    DOM to INT at KUL

    Hi all, I'm considering booking a dom to int itinerary on MH. It looks like the specific international flight tends to leave from the H gates. With that in mind, is it possible to take the train out to the satellite terminal to the MH F lounge and then back to the H gates to the flight?
