Normally on arrival home, people just want to get home as soon as possible.....

But if you want to use the ppl, your bags will either be left on the carousel or at the side.....take a note of which carousel as the information will have disappeared from the screen by then....

Or you can collect your bags and go over to KLIA2 to use the landside lounges.....they accept arriving boarding passes.....or used to.....not sure if the recent changes by some banks have affected that...,

Then it's not "arriving home" per se, but on transit....and if I need an overnight transit at KLIA, I will make sure I am able to check through my bags, so I don't have to worry about them....and then just spend the night somewhere.....have done this multiple times in Changi.....and either spend time in ppl.....or book a 6hrs block at a transit hotel.....

For KLIA, I would usually book a night at tune hotel if it's more than 9hrs overnight.... otherwise just stay in the ppl.....

They generally do....just that the new rules by ambank and rhb states "international departure".....so no domestic departure.....and maybe no international arrivals....lol

Wasn't referring to aerotel in particular.....but the change in rules, and whether they still allow entry on arrival....

Presume that's the aerotel ppl....so looks like no change in practice, arrivals still can enter....

The banks have not been able to get the lounges to implement the guidelines, hence decided to either remove the landside lounges (ambank) or restrict to international flights (rhb) forcing the lounges to check the boarding pass to verify destination....

For the other banks, you can continue to "abuse" the system with just your IC....

Actually, most other banks have restricted number of entries, so they have factored in the cost which is finite in their operations....others have even before, limited use to airside, and/or international travels....

The main card being abused was ambank....free for life, unlimited use in all listed lounges....so people enter/eat at gateway or tgm without travelling.....and bring their friends too....

That's why we cannot have nice things in msia... They get abused.....

For a lot of people, the unlimited entries is no use, as it only applies to international travels....so unless you do a lot of international travels, may not even exhaust the 10 entries....

International arrivals are separated from departure, so no access to airside lounges....only landside accessible after you clear immigration....you also have the option of passing into domestic side without exiting the airside....
