Oh...here u are...
it seems that the interest for medicine has declined a lot in Ed.Essential... unlike before...

Forgot to report here. Hardly log in to LYN these days.
I used Maybank 2 Premier Cards MU Visa Infinite and SCB WorldMiles to enter PPL at Aerotel KLIA2.


By the way, has the aerotrain service in KLIA resumed? I'm flying to Bangkok in two weeks and on business class, I want to visit the Golden Lounge at the Satellite Building. Otherwise, is the regional GL good enough?

I have always opt for cashback CC but now the cashback is getting lesser and lesser. I want to change to CC to collect air miles, access to lounge will be good to have. I mostly use my CC for online purchases (shopee, lazada, air tickets), insurance, top-up to e-wallet (TNG and Grab), and contactless (F&B, groceries, shopping). I'm looking at HSBC Visa Signature Credit Card and Standard Chartered WorldMiles World MasterCard.

Is there any other cards that I should look into?

Using bus for transit.

Was lucky going the day after my colleague fly off the day before. He had to walked there under rain lol

World miles access is for international flights only. Not applicable for domestic

How frequent is the bus?

The trip is about 10 minutes only but waiting time to board around 15-20 minutes in the morning. Quite a long q but moving. Night time about 10 minutes on weekdays.

The bus transfer is now pretty fast, they will fill the bus and then move, often the next bus already waiting behind. The problem is that some of the buses aren't designed for such transfers and your cabin bags may be a problem.

Will have to bear with this for the next 2 years as I doubt they will bring the old aerotrain back to use while the new train system is being installed.

The entire profession is in a bad state.

No need spend...but only access to local lounges....

Oh mine will be afternoon, hopefully all good. Otherwise I will just go to the regional GL.

Two years? I thought it’s going to be fixed in just a few days.

Looks like I will just settle for the regional GL then.

It's a completely new system, and will take 2 years (estimate of course) to install.

The Regional GL is decent, and basically a smaller version of the main one, with similar food and facilities....

The bus transfer is pretty efficient and maybe adds a few minutes extra....Note that on arrival at the MTB, you end up on the arrival level heading towards immigration....to go back to the departure level AND the domestic transfer, you need to U turn up an escalator....to get to the later, you then need to go down another escalator...and there are no signage....many a traveller who should have done an internal transfer to domestic, ends up in baggage collection, out to the land side, and then need to reenter via the domestic departure....,

Wow, so much of tedious to get back to the departure.
I will spend a longer time this round working there while waiting for my evening flight, I will just go to the Regional GL then. I don't think I will go to PPL this time unless there is a time limit for GL visit.

If my flight is around 6pm, can I check in my luggage around 1-2pm?

Just entered the ppl in KLIA Satellite. Looks like a market with huge crowd, nothing premium

How about the PPL at Changi T1, possible to collect luggage and then still go? Or a different section altogether?

Not possible

no time limit at GL...

MH allows early bag drop within same day anytime....and sometimes will allow a late night bag drop for an early morning departure....

fish market is my description....lol

maybe try the new one at MTB....

the T1 PPL is at airside, so once you leave the airside (to collect your bags, you have to), you cannot go back again, unless you have another flight....

hihi, can Citi PM holder enter PPL in KLIA2 when taking domestic flight?
