Lounge Access Help Desk

[admin]

Background to this thread
We have noticed an increase in the posting of questions regarding what Airport Lounges are available at specific airports when travelling on specific airlines. While one can be assured of access at the airline lounge when travelling on that airline (provided you have Lounge membership), thing start to get complex when travelling on a codeshare or partner airline.

Posting Guidelines
Please post your questions about Lounge access in this thread. Be sure to include the airline you are travelling on, the airport (and terminal, if known), and any Airline Status or Airport Lounge membership programs you have.

When answering questions, please include the original question. This will assist in readability and management of the thread.

(Special thanks to Princess Fiona for suggesting this new thread.)

Good to know! I did actually try FlightAware but didn't manage to find future flights, only past ones. I feel like usually I can find that info on FA. And indeed, I just checked my Qantas app, and it displayed T4 departure, then loaded a bunch, then switched to T3 departure. Weird! Thanks all!

We’ll be flying on QF104 next month (in whY) 2x WPs.

We’ll probably end up in the QF Broom cupboard. But wondering if there’s anything better?

I read a very recent review of the JL/AA lounge suggesting it’s pretty poor?

HA will be part of OW by the time we fly, but I don’t know if the HA lounge(s) are any better nor is it practical to get there due to different terminals?

Bumping this question RE accessing HA lounges at HNL pre QF flights. Is it practical and worthwhile?

HA officially joins OW imminently.

Hello. Just wondering if anyone knows what lounge access would be available in KUL & IST when flying business on a MH ticket, code share with TK.
Route is ADL / KUL / IST return. Searches haven't delivered much as MH is OW and TK is SA. Would it be safer to purchase and book in advance?
Presuming no problems on the MH metal from KUL to ADL.
Much appreciated.

MH should be Golden Lounge in KUL and TK’s lounge in IST

So as I understand there no airside PP lounges in KUL IN TERMINAL 1.
We land in KUL from MEL and depart to Male apparently both from T1 so no options without changing terminal.
Am I correct?

Yeah I've looked at the pp website. Nothing airside. Just asking here if I'm missing anything.

Suggest you look again.

Thee airside lounges in T1 Intl - two in the Satellite. And Plaza Premium in the main pier which I suspect is where a MLE flight will depart from.

Albeit checking Flight radar, MH MLE flights operated from a mix of G/H gates and C gates.

At KUL, Terminal 1 is where full service airlines operate from. Terminal 2 is the low cost airline Terminal. They are 15 mins apart, not walkable.
Terminal 1 is made up of 2 buildings - airside only Satellite (long haul & most medium haul flights operate from here) and the Main Terminal (known as the Contact Pier) which has landside (all full service airlines check-in here) and airside (short haul & some medium haul flights operate from here).
In your case, since you're obviously not flying Air Asia if you know you're arriving/departing Terminal 1, your arrival (from MEL, long haul), transit & departure MLE, medium haul) will likely all take place within the airside only Satellite building which, as @moa999 has advised, houses 2 PP lounges.
If your MLE flight is from a gate with C before the gate #, you are departing from the Satellite building. If however the gate number has a G or H before it, then you will be departing from the Contact Pier (follow everyone to catch the aerotrain (near C1) between the 2 T1 buildings). As advised upthread, there is 1 PP lounge airside in the Contact Pier. Stay airside, don't follow everyone and rush down the escalators to the arrivals hall. Don't panic if you have rushed down the escalator and observed the immigration counters & E gates. Turn around, there will be 1 'up' escalator near by to rescue you.
Hope this clears things up for you.
