Arriving into KUL a little past 5am, I made my way to the Platinum Lounge - Malaysia Airlines' lounge for OneWorld Emeralds - for my 2.5 hour layover.

The Platinum Lounge is very quiet and it was a nice, relaxing space. However, there were two major design issues. The first was lack of universal power sockets and USB outlets. The second was there were only three toilet/shower stalls, and no additional toilets apart from the showers. There was a constant line of people waiting to use the toilets.

I took a shower after a short wait. After my shower, I waited a few minutes for the dining room to open at 6am, at which time I had a nasi lemak and teh tarik. After eating, I relaxed for a bit before making my way to the gate.

The flight to Singapore was quick and pleasant. We had a choice or murtabak or a tuna sandwich. I am always amazed that Malaysia Airlines manages to serve a hot snack on this short flight.Read more
