Hi all,
now on the way from Tianjin to Beijing, the superb weather continued with aircraft in front of high level trails easy seen from the car. Garry and I struck lucky by being on the right hand side of the car as this seemed to be a North/South airway on the East side of Beijing and we produced the following log thanks again to FR24.

We arrived at Beijing/Capital airport just after 4pm and were dropped off outside Langham Place. We had booked rooms on the Club Place Executive Floor and had contacted the hotel in advance by email to let them know of our room view requirements. They had duly confirmed this request and we were allocated rooms 6002 & 6017. 6002 was no good at all so it was changed for 6019.

After dashing back and forth from our rooms to get views from the window by the lifts of landing traffic on runway 01, I noted that rooms 6009 and 6011 would be better to keep the dashing to a minimum. This sixth floor is the highest and the rooms you are after face West towards the lake and runways 36L and 36R – you can only see runway 01 activity from these rooms if you’re prepared to leave the room and cross the corridor.

The Club Lounge is just down the corridor and is open all day and has views of runway 01. Free dood and drink is freely available here at different times throughout the day. Spotting after dark was no problem at all as long as you had technology with you. In my case, my trusted old SBS-1.
