Peter Smith 1 Report post Posted February 25, 2010 If you let airport hotels know in advance that you are an "aerosexual", from my experience they try hard to get you a room with a view. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted February 25, 2010 I wonder would it be a problem to request a room facing the runway at Crowne Plaza. 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)... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vivek 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2010 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! Here's a shot clicked from Room #909, which I am sure you all will like Singapore Airlines A380-841 9V-SKI Note the beautiful white lights on the NLG and the wing. Because of these, you can identify an A380 from far away. - Vivek Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobK 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2010 Hello all, A bit of a long shot given the time of day (night), but would anyone be able to get me the registration of todays CES545 flight PVG-SIN please? It's due to arrive in 1 hour at 2250 local. I believe it is an A300-600 today. It goes back the other way leaving at 0055 local as CES544. I would really appreciate it if someone could get me the REG of it if able. Thanks, Rob UK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kianhong 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2010 Kianhong, good catch of that Quiksilver Jet. When is Singapore based 3K planes turn in special livery ? This OZ Jetstar isn't SIN based as she is now operating the PER-SIN-PEN-SIN-BKK-SIN-PER pattern for a minimum of 2 days according to Liam. I first saw it on A.net and ask Liam to give me head ups if she ever heading this way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kianhong 0 Report post Posted March 7, 2010 Liam asked me to post the following informations so that anyone who haven't got 'Quiksilver jet' can still do so tomorrow. After today, VH-VGZ will be in SIN only in the afternoon tomorrow, arriving as 116 ex DPS. Then won't be back until Wednesday, but not 100% sure which flight.

kianhong 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2010 Sorta special, SP Setia Sdn Bhd title added to FYD. Some extra revenue, perhaps? Look utterly familiar? This is ex-Neptune Air 9M-NEA. What happened to Neptune Air? Last heard, they operate a B732F and B727F. Thanks for viewing. Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
