Singapore-Changi 01-02-2019

Hej everybody!

this is my final post of my trip to Hong Kong and Singapore. The last day was a long day. I had a late check-out at 2PM, but my flight back to Amsterdam departed at 01.35, so quite some time left for spotting.

Singapore is traffic-wise an interesting airport to spot. Lots of nice airlines giving you a nice variety. Spotting itself at Singapore is challenging. If you have the budget, a Superior Runway View Room at the Crowne Plaza makes things easy. From the room you can spot until around 14.00. After that you can move to the Viewing Mall in Terminal 1. However, not all traffic is passing the Viewing Mall, which means it can be quiet now and then. If you are a numbercruncher, then it doesn't matter as you can still see planes departing or arriving. There are spots around the perimeter, but during the winter months the runway usage is not really convenient for those. So, something to remember.

Enough talking, here is my selection of my last day of spotting.

1. Emergency ISO3200 shot at 7AM in the morning of this A330-300F of Air Hong Kong. Then it was time for breakfast :)

And that was spotting from the hotel. Time to check-out at the hotel and check-in for the flight back and do some spotting from the terminal.

10. Hmm... Is this also a retro of Malaysia? :D
