These "exotic" lounges cost the banks little money.... seriously, how many have used say, the Rio or Muscat lounges?....
*
Yup, agree.

QUOTE(wjleong15 @ Dec 12 2019, 12:56 PM)
although will transit there
but transit time 24 hours
so will go to town and come back
and leaving flight is located in terminal 2 non-Schengen area

let's see whether any surprise from Ambank
*
Yea, transit there last year.
Purposely opt for long transit hour to go Helsinki (city).
Morning arrived, evening departed.
I think it is sufficient for me to cover the distance by foot.

any good recommendation in Helsinki?
your arrival also 12am? got rest in hotel or straight go jalan city?
thinking how to kill the time until 5-6amĀ  hmm.gif

I see, that's why you are asking for lounge access.
I flew from SIN, arrived early morning, spent ~2 hrs in airport before going out.
If not mistaken, there are plenty nice seats in the airport.

QUOTE(Jnkm13 @ Dec 12 2019, 06:02 PM)
If have the opportunity, I would personally prefer to visit a city even for a short while rather than sitting in a lounge. I mean, no matter how good a lounge is, it's just comfy seats, food and drinks only right?
*
Of course if given such opportunity, but it depends on transit time.
It is not feasible with only 4-5 hours to go out for certain cities.
Unless you have at least 6-8 hours only good to go outside.

i recall unlimited is a 2019 promo. prior to that there was limit too - have dig up old post to confirm
*
2018 confirm unlimited, not sure what's before that.
Preferred VI, not normal VI.

Msia CC benefits is too far behind our neighbour (Sg) as well as other developed countries.
I am expecting bank to offer much much better CC benefits for priority banking customers.

I believe 2018 was only 4 times except SG was unlimited as in not accounted in your 4 entries. I guess 2020 will be kinda similar to 2018 except is 8 entries excluding selected lounges likely SG again.
*
Preferred is unlimited.
Normal VI is limited, but I don't know how many times.

Now the 8 times limit is for Preferred VI.

You came out yourself after 1 hour or they chase you out?
Still can sneak into lounge after that?

Plan to enter the lounge in Changi Airport with my wife and 2 kids (5yo and 9 yo).
Going to apply for Ambank VI with supp for my wife. Any recommendation how to bring in my kids for free ?
*
You and your wife, each of you apply for another card eligible for Sg PPL.
Easiest shall be HSBC VS I guess.
Each of you will sign in yourself and one kid.

Note: both HSBC must be principal, supp not entitled
Note2: don't miss out HSBC lazada voucher

My wife not able to meet the per annum requirement for HSBC VS. Just noticed that HSBC is charging annual fee RM600. Can get the waiver ?
*
HSBC waiver with 12 swipes (to be exact, 1 swipe / month).
You can always cancel on 11th month.
Check first page and get yourself 1 more card eligible for Sg.

A good article regarding Changi T4 to T1-3.
At least a proper reply from Changi about the rules.
The problem is, I doubt AirAsia can check in from Jewel (someone pls clarify this).

I doubt AirAsia will allow check in at the jewel....they don't even allow early check in....

In any case, if you travel with AirAsia, why do you want to go to t1-3 anyway?....you cannot access any of the lounges there....

Go TGM makan or PPL

Then use the blossoms ppl lounge at t4....note that tgm at T2 is no longer in the ppl list ....so don't know if it's still available...in any case, seems like too much trouble for a set meal....just use blossom lah.....
*
Went for proper dinner in TGM some time ago, hence take the hassle to go T2.
Also i think my dad CC does not have access to blossom.
Seldom fly from T4 nowadays, still no chance to step in blossom tongue.gif

Hi guys, I would like to ask some question for Changi Airport.

If I arrive at Changi Airport by flight, lets say it landed at Terminal 2 (T2), then I will start at T2 Level 1, right?

So if I want to go to the T2 transit area which is at Level 2, how to go there from T2 Level 1?

From the map, I saw there is only two lifts that can bring me to Level 2 before exit the immigration. I clouded the two lifts on the attached map. Is my understanding correct?

thank you.
*
Take escalator up.
Yes, those two escalators.

New year tomorrow, sure lots of revision to lounge rules....

At least this Citi revision is positive....
*
I don't think you will see any changes for tomorrow, even on 2/1.
Yup, all CC will stated the lounge benefits till 31/12/2019.
But as per my observation from the last few years, bank will not update the T&C for the next few weeks.
We will just follow the old benefits and assume renew automatically, unless it is stated or the benefit is removed in the page.

If u used to travel from MY to any overseas, this was the best card for me as i had hundred swipes per annum.
Sad news for the revision.

Wow, you fly overseas twice a week!
You can consider getting an unlimited PP or LK, so that you can also enjoy lounge when flying home.

Unfortunately, Citi PM wasn't too useful for majority here.
I will say the pros has outweigh the cons.

Sometimes 3 return trips per week.
Luckily those were the days. Now already cool down.
By the way to get unlimited PP or LK?
*
1) Amex Platinum (AF RM3250) - unlimited PP
2) Citi Prestige (AF RM1k) - unlimited LK
3) SCB Priority VI (RM250k FD) - unlimited LK

Hi folks, I have a trip coming up that transits at HKG for 4 hours travelling on KA to PEN. Wondering anyone can recommend which lounge can I visit?
*
Depending on which card you have.
For normal PPL access, there are 2 in HKIA, one near Gate 1, another near Gate 35 (recommend this, also nearer to 2xx gate for KA to PEN).
If you have PP, you may top up some $$ for PP First.
If you are using Amex Platinum Charge Card, you can head towards Centurion lounge.
