I checked with the staff last night and thy confirmed it. I also passed them the screenshots of the MH website and response that a friend received from CS informing that you can use the international lounges upon arrival. The story was also passed to the LoyaltyLobby site by somebody (not me) and has now been published. Ive emailed a few senior MH people about this and awaiting the response. Whats bad is that the lounge staff said that Enrich had informed that at all members had been emailed but nothing has been received by anyone that I know. They are also annoyed that management are not taking the website details down etc, The staff also fed back that since late last year the number of people using the lounge for approvals has grown exponentially. I guess that the December triple points promo, upgrading/renewing those that didn't quite qualify and FY flights earning substantially more tier points has caused this.

Subang Skypark Development Including New RM 1.5 Billion KTM Rail Link

SKS and perhaps Singapore's Scoot will. Wouldn't be surprised if AK wants to return as well. -

I was there a few weeks ago and didn't see anything happening apart from the maintenance hangers -
Im surprised that Air Asia doesn't do this

and will they still be Enrich partners.

is it cheaper for airlines? I've seen similar with flights between the Philippines and Singapore

Was looking at this earlier and was wondering why BKK was on there because they are already flying. After a while I realised that the existing flights are to DMK haha. Wonder if DMK will get stopped? Operating both locations is feasible because Scoot operate to both

sorry Craig its was a typo by me because it was Y to SG hence the long queue

There was no immigration officer at the Platinum/Suites checkin whenever I've been there (which is many many times) however those in Suites usually get staff to assist getting you through the business class lane. This guy was flying J to Singapore and the queues for departure clearance were huge. He asked one of the immigration staff for help and was directed to Business lane. After queuing there was told off and sent back to the Economy line at the back to start again. I've experienced this before and was told off for being sent to the business class queue. Another time I was stuck the queue for an hour+ and with minutes to go I organised the 20 people infant of me is that anyone with a flight closing soon got through and the rest waited. Most of the people in front were heading to India or Indonesia and several had issues. At one point the staff in the 4 or 5 open counters stopped or left top deal with issues so nobody was being cleared. After becoming a regular customer of the Airport Fast Track service I was able to call them and get instant paid pass to get through if the queues were bad. Thankfully since last year I can use the egates now.

Did they only have every other counter open? Saw that a popular travel Youtube guy missed his flight owing to the immigration queues.

The gates in SG can be slow and the minute you have a minor eye issue then don't work which is a pain. The issue seems to be a particular model and both by Singaporean and expat friends say the same thing. Im a UK citizen and find the gates at KLIA much quicker than those in SG. As for the KLIA queues it's mostly a lack of staffing where they man every other counter. Pre Covid I was due to depart at around 8am so at 06:40 I looked and no queue so grabbed a quick snack. By 7:10 there were huge queues owing to staff finishing at 6:45 am and not enough there after. Somer of the issues cant easily be solved owing to many more places needing a visa to enter than required in Singapore.

I don't mind the cubby hole as its desired as long as its not cramped. If you get lucky a have a Q Suite then Im very happy with it. Not a fan of the SQ seats and the bulkheads are hard to get. The kiasu fan club groups seem to think they are best ever. Im sure it's because they can eat carrot cake or other hawker whilst sitting at an angle. As for the MH 747's these were big recliner chairs and many hours of broken sleep was had with them. Have Laos met many interesting people on teh long journey, especially some flying LHR-KUL-SYD. As for TK their new cubby hole seats are the same as the SQ regional which are like narrow coffins. The old seats which many dislike have great legroom and pretty comfortable.

MH Wifi on the 350 to London worked quite well but it failed (along with IFE) on the way home. Statistically I dont know how many issues they have but there is a lot of chatter about it on various groups. I really don't have an issue with the TK old 777 seats and seems that people have a melt down if they down and wall and door around their seat. Perhaps its because I was so used to flying to the MH 744 to/from LHR on the upper deck on the recliner seats that privacy doesn't really bother me.
