Firefly From Sultan Azlan Shah Airport Ipoh

Time really flies... soon it was time for AA to fly back south after being in Ipoh for almost five days, the longest leave he has ever taken so far...  seriously..... hahahaa....

His flight was around 4.50pm and we left the house around 4pm, it only takes around 10-15 minutes to the Ipoh airport.... It has been many years since I last visited my hometown's airport because it does not cater to many places, just Medan (I think) and Singapore....
At the T-junction traffic light..
turn right to the airport...
 This Royalty banner captured my eyes.... 
the airport is named after our Perak Sultan...
due to the haze, the grass are yellowish... 
eh... under renovation too!
reminded me of Sibu airport...
Maybe it will be completed when I "fly" the next time..
perhaps in one month
The temporary entrance to the airport....
15 minutes before departure.....
till we meet again...

IN less than two hours my handphone rang...
AA has reached his destination... so fast!
Thank you Firefly!
I will fly in you one day!!

  10. Here in Hawaii, there is an airport on each island. Yeah, it's a hassle to visit friends on other islands because of the expense of flying -- can't drive. There used to be a ferry, but the government got rid of it.

  12. Ya...like Sibu airport. Still doing it, not completed it...but progress is good. They said September - hopefully it will be so.

    No Firefly from here and Firefly from Sibu before would fly to KLIA...and if ti Ipoh, would have to go all the way to Subang to catch the flight. Such a nuisance...

    I hope Air Asia will fly Sibu-Ipoh one day...
