as long you are arriving in KLIA on an international flight, you can get to satellite building using aerotrain or bus without passing through immigration checks. Satellite KLIA has a common public area airside (unlike KLIA2 which isolates arrival or departure)

However once you walked out of international airside, you have no way of getting back in (or to the satellite PPL) without a valid international boarding pass.

Your past experience was OK as you basically did all immigration and custom clearance when you exited the airport to go to sama sama hotel. There is no immigration and custom checks for domestic flights via domestic departure other than ID document (passport or IC)

Then it's simple....when you arrive, you are in the common departure/arrival/international transit area....do NOT leave the area through immigrations....

If you arrive at the satellite terminal, just go straight to the PPL, show your arrival boarding pass and CC....if you arrive at the MTB, then make your way with either train or bus to the satellite terminal...

Make sure you have enough time to get to your connecting domestic flight....the aerotrain is in a minimal service now, and sometimes you will need to take the bus, which will add more time...on arrival at the MTB, do NOT exit immigration like normal, but follow the transit to domestic sign....if you use the bus, it's the same level (if train, go down one level), go through immigration there, then security, then you are in the domestic transit area....go to your gate....

Hi boss, is the golden lounge in international terminal worth 25 usd paid access?

I checked Malaysia Airline website, got add on on the paid access.

I got more than 6 hour

Plan to lepak PPL international using ambank VI for free for lunch ,,,,then enter golden lounge for shower and nap from noon till dinner.

lepak at KLIA lounge for 6 hours lah
they won't kick you out
there are so many people they won't be able to recognise

Is it possible to sleep or lepak overnight at Changi arrival area? After immigration

why not? can walk in jewel too.

While J class and status travellers have unlimited stay at the golden lounge, I believe the pay per entry travellers are also restricted to 3hrs.

And while PPL is also 3 hrs, the fish market conditions make it impossible for them to monitor. There are also shower rooms, and if you choose seats at the far end near the toilets, it's relatively quiet and can try to sleep.

After immigration, you have the whole island to lepak...

Which terminal? Most shops close after midnight la. Just rent a 6 hr Aerotel stay in transit area with comfortable bed, meal, gym and even swimming pool access to relax

Terminal 1. Not on transit, leaving to Msia by bus next morning. Feel not so worth it to book a hotel room in Singapore, price is crazy.

1) i have the citi premier miles and ambank visa signature credit cards? can i bring a guest with either cc?

2) i've never been in a PPL. sorry if this sounds noob. for the cards with spending condition, i wonder how they check whether i've met the spending requirement prior to the visit? or i will be charged first then get a refund?

1. Local no. International yes.

2. The bank got billed the amount. They check if you’ve spent the requirement or not. Otherwise the bank bill u the amount.

Add on:
1. Klia2 international departure ppl is closed. Not sure if they’re reopening
2. Kch ppl is closed too. The sign has been removed.

Thanks for shedding light, now it makes sense to me lol.

Can we visit the ppl near aerotel instead? would be a shame if we can't, was looking forward to my first ever ppl visit.

Not with the Ambank card. Don't know about the Citibank. Check the bank website.

Anyone know what is clas P ticket?

If varies, but for CX, P is one of the business class subclass. There are several business class fare class code, depending on the pricing, flexibility etc.

Quite a nice lounge....much better than the old tired PPL...

It's a "new" chain, apparently parent company is based on UK. Only lounges in India and Malaysia at the moment. BKI first one, KCH second, planning one each in KLIA and KLIA2 international departure.

Currently only contract with MH, and walk in (RM160, not sure how many will be willing to pay that). Trying to negotiate with banks.

Looks like PPL has a new competitor.

Where to look for class J or C business class? Or even worse..nothing at all?

Looks really nice. I hope they can serve as a wake up call for PPL. Their quality has been going downhill ever since MCO was lifted.

Nice! Thanks for sharing
How did you get in?
