Malaysia Airlines New KL Golden Lounge Review

Wed, 04 Jul 2018

We checked in to the new Malaysia Airlines Golden Lounge in Kuala Lumpur ahead of our business class flight to Japan.

The new lounge opened only a couple of months ago in March 2018 and features plenty of comfortable seating, a dining room with an onsite chef and Laksa bar, and views over the tarmac. The lounge is located in the Kuala Lumpur Satellite terminal, convenient to access for flights to Australia, and also those connecting to London.

The lounge is quite large with lots of separate areas and zones, and Wi-Fi available throughout. It was relatively quiet when we visited ahead of our late night flight, but there is plenty of room for passengers at peak times.   

The lounge is large with plenty of zones to create more private spaces.

The dining area in front of the noodle bar in the lounge is styled like a traditional Malaysia restaurant, with colourful chairs and tiles.
