KUL SIN lounge crawl 7 June 2015

[Awesom Andy]

Sure. Happy to go for a walk. Expect heat and crowd.
I should arrive KL at roughly 2pm. Catching a bus from SIN.

Hey Andy, I'm up for Jalan Alor for dinner on Saturday. Not really an afternoon tea kinda guy, though I'll go with the flow.

So who is actually staying in KL? I'm at the Doubletree from Thursday night.

I am at the DT Friday night, and HH Sat/Sun nights.

 

[JessicaTam]

Alls well that ends well?

I hope so. Just had a call from MH Brisbane office. Flights and accommodation approved.

Arrive KUL midnight Saturday night and we will have hotel voucher. Not sure where for now.

Depart KUL 09:25am Sunday morning and arrive SIN 10:20am. We are going to head off to Casino and a quick wonder around and back at airport about 2:00pm.

Depart SIN at 4:50pm and arrive in KUL at 6:00pm. May get to try *Alliance lounge?

Depart KUL at 8:55pm and arrive BKK at 10:05pm on MH Codeshare operated by TG.

Not as much time as I had hoped for Lounge Crawl but a good result. The BKK-KUL flight is a 777 and the KUL-BKK flight a 787 so a couple wins there. First time on a 787.

Getting close now.

I have updated some flights in post #1 and have noticed that your 1650 SIN-KUL flight is an MH codeshare operated by Firefly. Will you still have *O lounge access in SIN? Apart from the MH lounge that is.

 

[JessicaTam]

Will ask for a leave pass tomorrow - wish me LUCK!

So how did you get on?

 

[Aeolus]

Believe or not, still trying!
If I get the go-ahead, I'll most probably be on the same flight as Medhead.

Here's hoping for good news.

Leave pass obtained!
Are there any flights left that won't cost a bomb? I'm using Enrich, J to KUL.

Are you sure? As far as I am aware it is a 777 operated by MH and not a codeshare!

That's ok. Your 1640 flight is MH. Your previous post quoted 1650 which is the codeshare.

Crisis averted!

It was 16:50 and was moved forward 10 minutes to 16:40.

Looking forward to being there and so is my fiancee. Have we set lounge meeting times at KUL and SIN? We are departing KUL ~9:20am and then obviously departing SIN ~4:40pm.

Got it.

TBH I hadn't thought about a plan of attack.

Maybe the Skyview to start, followed by either QF or MH depending on opening times.

Not really an itinerary as such, but a bit of brainstorming...

In SIN, we'll arrive in T2, and assuming all goes well, we'll be having lunch at the staff canteen in T2. So it might makes sense if we hit the MH lounge first, for a short stay. It's a really small lounge, with minimal catering. The only redeeming feature is the set of 2 massage chairs. Then, we can proceed to T1. Skyview is quite close the skytrain, so we can drop by there, before finally heading over to the QF lounge. The QF lounge would be where we would want to have dinner. We shouldn't have any issues with opening hours either, with the QF lounge opening at 2.30pm although for those who want to drop by the EK lounge, I don't think it's open during the late afternoon.

And for KUL, the flight to SIN usually departs from the main terminal, so we'll need to backtrack from the lounges in the satellite... so I guess we'll just wing it.

Good to know a starting point and time for the stragglers.

Sounds like a plan!

Depends on when we wake up.

The star attraction would be the restaurant section in the F lounge in the satellite, so expect a reasonably long stay there for breakfast. In terms of the actual lounge itself, I don't think it's that likable, to be honest. We can also drop by the J side for a look, and may be try out the bistro if you're not full yet. After which, we will make a very brief stop in the extremely boring (but functional) CX lounge, before heading back to the main terminal, and wait for the boarding call in the regional lounge.

Overselling it a bit methinks. Breakfast is by no means a star, particularly compared to KUL hotels

Compared to the rest of what's available in the terminal...

Was in KLIA last night, got into SIN this morning and heading back to KL in an hour or 2

Will probably still do a delayed KL entrance then catch up after lunch.

Looks like I got lucky, QF6 has been swapped for the new A330 config.

It will be great to catch up.
