PPL at KLIA 1 can be accessed only after immigration. If one is not flying internationally via KLIA1, it’s impossible to get in to the area.

Yes can. Arrival boarding pass is allowed as well. But you may need to leave your luggage at carousel or collect it later if you use it at the PPL same terminal as your arrival. For other terminal, they shouldn’t be this strict as well.
Unless any rule has been changed that arrival boarding pass is not allowed. I don’t think so.

However for departures, you will need to account in the time you will spend to do all these especially if you are catching flights in another terminal.

Honestly, if arrivals I just want to go back home as soon as possible after traveling. I don’t even want to stay any longer in the airport because exhausted and all. I only tried once many years ago at KLIA2 when Green Market was still existed.

I haven’t been following the local PPL scene as much as I used to. I remember more cards were offering access to PPL KLIA1 compared to KLIA2. So it’s not the case now? Oh well, KLIA2 has more PPLs than KLIA1 right? I hardly fly with AA these days so not sure what’s happening in KLIA2.

For KLIA1, is PPF still the best PPL? With Dragon Pass, I should have access to Sky Suite and Travel Club as well. Otherwise I will stick to PPF with CIMB TWE for my upcoming trip.

Thanks, I will stick to PPF then. I'm surprised you would choose between GL or PPF; the choice would be obvious if you had access to GL. Whenever I fly with MH or the OneWorld J class, I will go straight to GL and won't bother about PPF.

Is this confirmed? Knowing AmBank surely requires a minimum spending before one is allowed to access.

Then, I look forward too. I already have their VI anyway.

Nice then, because I fly almost every month with MH.

Yeah, I agree as I went there a few times in the morning, it was crowded.

My exact thought. Clearly, I wasn't one of them because I redeemed my tickets.
GL still offers me a better experience nevertheless. Even the domestic GL in KLIA was not bad when I went the other day, as I had to transit in BKI before flying to TPE.

Unfortunately, if fly domestically from KLIA, there is no PPL in KLIA that allows domestic flyers.

HSBC, UOB and many more banks.

CIMB TWE, Alliance VI and I’m sure there are more cards but I leave it to others to share. I can only think of these two for now.

I was at PPF yesterday before catching my flight to BKK. My last visit was on May 20th, a waitress served my ordered meal that time. Yesterday they used a robot to send the food to our table. Not complaining but there’s a change now.

Visa Infinite, MU VI, Mercedes-Benz card for example.

Some banks don't allow. I wanted to swipe two MBB cards to admit my another guest earlier and the PPL asked for another bank card but luckily I have other eligible cards with me.

Good to know that as I also have the UOB VI and PRVI Miles. No chance to use DragonPass yet as I'm always using CIMB TWE for PPF.

Most of the cards follow calendar year which means it’s reset every year’s 1st Jan.

Their lounge is so tiny and useless to be honest.

There’s no domestic lounge in KLIA.

Oh well. Yes, only Golden Lounge but I guess that’s not what he meant if using UOB card.
