(LGK...here I come.. ) G'day, I am planning to visit KUL thursday 09August, would appreciate if anyone could update me on the status of the photo spots? Anyone planning to be out on 9August? Thanks, Rob Finlayson Hi Rob, welcome to MWing and KUL... I guess, August still single runway ops (32L/14R), so best spot should be still the Weather Station or the 32L threshold area. Hope I (& some of members here) can spot with you that day... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drake 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2008 Hi All, I am currently on holiday in Malaysia Kuala Lumpur and is highly interested in taking a day off on my trip to go plane spotting! I have a few questions about plane spotting at KLIA- 1. How do I get to the good runway spotting areas? Are the spotting areas accessible by taxi? Walking distance from KLIA terminal? 2. Are there any facilities to accommodate spotters-i.e observation deck,toilets,etc? I will decide whether it will be possible for me to go spotting providing that if areas are accessible by taxi/walking distance as I can only rely on means of public transport. Thanks for your time, Drake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walter Sim 1 Report post Posted January 20, 2008 (edited) I think the best is to rent your own car. Anyways check the sticky in the Observation Hill section, they have the locations there. Where are you from by the way? Also spotting is a taboo in KLIA so no facilities. Prepare to be told to get off! Welcome to MalaysianWings!
