Security is tight here, for spotters, this makes it hard. Nobody can go close to the fence so a ladder would be pretty much useless. Security 4x4 cars round the airport perimeter and will question your presence if something seems even just a little fishy which is good for safety reasons. Out of the three runways, 32L/14R, 32R/14L and 15/33, only two are accessible for spotting. 32R/14L is elevated and is about 5-8 meters higher compared to the road. Runway flow is often changed and can vary from time to time. Wind also changes but oftenly, crosswinds happen. Two control towers, one for each airport,control the movements of aircraft. There are observation decks on both airports, KLIA has an indoor one and KLIA 2 has an outdoor one which is actually a Smoking Area. Thats it for now! My next post will be mainly about Plane Spotting.
