Raj Changela 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2006 Some questions for the forum members.... I have changed my routing and now will be in KL Nov 9th evening onwards for about 6-7 days. 1) How is Penang spotting? (I did see a thread with some nice photos). I am looking for current spotting info. Will be ok to take photos / spot there (I do not carry radio or video... just my camera gears 2) Do MH or Air Asia offer walk up fares for KL-Penang for 1 day? Was thinking to make a side trip and visit and spot one or two days. 3) If decide to stay for overnight, any nice hotels near to the airport? Thanks for info in advance, Raj Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for info in advance, One day around Penang, iz not enough, got to see the city which is rather dirty iirc, but the food are the best, cheap and fast!!! The beach resorts quite a lot, I saw Cititel Hotel yesterday near downtown Penang, might be a choice? And PEN traffics are quite boring, 15-30minutes interval departure in the morning, then in the afternoon, barely some. The take off rock on back at 4pm onwards, then sometimes later boring(as last week). No info about landing Well, hv a nice trip, feel free to visit me at Oscar Hill on 11th.

Penang Spotting is Pretty Good. Lots Of Cargo Movement. At times maybe dead for a while. There are a Couple of Spots beside the Runway. Teoh, Norman and Chaity have been there..They would know where to Spot from. 2. Not sure abt Walk up fares and any Hotel Located near the Airport..

Gavin Andrew David 6 Report post Posted October 26, 2006 You can get ADAM AIR in Penang . As for the cargo operators , i'm sure it wouldn't differ much from what you get in North America Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teoh Z Yao 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2006 Raj, PEN spotting is boring at the wrong time as others have mentioend. But i fyou go at the right time you can have quite some traffic. Best time is early morning (the rush hour as in other airports) and late afternoon, after 4 pm. Some spotting spots: threshold of Rwy 4. You can take a bus (what no. I can't remember) or a cab. Bus: look for Permatang Damar Laut and/or Batu Maung. Then let the bus driver know you want to alight at the threshold area. Do the same for taxi. Besides Rwy 4, ask to go to the new Cargo Terminal building. Once you get there you know how to find your way around better spots. Good luck; waiting pics from you! Also, don't forget to visit the city! ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
