Malindo Air KUL-DMK

Time for another country change. Leaving Malaysia for Thailand. Kuala Lumpur for Bangkok. I decided to fly with Malindo Air. Why? A couple of reasons. One would be the machine. A first time on a 739, another one could be the price. The timing of the flight was good as well. Overall on the route from KUL/SZB to BKK/DMK you have a very wide choice of airlines. From low-cost likes of Air Asia and Malindo to some exotics like Egypt Air and Ethiopian. Everyone will find something that will suit them.

Kuala Lumpur KLIA2 pre-flight spotting, WMKK/KUL 2015.10.09

Before my flight to Bangkok I had a couple of hours to spend at the airport. I wanted to have them to take some pictures. My flight departed from KLIA2 (the rather low-cost terminal) so all the pictures are from over there. At the entrance to the terminal there is a possibility to watch planes from two terrace like places at two ends, each pointing to a different section of the airport. Both are areas that you can smoke at. One is additionally almost part of an restaurant. After security and immigration there is a great spot at the bridge over a taxiway to take pictures of aircraft moving both in and out of their stands. The traffic is dominated by Air Asia. Very dominated.

Iran Air 747SP IKA-KUL

It was time to leave Persia. Destination: Kuala Lumpur. After dinner at the Iran Air maintenance facility we head back to the hotel, take a quick shower, grab our luggage and take a taxi to IKA. At least those who fly this evening to Malaysia. STD is at 2055LT. We arrive at the airport around 1900 hours so we have plenty of time to check-in and some shopping before the flight.
