Robert 0 Report post Posted March 21 There are new Plaza Premium First and Plaza Premium Lounges open open on L2 near the G gates. This is basically next door to the MH regional golden lounge. I believe these were opened on Monday because I saw the usual floral arrangements at the bottom of the escalator as well as read an article that the YB Loke attended the opening. Its a pity that MH didn't open another F lounge becuase it's a pain to go there on the bus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It pretty much only gets slightly busy (other than the dining room) past 6PM. I don't know if there are a lot of emeralds flying on regional MH flights (those G/H gates). I'd rather them renovate the current regional and satellite lounge instead (nothing wrong with the current lounge right now but if they have the money to throw around 🤣).

Most of the the time time the F&B is pretty poor in the J lounge. In the morning there os often a queue to get tea/coffee which is inefficient and pointless/ f they fixed that then Ive no issues with it. The food in the main J lounge is almost the same so there is little benefit making the trip over there. The issue with the F lounge is that the only place that you comfortably sit and work and the dining room which messes things up when it people want a table to eat at.

The budget constraints are painfully obvious. They need to up their game in the existing lounges, not build another mediocre one. The Satellite lounges became worse after each renovation.

The buffet area at satellite definitely looks way bigger than regional. If I am not mistaken, they have barista pulled coffee for both. There might be some cheap coffee machine that I think I saw at satellite tho. Speaking of coffee, MH needs to get rid of that "Nescafe Gold Blend" as the one and only choice in their premium cabin.

KK Lee 5 Report post Posted March 26 (edited) At one period of time, steak served in mh f lounge was reconstituted steak. On a recent red eye flight, after the bar at satellite lounge closed after midnight, server claimed only one bottle of wine (red, white and sparkling) is available for the whole night. To those brought up in nescafe, nescafe gold blend is premium. Edited March 26 by KK Lee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BTW the steak isn't great now I think the steak still is reconstituted steak right now. At least as of 2-3 weeks ago. Steak wasn't great. Which is why I stick to the fish option for now (at least they can't reconstitute fish) 😂. I miss their kaya trifle tho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
