Hon Kit 3 Report post Posted May 14, 2010 Probably, if you book a Suite... Last time I stayed there in February, I booked a single room, but effectively had a Kingsize bed... I guess if one were to get a room in Crown, they would not be bother about the bed but traffic outside their windows all night long! BTW , Guys from KL could try booking Firefly as they are having Rm1 fare from SZB to SIN . Booking through mobile only. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flee 5 Report post Posted May 20, 2010 Bump! Just wondering if 4 pax can share a room @ Crowne Plaza. That way can spot 24 hours. Normal room at Crowne Plaza was going at S$ 221+++ until last month. This month it has gone up to S$ 253+++. Not sure if it is possible to have four people in a room and remain undetected! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kwek 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2010 Hi all, It is runway 20 season, so stress free spotting from the Changi beach for mornings and afternoons. Enjoy folks! I am sorry but there is a very high probability that I will be outstation during that particular weekend. So barring any last minute change of dates of my working trip, I won't be attending this year's anniversary. Cheers! Kwek Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cornelis Boersma 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2010 Pieter, lets say I text you when I get back into hotel on Fridaynight, while drinking a beer we can discuss time for breakfast or whatsoever. I leave it up to the SIN guys to name time and location. I hope some more people come to participate that day ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flee 5 Report post Posted June 10, 2010 It would be good if we could all meet up and have dinner on the Friday or Saturday night. I suggest that we should bring our own food/picnic to Changi Beach on Saturday so that we have uninterrupted spotting! And don't forget to bring your sunblock!

KC Sim 2 Report post Posted June 18, 2010 Buses serving Changi Beach are: 9 - from Bedok Bus Interchange / Bedok MRT Station / Simei MRT Station 19 - from Tampines Bus Interchange / Tampines MRT Station 89 - from Pasir Ris MRT Station If anyone is going from Changi Airport, please go to the basement and take bus 53. After going through terminals 3, then 1 and then 2, the bus will go up an overpass that takes you past the end of the runway (02L). After that, the bus goes up another overpass before going down and then making a right turn onto Loyang Avenue. Get down at this stop and change to bus 9 or 19. For morning spotting at runway 20R, get off at Changi Beach after car park no. 5 and for afternoon spotting at the same runway, get off at carpark no. 2 (the very first bus stop after a tiny round-about which is just past changi village). There has been some shifting winds of late and at times, runway 02 is in use. Changi Business Park is located near Expo MRT Station. Exiting Expo MRT Station, look out for landing aircraft and follow the general direction (you should go through some landscaped parks with a lake and end up near a green field with the planes landing from your right to the left). There are police patrols from time to time but if you keep your cameras discreetly away, there should not be any problem. NOTE: Please do not bring or use your airband scanners. For anyone staying till Sunday 20 June, there is the National Runway Cycling and Skating event ... a newly-delivered F-15SG of the Republic of Singapore AF is on display (as would probably a few other planes). The event begins at 0800hrs ... I gather even if one isn't cycling or skating, one could still go there. Free shuttle buses from the Eunos Bus Interchange (next to Eunos MRT Station).
