  1.  

    Is this verified?

    I'll be flying on MH143 this October. Haven't got any email from MAS regarding the flight changes. Or maybe later I will...

     

    There you go... more on the chopping board.

    Was trying to book my flight. Thought it was full, till i saw this.

    Kuala Lumpur – Adelaide eff 09AUG15 Service reduce from 7 to 4 weekly (Day 357 from KUL, Day 146 from ADL cancelled)

    Kuala Lumpur – Medan Kuala Namu eff 09AUG15 Service reduce from 3 to 2 daily, MH846/847 cancelled

    Kuala Lumpur – Sydney eff 03AUG15 Service reduce from 3 to 2 daily, MH143/142 cancelled


  2. Thanks for our helpful replies all, photo opportunities seem decent from the viewing deck, I read somewhere that it is backlit to shoot during most of the day.

    Around SZB are there any good restaurants that have non-seafood meals?

     

    Sun rise on the left and set on the right. Its good all day


  3. Hi guys, just back from 32L again today (seems this is the only legal spotting place i can find). I was wondering how you guys can get such nice shots always without the fence blocking your shots. I saw someone who brough a chair today and climb onto his car to take pictures. Is everyone doing that or are there other ways to get good shots. Please advice me. Thanks

     

    32L is not really legal. Police can still come and check on you. You can go further down to the approach area and get a clear shot without fence blocking. Otherwise, everywhere is pretty insecure.

     

    Safest still Anjung Tinjau


  4. Any reasons for this? Anyone have an photos taken from the observation deck?

     

    KUL is not a spotter friendly place. It is not safe to spot outside the airport area. Not safe means, the airport authority / police.

    You can be caught for spotting as they think you carries a threat to the plane no matter what reason you give eventhough you are doing nothing wrong.

     

    Thus, safest place to be is in the terminal .

    Check out Anjung Tinjau thread for pic.


  5. Hi all, a new member here.

    I'm planning on heading to Kuala Lumpur around August for some spotting and I was wandering if I could get some info and advice for a tourist.

    My plan is to arrive on a Monday on EK from MEL, spend a few hours spotting, catch a taxi to Subang to catch Raya Airways 727's (do they have a schedule? looking at FR24 they seem to fly tuesday-Saturday), and hopefully Westar's aviation's G-2, 732 and 721. (anyone know how often they fly?)

    I will stay near Subang for a few days in Hotel Newton Subang, does anyone here know how long it would take to walk from the hotel to SZB's spotting points? I won't have a car unfortunately and will be forced to commute on foot or by taxi, is the area safe? expescially since I will have some expensive camera gear.

    On Thursday? I will catch a taxi back to KUL and stay at a hotel nearby (any suggestions?)

    The main things I want to catch are Iran air's 74SP (Saturdays?), LH A343, MH A388's, CI A343, FlyNas 744, Iraqi Air 744, Saudi 744 ect.

    Anyone know what the normal runway configuration which is normally used and the best spots for those movements (32L)? and again, I wont have a car so I will have to walk.

    I then plan to fly out to Hong Kong on CX or MH for spotting.

    Thanks in advance all, I hope to meet many more aviation enthusiasts in a different part of the world including many users of this forum.

    Regards, Brad.

     

    My serious advice for a tourist, spot only at the Observation Deck at the Terminal in KUL.


  6. If flying the B738 on regional routes is to become a new feature of MH, then the cabin should be reconfigured for that purpose. They should revert to 32" seat pitch and only use sky interior aircraft.

     

    ie. Malindo's config.

     

    Nobody seems to comment anything with Malindo. Their seat are good especially people flying them to India.
