usually check-in will close 40 minutes before departure time.
make sure you get yourself to the counter before that.

So as long as I arrive before that I should be fine? No need to arrive 2 hours before?

Yes, that's right.
But usually it's good to go a bit early as we won't know what will happen on that day.

Note that even if you check-in successfully, you still need to go through passport control, security scan, etc.
If the queue is really long, sometime 40 minutes is not enough for you to go through that.

Yeah, I learnt an expensive lesson.
Miss my flight to BKK earlier this year, original ticket was about MYR 400 per person, the ticket counter in KLIA was selling at MYR 2k per person.
However, there is one kind travel agent helped us to secure our seat for MYR 1k per person.

I wish my credit card points could be transferred to Qatar Privilege Club, then I wouldn't stick with MAS liao.
*
but transfer to qatar also, it will be qmiles I guess, but not qpoints.
qmiles is quite useless in qatar apart from redeeming free flights.

mas ffp is bad i guess, last time i flew like 5 times with them but no miles were shown in my enrich membership.
then i just ditched the card.

Yes indeed. I don't benefit that much from silver status anyway, and can't access Premium Terminal even with gold status. Also, I don't fly that much in a year to be in Gold status.

Might as well redeem a business class ticket ... at least can enter the Premium Terminal.  rclxm9.gif

Gold can access the Oryx lounge in Doha, which is not bad with some finger food.
Business class tickets usually can only be redeemed from 30,000 miles onwards.

Going back to MAS, I like the Golden Lounge because it is not that packed all the time.

Is the Oryx lounge as good as the MAS Golden Lounge??
*
Oryx lounge is more packed than Golden Lounge like 90% of the time.
I like the sleeper chair and sofa in Oryx lounge.
Since gold member can always bring another guest on the same flight into the lounge all the time, it's time to hunt for some lonely victims during check-in or while waiting for flight. It is like doing charity right.
The only thing I like about Golden Lounge is the exclusivity feel as there is no Premium Terminal in KLIA. LOL.

are you Star Alliance Gold member?
actually what is the biggest perk for being gold member?? Is it the lounge access? hmm.gif

more or less like oneworld sapphire.

now there is a star alliance gold game in the website, who gets the fastest time will be upgraded to gold through their respective airlines.
the questions is quite easy if you are star alliance big fan.

what are the benefits of OneWorld Sapphire???
- extra baggage: which I don't need;
- lounge access: which I need, although I prefer premium lounge like those for first class (usually only for those travelling in 1st class only).  sad.gif

business class check in.
priority luggage

Me and my wife are frequent flyer (MAS) because she always follow me fly to Sabah return meet my family.
20+ times a year (Kota Kinabalu or Sandakan).
I never apply enrich card before and i wasted a lot of enrich point for the past 2-3 years. If i apply last 2-3 years ago, i would have 100k+ points toady.

My question is:-
a) Do i get enrich point for me and my wife or only under my name? Or I should ask my wife to apply enrich card too?

b) Let say i miss my flight, do i still get my enrich point? Point is based on flight fly or purchase of ticket?
*
each passenger should have their own enrich card. it is free to apply. why not.

miss flight before check-in, then you will not get any miles/point
miss flight after check-in, then you might be able to get miles/point but it is case by case basis. the miles/point is based on check-in. no check in, no point.

Only if you are booked into an eligible fare class. Some deeply discounted Qantas Airways economy class ticket may not be eligible for Enrich miles accrual.
Some economy class ticket will only earn 25% of the actual miles flown.

in MAS, some economy class tickets will not be eligible for miles accrual and upgrade.

Most booking classes (most codes even for EY) are now eligible for Enrich miles accrual. Yes, even the deeply discounted ticket will now also earn you Enrich miles but at lower rate (50% of the actual miles flown). Basically any ticket purchased directly from MAS (even if the total return ticket cost you just RM200 or so) or travel agencies (not tour group related) will earn you Enrich miles  thumbup.gif

Maybe it's only for Enrich members

I tried with another OneWorld FFP programme, even though I get lounge access and priority check in and also business luggage, there is no miles transferred to my FFP account even after 2 months I tried making a retro claim. It is either MAS is not responding to them or simply there is no miles to be credited.

I tried with Qantas domestic on economy, paid a heavenly price that cost almost the same as my KUL - MEL ticket and got nothing. In my Enrich accounts it states fares not eligible. rclxub.gif

So far Star Alliance is easier to get miles by flying on partner airlines.

Haven't really flown on Star Alliance partner airlines but their participating hotels do credit the miles to my KrisFlyer account quite promptly.

On the other hand for MAS, you gotta consider yourself lucky if you do get your Enrich points by flying on partner airlines. I flew 2-way via Etihad and Delta and only 1-way for Delta has been credited (lucky me!). The other 3.. gone down the drain I guess. Talking to MAS CS is simply pointless.
*
Not only that, their customer service is top notch.
I have SA card parked under KrisFlyer.

Once I fly Turkish Airlines but I forgot to bring my Krisflyer card, then I did a retro claim and fax them the boarding pass.
After one week they did not respond anything, so I just emailed them to ask, then their manager called me to tell me that Turkish Airlines is taking a bit longer time to process their request, and since it is beyond their control, they are willing to offer me a lounge access pass which is transferable.

I bought a promo ticket to Melbourne to attend my sister convocation but the date has changed anyone got any idea to change my flight without paying much money?
*
flight change for promo tix sure will incur some money.
unless you bought full fare economy or business that allows unlimited change.

check the fare rules attached with your tix to see how much you need to pay for flight change.

So it is bidding style? So I guess it is less chance for their FFP card elite members to get upgraded.
