Here’s a few shots taken on my recent trip to Singapore and Kuala Lumpur – something a bit different from Southend! I was very lucky with the weather when I was there – avoiding a tropic storm and getting a fair bit of sunshine.
Jetstar are a major player at Singapore with their A320s:

… and A330s:

Even though the Kangaroo Route flights now go through Dubai, Qantas maintains a considerable presence with 5 flights a day operated by A330s and 747s:

And its new long haul low cost subsiduary – Scoot, whose 777s have grown on me! Quite quirky branding!

Thanks a lot glens45 – certainly is nice to be somewhere where everything is new. The nightshots were thanks to a conveniently placed ledge in the terminal!

Thanks Culpano – agree that the Far East can be very conducive. Was very lucky to get both the Bangladesh 737 and Myammar A320, as photos of aircraft going into very few gates can be got from the Viewing Area at Terminal 1. Almost as good as a week at Southend!

Wonderful. I love the Far East. Bangladesh 737 wow and the Myanmar beast – crikey. Love the night shots too.
ps very jammy with the Sichuan schemer 😎

Finally a few from a quick visit to the rather good viewing area at Kuala Lumpur. Although a lot of the traffic cannot be photographed, it is easy to photography what is in within reach:
Malaysia Airlines is obviously dominant here:

Although BA does not serve Kuala Lumpur, KLM does:
