Airport entrance
Nigel bugged to June, saying that he never been to KLIA before and ask her to bring him to there. June showed him the road directions from Sepang Gold Coast, as this is his first time to there. Approximately 25 minutes drive to KLIA. That time was heavy rain with storm. But we managed to reach there with the slow driving speed of 80 km. Parked our car at the cover roof parking area, with the parking fees of RM4 per hour.

Next, we stopped at the Viewing Area to check on our national airlines. Malaysia Airline System Berhad (MAS) is the government-owned flag carrier of Malaysia. Malaysia Airlines operates flights from its home base, Kuala Lumpur International Airport and with a secondary hub at Kuching. The airlines plans to relocate its headquarters from Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah airport to KLIA in February 2012.

The Main terminal building or Terminal 1 is located in between the two runways. The contact pier is the rectangular-shaped terminal that is connected to the Main Terminal Building. It serves as the domestic terminal for Malaysia Airlines. Some international flights are handled there as well. Previously it used to cater to low-cost carriers' passengers. At the north side of the pier, it can only accommodate narrow-bodied aircraft. In contrast, the south side of the contact pier can accommodate Boeing 737and Boeing 747 or similar sized aircraft.

After finished our tour in KLIA, we took a short tea break in Old Town White Coffee. First time in my life having tea in airport @_@ Bear in mind, the price of drinks in airport will be rather expensive compare to other place. Anyway, once in a blue moon. Should be OK. =D

Although I had been to airport for twice, but I still love to go there because I will have a great chance to get closer to the big planes. Love planes very much. Every time when a plane flying over, for sure I'll looked up to see the plane. Such an unique interest I have. Hahaha.. Once again, I really enjoyed my day. Thanks to my beloved friends, June & Nigel. Cheers!!
