No, not entitled. It has to be 3 spending for the month you ride.
For your case only January is entitled.

Then too bad if you landed on the 1st day of the month from overseas.

And the only option is you swipe your card 3 times while in the plane buying Wifi access. But then they probably argue you are in international airspace and doesn't count tongue.gif

International & domestic departure flights in Kuching airport is shared in the same area / hall . There's only 1 PPL in there . Hence , all domestic & international flights shared to use the PPL . I am very clear on that because every year i will be there few times.

Well , i have used my PremierMiles card to access PPL everytime i back to KL from KCH . I have no issues for entering even my flights is domestic.
*
Don't know whether it's always like that or not. But the last time I took international a few months ago, I can't access PPL which was in a level below international. Or may be it was just my unlucky day.

My last trip to Kuching was at April this year 2018 , fly from KCH to KUL . There was no issues for me to access this PPL with my PremierMiles card before departure. And before this trip,  on March 2018, i access PPL at Penang too with the same card , fly from Penang back to KUL as well . So far for me , i was able to access PPL with PremierMiles card to fly domestic in Penang and Kuching, except Kota Kinabalu which i never been there before.
*
KCH to KUL, you can access PPL. But not to Singapore etc.

It used to be ok previously. Now you would need different cards from different banks to access. This is confirmed for both KLIA and KLIA2 ppls. That is why you need to apply for credits cards from different banks in order to bring your more people in.  rclxub.gif

Not just KLIA. Heathrow also.

Blame the auto correction. Haha
My worst delay was in Bangkok.
3pm delayed till 3am.
No notice in advance, keep on delaying a few hours and finally the flight only reached by 3am.
Got some voucher to spend on food.
*
I suspect, even if they knew the flight will be delayed by 12 hours, they will never tell you that. They will never say more than 3 hours. Often a few hours....then a few hours...then a few hours more etc.

Perhaps, not too sure.
If I knew it will delayed for 12 hours, I will at least go back to City or choose to fly the next day.

I think I read somewhere saying if the delay is more than 3 hours, there are extra obligation on airline's part. Hence they will never tell you straight away the delay will be more than 3 hours. If less than 3 hours, their only obligation is give you chicken feed.

But I am not too sure about that. Just my guess

Never tried Aerotel plaza premium lounge. How to go from the plaza premium lounge near food court in klia2 ? Is it very far?
*
Level 2M. Both the older Plaza Lounge and Aerotel on same level. About 2 mins walk from each other.

PPL is no longer like 5-10 years ago. I don’t feel it’s premium anymore. 5 years ago when I went it, it’s not crowded and you can really relax before flight. Now it’s too crowded and so many foreigners sleeping on the couch. Disgusting
*
Well, in some airport, you can have a choice of either PPL or one of those airline alliance's lounge or Mastercard lounge. And some aren't much better than PPL's.

I can't say I have to many, may be a dozen, but I reckon KLIA PPL's not too bad in comparison.

I planning to use PPL (with shower) in heathrow T4 this December.
Travelling with wife and 3 children plus 1 infant.
Me and wife already got MBB Infinite each.

How much they will charge for my childrens for walk in guest?
I know infant is free. I read somewhere that infinite holder (guest) can get 20% discount
*
If u are able to enter Skyteam lounge, I reckon that is better than PPL. With some card, you can enter both.

Go to The Green Market better than PPL. RHB VS can go to TGM, used before.

Why is Green Market better? PPL have shower and draught beer.

from SC website today:
The complimentary access to Plaza Premium International lounges in KLIA & KLIA2 is only open to valid principal WorldMiles Cardholders with a valid international boarding pass. Accompanying guest(s) will enjoy a discount of 20% off the Plaza Premium Lounges’ published rates.

Know the difference between SC Worldmile and SC Priority VI?

AFAIK, the later can enter domestic lounge.

The original gateway ppl has shower facility, and is also a transit hotel, but you need to pay extra for the rest rooms, and is expensive and not worth it....

The new Aerotel ppl has more space and better food, but no showers....

So choose based on what you need....
*
Rest room. Normally for transit you need not more than 12 hours or less. For that amount of time, it no more expensive than Tune Hotel. So it can be a viable option.

It's significantly more expensive than Tune hotel. A single room for 3 hrs is rm235, a double is rm358....you can get a 12hr double for rm250 with Agoda sometimes, which is about the same as a 24hrs tune hotel room....

My conclusion is, better off with tune hotel....if just a few hrs during daytime, tune has their day stay rooms for much cheaper...

Alternatively, use the container....
*
For overnight stays
Like u say, a 12 hours in PPL is RM250 which is about the same as a 24 hrs Tune Hotel. For transit passenger, not many needed 24 hours.

And PPL is a lot nearer and convenience for tired travelers.

So it all depends on the situation. If you needed 24 hrs and day time only, of course Tune Hotel is cheaper.

Hi sifu2, I have two cards from different banks that allow access to PPL KLIA2@Gateway. I’m travelling with my wife and don’t want to leave her outside. Is there any chance that I could bring my wife in by swiping each card once?

should not be a problem.

As I feared, after years of abuses, all banks are clamping down on the lounge accesses....

Rhb was good for domestic access, after the others removed....but now they join the other banks to restrict access....no more domestic travel access now, completely removed Kuching, it appears the landside klia2 lounges will now be restricted to international travels only.... although it's silent on the gateway lounge.....

One entry a day per cardholder.... unclear if you can use different card to enter same day at different lounge....

Honest bonefide travellers are now punish together with abusers....
*
I think all cards are 1 entry per day.

And some bank like Ambank, it's also 1 entry per day even if you have 2 cards, Visa and MC.

Not really....there isn't any significant removal of benefits for lower tier cards, and the changes, particularly removed of domestic access, applies to both "normal" cards as well as the premier cards....

So premier customers are equally affected.....no exception....

There are exception. AFAIK, Chartered premier customer still have unlimited access to both international and domestic.
