Miri airport, Sarawak, Malaysia

in ASEAN HIVE COMMUNITY3 years ago

My sister and her two handsome boys go back. Miri Airport is busy again. Simple design for an airport. It doesn't have any direct international flights except to Singapore. The other destinations transit via Sabah or Kuching then Kuala Lumpur.

Everyone travels. A report a couple of weeks ago recorded 5 million travellers within Malaysia. A good start for the year of 2022.

Miri Airport

The good thing about this airport is that, it only takes a couple of minutes to arrive at the departure hall. Singapore and Kuala Lumpur airports are the farthest. To get to Kuala Lumpur airport from the city, it is an hour then walk to the departure hall takes another half an hour.

Miri Airport resembles Kuching Airport in terms of architecture

Miri airport is smaller. My sister and her two sons were here for a while.

After arriving at the entrance, I went and parked my car. Took this photo, I love symmetrical geometric shapes.

Is it busy?

Yes, crowds can be seen in the airport. This is the first floor. For checked in baggages, you usually need to get them scanned. For hand carry baggage, they are usually brought on the airplane via security checks at the departure hall. At this point of time, Malaysia doesn't allow any pork related meat products to be brought on airports due to the rampant increase of swine flu that affects poultry.

Everyone getting their passports ready to be checked and luggages checked in. If you do not plan on checking in your luggages, the better way would be just checking in online and an e-boarding pass issued via app. Saving the world and trees one paper at a time.

My sister purposely had her photo taken in such a way.

Up the escalator

No trolley from this point on. Only humans. On my instagram feed, travelling. No Covid anymore. Yes, there is, but that doesn't stop us. No. Defeated by a virus? Nope. We've all been locked up so long that our urge to escape far exceeds our fears.

While I was on the steps of the escalator on my way up, I took this photo. In the future, this place is going to change. I've read some expansion plans that have been put in place ready to be executed once the pandemic dies off. We are reaching the end of the tunnel. Malaysia is busy having political problems rather than dealing with the pandemic. The most corrupt ex-prime minister has been denied access to his corrupted wealth by only allowing him to withdraw 250k a month? What? While a lot of Malaysians are having financial problems.

The perfect view

The infinite walkways. When I go travelling, this would have been my favourite view. The walk. The walk to the departure hall.

Isaac eating his porridge. He is 8 at the moment but speaks fluent english. He learnt a lot of his English from YouTube. His great digital mentor.

Hope your having a great day. I have a busy day ahead. Going to go for a run at about 5 PM. I want to spend a bit of time tomorrow to read through new posts and reply unreplied comments. I usually reply to all comments. Even on my YouTube channel. This could sometimes take hours. I always felt that if someone spend that time to write a comment and read my post, it was worth the time to reply back.
