Malaysia Airlines (MAS) Domestic Golden Lounge, Kota Kinabalu International Airport
Recently I was flying from Kuching to Labuan and had to transit for a few hours at Kota Kinabalu. The price difference for the Economy Class and Business Class ticket for my BKI-LBU flight on MAS Wings was only RM 20 at the time of my booking so I immediately booked the Business Class ticket without much hesitation.
If you have taken MAS Wings you would know that there is almost no difference between Economy and Business Class on board the plane. However, by buying Business class does give you a free access to the Malaysia Airlines Domestic Golden Lounge, which costs way more than RM 20 if you used Enrich Miles for an entry.
The lounge is located at the far end of the Kota Kinabalu Airport. Since this is actually my first time entering an airport lounge, it looks pretty decent as a whole. Food and drinks selection wise was limited but sufficient for a domestic lounge offering. No alcoholic drinks though. I particularly liked the roasted chicken wings which was marinated well.
A minor complaint would be the electrical outlet ports seem to be located pretty far from the table. So if your cable is short, you may struggle to charge your appliances.
There is also a shower section in the lounge toilet for guests to freshen themselves up. Towels and toiletries are actually provided. Slightly impressed with this.
Overall this lounge is nice if you are flying Business class, but definitely not worth it if you have to use Enrich Miles to redeem a free entry.
