    No, I specifically asked for a runway-view room, and the check-in staff was happy to change the previously allocated room (7th floor)to a runway-view one (8th floor); I also mentioned, I was going to visit the Airshow as I 'do love to see aircraft'...

    (unfortunately, you cannot make this request already on their website when making the booking)...

     

    I had added a note in the comments section on their website, asking for a runway facing room on the 9th floor while making the booking. A day before my arrival, I called their front desk to "remind" them about my choice. They said that they will try their best to assign me a room as per my request.

     

    When I arrived at the hotel, they had already reserved a room for me. In the words of the front desk guy, "Sir, we have reserved the room with the best view of the runway for you - Room 909" Needless to say, I was more than happy! :yahoo:

     

    Here's a shot clicked from Room #909, which I am sure you all will like :pardon:

    Note the beautiful white lights on the NLG and the wing. Because of these, you can identify an A380 from far away.

    Excellent pics, guys! :)

     

    A couple of quick questions:

     

    1) These are 02L arrivals clicked from Changi Business Park, correct?

    2) Till what time is the light good enough for photography?

     

    I will be in SIN from Jan 31st onwards. I was planning to do some spotting at CBP on Sunday - Jan 31st. Anyone planning to go there?

    Azahan - that could be Shah Rukh Khan himself in the IC A320! Recession time = no more movies to act, so working as a pilot! :pardon:

     

    TK - good to see you again, although through the cockpit windscreen.... :)

    Haven't been spotting to BOM's observation hill lately due to all the security related issues. :angry: Digged these two out from my collection from last year. :pardon:
