unclear information, not clearly explained....

klia: can, but it's in the transit area, before immigration and luggage....so you bags will be left on the side of the carousel if you are late....no problem is no check in bag....

klia2: no access to airside lounges, as it's in departure area, separate from arrival.....you instead collect your bags, and then can visit one of the 3 land side outlets....

The green market?

Check post 4 in the front page....

Rhb vs always allowed into tgm....after the recent amendments, someone has confirmed rhb cards are still usable to enter gateway and tgm for domestic flights...

We call the original ppl gateway, as that is the location....the new ppl is actually also at gateway, same floor, but because it's opposite aerotel, we call it ppl aerotel....

The aerotel ppl is definitely better all round, except it doesn't have shower....

Entry depends on you card lah....

actually the official rates for both visa and mc are about the same.....but different banks add their own levy on top of the official visa/mc rates....it's this bank imposed levy that is different....

2 cards stand out....as stated the ambank wmc has a low 1% over the mc rate....(normally 2%) and bp mc, which has no levy, for the moment....

Gateway ppl.....they let you stay whole night?

The space, ambience and food is better in aerotel ppl.....but no shower.....

Gateway ppl is very small and basic, but I will choose if I need a shower.....

You will likely have a problem yourself, if your card name is different from your boarding pass name (which will normally follow IC/passport).....not advisable....

There are 2 ppl lounges at the gateway of KLIA2....the original gateway lounge, and the new aerotel lounge.....both have bedrooms for rent.....

CC grants you access to the lounge only, with the gateway one having shower facility....and now both lounges allow a 1hr use of rooms instead....

Tune hotel is the most comfortable, but it's now more than rm200 per night....the day use room rate only for daytime use....

The ppl/aerotel rents at blocks of a few hours, so is an option if you only want say 4-6 hrs....more than that might as well get tune hotel.. .

Otherwise capsule hotel loh.....

If you ask, Mr Google will tell you....

It's either food or room.....

And 1hr room use is basically just a shower.....

If at KLIA, check your bags through, and you are free to use the ppl lounge on arrival....

Which airlines?.....if FSA, you can check bags through to final destination, if the check in agent can connect the 2 separate bookings.....

Eg, say dubai-ek-kul-mh-pen.....get ek check in at Dubai to tag your bags to pen......it will be automatically transferred at kul.....

Rhb card only got gateway and tgm, not aerotel....don't know about CIMB.....can you confirm which of the 3 outlets at klia2 landside is accessible?

The new ppl opposite the aerotel is commonly known as the aerotel ppl.....

Noted and updated front page....

Using cards from different banks at the same time will unlikely be curtailed, as it breaks no bank rules, and the banks don't coordinate with each other anyway, so they don't know....

Not true....

Have done this in PVG, BNE, and Changi....

They will register as 2 entries under the cardholder's name....most banks now prohibit this using multiple cards under their bank at the same time.....but if different banks, no problem....

As far as the lounges are concerned, they welcome everybody, as long as they are paid.....so if they can charge 2 banks for your entry with your guest, and it's within the guidelines from the banks, they have no problem....if you have 4 eligible cards from 4 banks, you can bring 3 guests in too....even better.....lol
