Malaysia Airlines Lounge Satellite (Long Haul)

In the satellite building of Kuala Lumpur International Airport you will find both a Business Class and a First Class Malaysia Airlines lounge. The Business Class lounge is big, and offers a variety of hot and cold food that can be quite good. There is a very quiet and well equipped business centre, and the staff are happy to help you with printing if required. The bar is also very attractive. A range of wines, including champagne are available, as with the regional lounge, the beer choice is limited to carlsberg There is usually some sport to watch on the big screen. The washrooms and showers are fine, though at peak times it can be difficult to get access to the showers.

That is not the case in the First Class lounge. Here the showers are usually available, and they are quite impressive. The lounge does have a more sophisticated and quieter feel, as you would expect. On the other hand, the buffet food is no better than next door. However, there is also a table service section- I have not tried this, nor do I know if there is a more extensive choice of beer!

Near to the shared reception areas are a large number of lockers which can be very useful if you are travelling alone and do not want to carry any hand baggage wherever you go in the airport.

One world passengers could use the Cathay Pacific lounge in the satellite building instead, which is briefly reviewed here.
