PPL is not a Malaysian company. Well, not all are entitled. I was also in Baiyun earlier, it's not entitled. AmBank even removed Beijing one as well.
Always check your cards' eligibility, you are not entitled for all PPLs. Hence cards with Priority Pass come handy for this kind of cases. However, most of the banks have removed PP.

I think almost everybody at ppl will be on complimentary entry, either cc based or on business class with an airline affiliated to use ppl as their j lounge...i suspect very few people will actually want to pay for it....

for most cc, they will slot and print a slip, which you will sign, and keep a copy, like for any cc purchase...but the slip is not the same as the usual cc payment slip...

if any cc is not accepted, they will inform you...and ask if you want to pay to enter...

never been to welness spa....seldom fly aa...but it should work out the same...

beer is foc, but any other liquor is chargeable...

changi ppl also has private rooms which you need to pay extra to use...of course ppl gateway is itself a "transit hotel" with rooms for rent, although at the price they charge, might as well go get a tune hotel room...

Ok thanks. Something I should take note. I notice for showers need to pay not included in the lounge access.

Usually is nice to have shower when long flights.

Erm, so far I did bath once in KLIA2 Wellness Spa before my flight to Tokyo as I came straight from office. It's free, you will need to inform the staff that you would like to shower and they will prepare the necessary for you.
I seldom fly AA these days and usually morning flights from KLIA, so I already showered before going to airport.

the founder is/was a malaysian...but the parent company is based in hk...

they are very aggressively opening a lot of pay lounges internationally, but what is entitled by any bank cc is based on the bank's list, not the ppl network list....eg rhb cards only entitled to msia based ppl....maybank includes many international airports, but not the new bne lounge, which is in the ambank list...

shower is free, if the lounge has the facility...it is not available in all lounges...that is the main reason i go to the lounges...to freshen up before especially a long haul red eye flight...

Ok thanks. Good to hear that. How to know if free or not? Need to ask the staff? Cos I notice in the plaza website it has different price than lounge access.

If it has shower facility means free lo...

I see. Like dat the massage also free? Haha

Some people just want a shower...so there is a separate price for shower alone...but they have no right to use the lounge and avail the food....

If they say need to pay then reject abit malu la haha.

not necessary

my spouse tried her supplementary aeon at klia2, they also fill up the form and let her sign the "complimentary form". I still grt charge albeit at discounted rate.

They can diffferentiate? Is it different location?

Like dat if my access is limited and I go the shower and then go the lounge consider as 2 entries?

I already mentioned it earlier... Massage is chargeable. Just go there, eat, drink and relax and if you want and they have free showing facility, these are free. Others are chargeable.

It is in the same place, unless you step out from the PPL, then you won't be charged with two entries. You really need to go and try yourself and experience it.

Ya first time will a bit kan cheong.

Nothing to be kan jeong about. Just give them your card and they will take care of the rest. You just need to sign and go in and enjoy.

That is meant for paying customers....have a shower only...not sure if that is often....but in the past i have paid for a shower at changi, before i have free lounge access...this paid/cc/pp lounge concept is relatively new...in the past you only get airlines lounges....

your cc will allow you entry and full use of the place, including showers, food, drinks including beer....

understandable....when i first got my pp card, i was also unsure how it works...used it at munich airport....only had some drinks and sandwiches...only later i realised the bar is also free....they have a pretty extensive range of liquor...

Pp or ppl access better? Which credit card got give pp?
