I have just arrived back from a far east trip that began with Finnair and used Air Asia and Firefly in the Far East,you may be interested to view some photos.
On the way to Helsinki in OHLKD EMB190,we have just learnt that it is snowing and -10c in HEL.
Starting the decent as the northern sun is lowering fast.
On arrival in Helsinki,the airport in functioning with no difficulty, despite the frozen conditions.
Airbourne in a340-300 OHLGE after an hours tech delay with the no 2 engine its only 9 hours 35 mins to Hong Kong via the northern route over Russia and Mongolia.
It comes light pretty quick on this route.
Vapour trail from the Airbus 340 winglet whilst on finals for HKG.
A turbojet ferry from Macao races the 340 on finals.
There are some good vantage points in HKG terminal,will post some shots tomorrow.
During an 8 hour delay at HKG whilst awaiting a flight to Penang Malaysia,thanks to Air Asia,I stopped myself getting bored by taking pics.
Although through glass of course,the view airside is no problem.
This is how I got to Langkawi island,from Penang,due to Firefly cancelling my flight.
Langkawi island is beautiful,and no mass tourism,
Firefly were there for my return to Penang ATR72-500 9MFYF.
Back to Penang for a few days
I then fly with Firefly from Penang to Phuket in Southern Thailand.
The beautiful Andaman sea islands of Malaysia from 16000ft.
Arriving at Phuket,after 1 hour and 15 mins and to a 34c temperature.
Not much of interest at the airport,now to continue my hols
will post some when I can.
