    Landing at 5am, we had another five hour layover at KUL. It was impractical to leave the airport during this layover, so we spent the time at the Platinum Lounge in the Satellite Terminal. That lounge features a sleeping room with six daybeds, which Jeff happily used to get an additional two hours of shuteye. Unfortunately, I could not get comfortable in the room because of snoring which I could hear through my earplugs, and also because some workers were making noise in an adjacent room, so I gave up and went back into the main lounge. I had a mee goreng mamak and teh tarik at the dining room when it opened at 6am, followed by a shower. I returned to the dining room for another teh tarik when Jeff woke up and ate his omelette breakfast.

    When it came time to board, we made our way to the Main Terminal. The interterminal train was still out of order, and I was looking forward to trying out the personalized limousine service for Business Class passengers. Sadly, we were herded into a standard bus even though we identified ourselves as Business Class passengers. I looked longingly at the BMW SUV waiting behind the bus before reluctantly boarding the bus. I know, this is a first world problem LOL.
