DUB-KUL

Thu 3/9/26

We woke early today at 4am to catch the free hotel shuttle bus at 5am to the airport which we already booked the previous day. Our flight back to Kuala Lumpur via Doha is scheduled to depart at 8.15 am. 

We arrived at the airport at 5.20am and the check in counter was already opened. There was no immigration check required for exit except for flights to the US, only security check. We went to the Martello lounge after security check to have breakfast.  It is a small lounge, but there is a good variety of food. I had scones, croissant and latte for breakfast. There is a prayer room in the lounge with ablution facilities.

Our flight to Doha departed on time at 8.15am. For the morning flight, we served with arabic coffee and qinwan dates. I had karak chai saffron for pre departure drink. For breakfast I had avocado and date smoothie, greek yogurt with strawberry compote as starter and spinach omelette with chicken sausage, asparagus and mushrooms as main course.

For light meal before landing, I had Angus beef burger with coleslaw.

We landed at the original scheduled time at 5.20pm so we rushed to the Gold and Platinum lounge at the North side to do our prayers. Unfortunately, Partner In Crime realised he had forgotten and left behind his clothes in the plane as he was still wearing the pajamas. That was the end of his 'uniform' when flying. Reminder note to always change back to your own clothes prior to exiting the plane.

We had a 8h and 15m layover time which we spent in the lounge where we had a shower, prayers and dinner. We didn't get access to Al Mourjan lounge as we purchased the Business Lite ticket, but as Gold and Platinum members, we could access the Gold and Platinum lounge.

DOH - KUL

Our flight back to KUL departed on time at 1.35am. For pre departure drink I had orange juice, and later iced tea with mint leaves, crisps and nuts while waiting for the light meal. I had crayfish cocktail on brioche for light meal. After that, it was time to sleep until about 2 hours before landing.

For the meal before landing, I had seared tuna with avocado as starter, pan fried turbot with caper dill sauce as Main Course and fresh fruits for desert. This time around I didn't request for the cheese platter, but Partner In Crime did have one.

We landed KUL on time at 2.15pm but could not access Golden Lounge at arrival as our flight was not operated by MH. Platinum members can access the Golden Lounge at arrival for MH operated flights only. We took the airport taxi GoHub but was told to take a larger car (Avanza) this time around, maybe because we had 1 large suitcase and 2 backpacks instead of the usual 1 backpack and 1 suitcase.

Thank you Republic of Ireland for the beautiful memories.
