Does Malaysia use a different alphabet and numbering system ? Reminds me of the scene in "Flying High", when the Marshall is being asked for the location of the baggage trolley and by pointing to it with his light sticks, the 747 is diverting, crashing through the glass wall into the waiting lounge.

I’m convinced that if Noel was caught up in a bomb disposal emergency at the airport the response would still be “but nevermind!” 😅

Here is a good tip for next time you are in perth: when you enter international departures and go up the escalator into the food court, follow the signs that point you north towards "Viewing area". Go up the sets of steps and there is a place to watch the planes take off and land all for free! I don't see why more people use that because it is an amazing place for planespotting.

Ah my old home airport, Wellington. I miss it. Flying over Taranaki and Tongariro is beautiful - looks like you got lucky with the weather.

Nice staff in airports always makes such a difference. The lounge looked nice too, especially with the viewing platform. Back in the late 80’s early 90’s when I was a kid, you could go out onto the viewing platform roof of my nearest airport, Cardiff. And there was an aeroplane museum down the road from there too with an Avro Vulcan. Good times.

Great to have you in New Zealand Noel 😊 and kudos on the pronunciation attempts, pretty solid!

Your trip to Auckland reminds me of an old friend I knew from the Airliners travel forums.

I think he would have enjoyed your channel, Noel. Just saying you never know who is a travel geek.

I Like The Livery.Great Video

The airline that you flown in this video is called, " Batik Air Malaysia". Some people have no idea that there are two Batik Air in Lion Air Group. First is Batik Air Indonesia from Indonesia and lastly is Batik Air Malaysia formely known as Malindo Air. The two difference between them that i know is Batik Air Indonesia doesn't have the Boeing 737 MAX in it's fleet while Batik Air Malaysia has the MAX in it's fleet.

Batik is my favourite airline to AKL. Pretty much the same price in J as AirNZ is in economy plus. Done it several times. Very impressed.

Noel the fact that you arrived later may have helped you by avoiding the mess that is AKL international arrivals. NZ have a lot of international arrivals, and departures in the 5:00-7:00 time and it has been well known the airport has significant issues with managing this. Oh welcome to NZ and my home airport of WLG. I wonder if you are going to take some of the smaller airlines out of here, Origin, Sounds, Golden Bay but Air Chathams too.
