Malaysia Airlines to Revamp Golden Lounges

Malaysia Airlines is set to redesign its Golden Lounges for a new pre-flight experience for business travellers. The new design will combine elements that are uniquely Malaysian with the modern functionality for a truly enhanced travel experience.

Passengers will be able to get a first taste of the new features in late 2016, beginning with the Regional and Domestic Lounges at Kuala Lumpur International Airport. This will be followed by the Business and First class lounges at the KLIA Satellite terminal and London Heathrow, expected to be completed by mid 2017.

The key feature of the new Golden Lounge is a demonstration kitchen concept, allowing guests the chance to interact with chefs, which will be a focal point for an upgraded offering of Malaysian and international gourmet specialties. Guests will have the option to indulge in a bistro service, have a quick snack on-the-go, or enjoy a fine dining experience in the First Class Lounge. The improvements also entail an upgrade to their wifi services to enable faster speeds along with the addition of universal power sockets for the convenience of guests.

“Delivering a holistic experience for our guests which starts from the lounge lies at the heart of the redesign,” says Malaysia Airlines’ chief commercial officer Paul Simmons. “We want the space to encapsulate the richness of travel with the airline, a luxurious contemporary Malaysian style that our guests will be able to experience when they enter any Malaysia Airlines Golden Lounge around the world.  The new design will feature an expansive lounge where guests will find a world of amenities to help them recharge, relax or catch up with work.” www.malaysiaairlines.com
