 If you are flying out of Singapore’s world-class Changi Airport Terminal 2 and hold Star Alliance Gold status, the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge is one of the best airport lounges you can experience—especially if you are flying in economy class. On my recent trip from Singapore to Mumbai on Air India, I had the privilege of accessing this premium lounge thanks to my Air India Maharaja Gold status, which offers complimentary entry to all Star Alliance Gold lounges worldwide. And trust me, this visit was special. ⭐ Why I Could Access the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge on an Economy Ticket Many travelers don’t realise this, but Star Alliance Gold members are invited to the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge irrespective of their travel class. Since I hold Maharaja Gold status with Air India, I was able to access the lounge even though my flight to Mumbai was in economy. This is one of the biggest perks of Star Alliance Gold status—premium lounge access everywhere. ✈️ Smooth & Hassle-Free Check-In My Air India...

 While flying from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore with AirAsia , I had the opportunity to access the Travel Club Lounge at KLIA Terminal 2 absolutely free — thanks to my Priority Pass issued with the American Express Platinum Charge Card. The Priority Pass from Amex Platinum offers unlimited complimentary lounge access outside India, and this was a perfect way to make my early-morning travel a bit more comfortable. Locating the Lounge Finding the Travel Club Lounge at Kuala Lumpur International Airport Terminal 2 (KLIA2) can be slightly tricky. There are no clear signboards within the terminal, and I had to ask airport staff for directions. It’s located airside, past immigration and security, but be mindful — the boarding gates can be quite far, so plan your time accordingly. Check-In Experience I reached the lounge around 7:00 AM, and it was pleasantly quiet with very few travelers. The check-in process was smooth and hassle-free. What I particularly liked is that this lounge accepts d...

 During my layover at Singapore Changi Airport, I decided to explore another popular lounge experience — the Ambassador Transit Lounge in Terminal 3. Since I hold the Amex Platinum Charge Card, which comes with a Priority Pass offering unlimited international lounge access, I could enter this lounge absolutely free of cost. Transition from Marhaba Lounge to Ambassador Transit Lounge After checking out from the Marhaba Lounge , I walked towards the Ambassador Transit Lounge located within the transit area of Terminal 3. Compared to Marhaba, this lounge was smaller and more compact, but it felt cozy and efficient. One thing I immediately appreciated was that the lounge accepts digital Priority Pass access, meaning I didn’t have to carry the physical card — making entry completely hassle-free. Ambiance and Occupancy When I visited in the afternoon, the lounge was about 50% full, offering a calm and relaxing environment. There were comfortable seating options, decent lighting, and a qu...

 After an amazing 6 days in Malaysia, it was time to head back to Singapore. On my onward journey, I had flown from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur with Batik Air , but for my return leg, I decided to try AirAsia — Southeast Asia’s most popular low-cost airline. I booked my Kuala Lumpur to Singapore flight through Cleartrip, and it turned out to be the cheapest option available for my travel date. 🕕 Early Morning Departure from Marriott Putrajaya My flight was scheduled for 8:30 AM, so I left Marriott Putrajaya early in the morning. Having completed online check-in a day before, I expected to have my boarding pass ready on my phone. However, although AirAsia offers web check-in, my boarding pass wasn’t issued online, so I had to visit the counter at the airport for document verification and to collect it manually. Luckily, the early morning hour worked in my favor — there was no queue at the check-in counter, and the staff were quick and efficient. Before immigration, all cabin baggage ...
