Hi,all MalaysianwWings members!

It's my first post from Japan, and I'm sorry for my terrible English.

 

Actually,I will visit KUL from 2nd to 4th,in May.

If someone goes spotting on that day, please call me when you see.

Maybe I will be SPOT 2 (R/W 32R/14L side) in the moring, because it's near from Pan Pacific Hotel where I stay.

But in the afternoon, I will go to SPOT 8(Water Treatment Facilty) or SPOT 7(Meteorological Station).

 

I'm looking forward to meeting Malaysian Spotter!

 

Best regards.

 

Hi Junichi, welcome to Mwings. :drinks:

 

Spot 2 you mentioned above is not so good for morning as photos might be backlit.

 

In the afternoon, SPOT 7(Meteorological Station) is the better place for 32L arrival.

 

SPOT 8(Water Treatment Facilty) should not be a good place for 32L arrival. Most planes would be on the taxiway and not so ideal for photography.

Further more, this location is right next to the road side, bulis might ask you to leave. :angry:

 

Hope to see you in KUL soon.

Dear All MalaysianWings,

On Sunday 21/6/2009 I fly to KUL by Air Asia [sGN-KUL: 21/6/2009 - AK881 8H50] for spotting; My questions:

- Which runway will be use?

- From Terminal can I take a taxi to Observation Hill ?

Rgds,

I would say NO! Most taxi drivers would not have a clue what your talking about.

Your best bet is that someone in K/L reads this post before 21.06.09 and can meet you

at an arranged point and take you there. Greg

If no one can/is willing to meet you, you can always take a shuttle bus to the Main Terminal and visit Anjung Tinjau (Viewing Deck) - at least it's aircon there (if it's working :p )

 

Are you, actually, a Vietnamese spotter ? :huh:

Hello Piteter C. and Malaysianwings team,

 

I'm tangokilo from Vietnam air spotters, as you know, we're going to WMKK on 21th of June (tomorrow morning flight AK881 SGN-KUL). We see your beautiful pictures on JP.net and airliners.net also, since we go to WMKK for spotting only. Thank your team much for your very details guiding. That would be perfect, if one of you plan to go spotting tomorrow, can we join?

'Cause we are foreigners, and as Kanehoshi previous post, it's quite hard to get there.

 

Just some words to say hello to all,

Hi guys,

 

I’m new here to malaysianwings and this is my first post. Congrats on a great forum, lots of useful info and some fantastic photos.

I would really appreciate some help/advice regarding KUL photography. I’m planning on passing through KUL on my way home from a photography trip to Japan/HKG and I'm very keen to possibly do some photography at KLIA. I’ve had a read through the relevant threads I could find on KLIA, but just have a couple of questions.

 

1/ are any of the spots around the perimeter accessible without a car ??

2/ is the observation hall of any use at all for photography or is the glass dirty / heavily tinted ??

3/ i’m guessing the wx in Oct/Nov would be wetter than usual ?? This may decide whether I just bypass KUL and go to VTBS instead.

 

I would prefer to photograph at KUL if possible as I’ve never shot there before...also have been to BKK so many times would like to do somewhere different.

 

Thanks so much for any help and assistance you may be able to offer, I really appreciate it.

 

Cheers

Cameron H

A couple of overview photos of KLIA from the sky, so no problem with police like in last June. It's a sunny but hazy afternoon therefore the pics are not sharp and clear.
