Introduction
There used to be a total of 4 Priority Pass lounges in Kuala Lumpur’s KLIA and klia2 terminals. Unfortunately, all of them were Plaza Premium lounges and since the recent break-up of Priority Pass and Plaza Premium, Priority Pass members, like me, found ourselves without an airport lounge in Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
Fortunately, Priority Pass has since partnered up with Sama Sama Express Airport hotel to offer airport lounge services to members flying from KLIA.
There is no Priority Pass lounge in klia2 at the moment.
The entire lounge is mostly made up of dining tables, except for the 4 chairs facing the projector. This space was obviously designed to be the restaurant of a small airport hotel, instead of an airport lounge.

Bottom line
It’s great to have a decent Priority Pass lounge again in Kuala Lumpur but I don’t see this being a permanent arrangement. The lounge is simply too small to be the only option in a large international airport.
Great spot to shower and relax
10 times better than the premium lounge at Singapore its terrible.
I would never go back
Crappy shower areas
Food rubbish and service very ordinary.
Sama sama at klia is fantastic
Hi There,
With the lounge do we get access to shower or any place to change?
Thank you
Hi Sia,
I did not use the shower facility while I was there. However, I see “shower” listed as a facility on the Pririoty Pass website: https://www.prioritypass.com/en/lounges/malaysia/kuala-lumpur-klia/kul7-sama-sama-express—the-airport-lounge
Hello,
Where is lounge located? before or after security check?
Thanks!
After security check. Airside.
It is after immigration, airside but security at KLIA is at the gate.
I see, thanks!
Hello, if my flight departs from klia2, do you think I can go to klia after I check in?
Hi Eva, I am not sure if you can stay in the transit area between both terminals.
