tpe / China with a free stop over at SG on Y. IT should also give u some left over points as well ? U cud also look at premier economy if u want to make full use of your points.

On hindsight, if u were to transfer the points to vouchers instead of KF from MBB CC, you would likely get a few hundred RM worth. I'm sure the tickets in this case gives u a better return on ur spending.

I'm sorry, I must have replied out of context. Thousand apologies.

Looks like Visa Diamante might have restriction on 5x on certain merchant.
Need more info but guess this card was not widely used yet..
Is ok...just for sharing purposes not touching tat level yet...

I am ticketing AsiaMiles One-World multi carrier award ticket, damn the Manila CS dun let my route go thru after spending an hour on the phone...

PEN-oHKG-CGO//XIY-oHKG-oKUL-xDOH-AMS//FRA-xHKG-PEN

1st oHKG > 24hrs
2nd oHKG > 8hrs, < 24hrs. China & Hong Kong consider as 1 country as I check from asiamiles.com, so >8hrs should consider as stopover.

They claimed both oHKG are transit, how true is it?

I am calling Hong Kong CS now... grrrr....

I would post in flyertalk, see what the experts say.

more serious now ... talk to HK CS and they said MH is not their partner since May 2016, cannot redeem anymore.

woot? MH cannot redeem Asiamiles anymore? What is this nonsense..

MH is OWC... CX is also under OWC...

mh exiting one world?....

I was on flight in hk back to Malaysia and when check in a staff give me Asia miles temporary and ask me sign up. After that how do I claim the miles?

I can confirm that MH is still with OW, was able to acceas Cathay lounge as well as priority boarding last week.
