Great way to spend a long airport wait. Limited alcohol choices, but I was happy with the gin, my friend with the vodka and our other friend the white wine. I wasn't keen on the house red. Such a great selection of food, to help yourself to and to order. Comfy seats and even enjoyed a shower to freshen up!

Bought ticket online a few days ago. The concierge desk situated before exiting was very helpful in alerting the difference between the PINK & BLUE trains , where & how to go to the train platform. Great service overall. I'll be taking this whenever I travel light.

I always use Plaza Premium first class lounge. I did not know there are 2 different lounge managed by 2 different management with smiilar confusing name. if 2 different management, its not mentioned any where. On top one price and in the buttom of the page I saw another price . very confusing booking process even I am travel agent. on top one price and below is another price. I booked higher price. That is what I am not happy. I learnt my lesson. https://plaza-premium-lounge.kuala-lumpur-tickets.com/?ci=1&cm=554191214_1309519439950349_c_o_plaza%20premium%20lounge%20kl_p_{extensionid}&msclkid=9506a13590141c161908c90a796110e4&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Kuala%20Lumpur%20-%20Plaza%20Premium%20Lounge%20-%20English%20-%20Rest%20of%20World%20-%20Search%20-%20All%20-%20All%20-%20cid4462&utm_term=plaza%20premium%20lounge%20kl&utm_content=Generic%20-%20Broad%20-%20English%20-%20All

One word - fantastic! Head outside after baggage pick-up and security and the pop-up is on the left. The staff member was amazing and it took literally 2mins to do 2 phones. Price is an unreal bargain for 15gb of data. Will definitely be using Headout for more activities
