How does one feel at home when flying above the clouds? For starters, Malaysia Airlines recognise that your journey begins even before you board the plane. It's the sum of thoughtful gestures that stretch over the whole journey that makes you feel at home. The comfort and ease of flying with Malaysia goes above and beyond your expectations. This is the Malaysia Airline experience.

At the Airport

Check-In
When you travel First Class on Malaysia Airlines, or if you are a member of Enrich Gold, your journey begins on the ground. With your busy travel and business schedules, you will have no time for queues and other worries. Travelling First Class means you can make use of the Telephone Check-in service so that you can take care of last minute business details or do your last minute shopping before heading to the airport.

You can arrive up to half an hour before departure if you do not have any luggage to check in or up to 45 minutes before your flight leaves if you have check-in baggage. When you arrive at the airport, your boarding passes will be waiting for you. Just look out for the red carpet at our First Class or Golden Club Class check-in counters.

Baggage Service
As a First Class passenger on Malaysia Airlines, your baggage allowance is 40 kilograms. If you are part of the Enrich Gold Frequent Flyer Membership programme, you will be entitled to a baggage allowance of additional 50% over and above your class of travel bringing your total baggage allowance to 60 kilograms. When checking in, kindly present your Enrich Gold Card to benefit from the extra 50% baggage allowance. If you are travelling to/from North America you are entitled to one additional bag. First Class passengers are entitled to carry up to two pieces of hand luggage into the aircraft cabin. Each item should weigh no more than 5 kilograms and should be easily storable beneath your seat or in the overhead storage compartment. Your luggage, when measured together, must not exceed 115 centimetres or 45 inches.

Premier Lane 
For speedy immigration clearance, Malaysia Airlines invites First and Business Class passengers to use the Premier Lane for departure and arrival at Kuala Lumpur International Airport, KLIA.

Invitation cards for the Premier Lane are given to the First Class, Golden Club Class passengers and Enrich members at the check-in counter for departing passengers ex-KUL.

Golden Lounges
As a First Class passenger with Malaysia Airlines, you will also have exclusive access to any of the Golden Lounges strategically located around the world from Kuala Lumpur to Los Angeles. Come in and relieve yourself from the stresses of modern travel and hectic schedules. Being a First Class passenger on board Malaysia Airlines definitely has its privileges.
